This video took me nearly 100 revisions to not get blocked worldwide 😭 So I hope you all enjoy!!
Dang
dedication. i respect that
You worked so hard on it! Keep up the amazing work, even if TH-cam keeps being rude
Hey Aaronitmar can you make everything Zelda spirit reference in smash ultimate please
This is awesome! I kinda figured you would do something like this since you're said you are known as the reference guy. Great job!
No one has said anything but one of the most sweetest but heart breaking lines in the movie is Mario and Luigi's Dad's final line. As posted in the credits, Charles Martinet is their father's voice actor as well but, unless he has done voice acting for games being released in the near future, "These are my boys" is Charles' final line in the series.
He was the voice actor for both Mario and Luigi throughout the series so, its very endearing to hear him speak of them in such a manner, knowing he's finally going to retire his role in the year of 2023.
Charles' voice is being used again in the upcoming (as of now) Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon remake, but those are reused lines from the original. So "These are my boys" is the final original line from Charles.
@@guyofgamez5158I had Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and only got half-way done. For the Nintendo 3DS
I was actually about to comment the same thing about Charles Martinet and I'm glad someone else knew that trivia fact about him
I forgot to mention he's also used for Mario VS Donkey Kong remake
Fun fact: The movie was actually based on a video game series starring Mario, the movie's protagonist
Wow I did not know that I should play a Mario game then
woah :0
So glad that movie-creators are giving small indie companies these opportunities man!!
I don't know seems like a stretch
:o liar
The Luigis mansion reference is more obvious and direct than you thought, the forest is almost identical to the one from the intro to the first luigis mansion game
Also it’s bonzai bill, not bomber bill
I've never played Luigi's Mansion but even I thought it was super obvious
its spelled with a z not an s@@Fredstar.
@@user-hw4sr9rz7x mistype
I knew that forest scene was a reference to Luigi's Mansion
Disney should take notes, the nostalgia was real with this one
Another thing about the Yoshi egg: during the wedding ceremony, it's a Shy Guy that puts the egg on the table which is ironic considering that Shy Guys and several variations of them have been recurring enemies in the Yoshi games since the first Yoshi's Island. Possibly a coincidence but seems too deliberate to have a Shy Guy of all enemy types gift a Yoshi egg considering their prominence in the Yoshi spin-offs.
🧐 yesss you are correct sir
Probably a reference
He stole it birdo because he forgot a gift
everything in this movie could be a reference and not a reference at the same time
And the GBA release of USA Super Mario Bros 2 the first game Shy Guys appeared in 3rd or 4th release of it has Yoshi eggs hidden in the the potion doors
Holy shit, I can't believe Uncle Tony was technically an already established character in the Mario Universe.
Shigeru Miyamoto's inspiration for a chain chomp was an experience he had with a dog when he was a child. I was surprised this wasn't mentioned here as the dog in this movie is very aggressive
22:26 the sentence “seth rogen gets his butt beat by cat Chris Pratt” now that’s funny
You could even call him...
Chris Catt?
Caris Pratt?
The Pratt in the Cat?
Garfield
What I found interesting is that they never call the Tanooki Suit the Tanooki Suit, Donkey Kong refers to it as a “raccoon suit” and Luigi says that Mario “looks like a bear”. I believe these are nods to the fact that not everyone outside of Japan knows exactly what a Tanooki is, and also since people have erroneously mixed the Raccon and Tanooki suits together.
Also the fact that the traditional tanuki Japanese myth is a little too NSFW for a children’s movie 😅
The movie also sometimes gets the names of things wrong or just calls it something else. The Koopa General calls the Spiny Shell a Blue Shell even thought everyone calls it the Blue Shell, they call the Banzai Bill a Bomber Bill, DK calls the mini Mushroom a blue Mushroom, The Mario Movie Twitter got the name of the Spiny wrong. The movie was made by Illuminations team and probably not the normal Nintendo Translators so I see why the movie got some of those things wrong
@@guyguy2034take it you never saw Pom Poko then!
@@sahaprocks7751 With the Blue Shell and Mini Mushroom examples, it really doesn’t matter, whatever name you give them, pretty much everyone who’s seen them in action knows where you’re talking about. And with Mario Kart being SO popular that it even has an arcade version, you’ll find LOTS of people just call it the “Blue Shell”, so they wrote it into the movie because of that.
@@benmalsky9834 plus I guarantee they didn’t call it a banzai bill for cultural reasons.
The idea that Little Mac, the guy who everyone makes fun of in Smash Bros., has an entire Pizzeria themed after his exploits in his own game/life, with his boxers and gloves there and all, really makes me smile.
Definitely sounds like something a local sports hero would do.
Could this mean that this is after Little Mac retires in Punch Out Wii?
Cuz the fact that his boxing gloves and stuff is there really make me wonder about that. Mac NEVER really takes em off
Well duuh, Little Mac is from Brooklyn NY and Mario is the referee so obviously there's a canon lore that Punch Out and Mario are in the same world (Multiverse is just overrated and way too mainstream now 🙄)
I'd say it's canon
Here's another one you missed: In the beginning of the movie when Luigi forces the castle door closed to escape the horde of dry bones, a small section of the Ghost House theme from Super Mario World (and other games) can be heard.
At 18:24 peach says "Nothing could ever ruin this" which may be hinting at the Ruined Kingdom from Super Mario Odyssey, because all of the structures look like those from the ruined kingdom
There is one reference I caught, during the scene where bowser is hosting a party, for a split second, you can see a shy guy taking off his mask. Sadly, he is facing the other way. All the enemies looking at him are terrified.
I can't believe the real Mario from Mario's Pitcross is in this movie!
You mean the Mario from Mario's Time Machine
You mean the Mario from Mario paint
You mean the Mario from Hotel Mario
You mean the Mario from Mario is missing
You mean Mario from Mario Teaches Typing.
10:12 I love the that the Mario head reference went over Aaron's head in theatres, because it implies that all of the split second place names and whatnot were spotted by him
This movie is like a cool love letter to not just Mario but Nintendo in general
Couple things you missed
1. The wallpaper in Mario’s family's house is actually based off of the vines that pop out of “?” Blocks throughout the series.
2. Pauline's outfit in the news is actually the formal outfit that she wore in Super Mario Odyssey.
3. Swanky Kong did survive. By slowing down the footage, you can actually see him get thrown from the kart and away from the explosion.
Another thing he missed, when they enter the jungle area and are approaching the doors, you can faintly hear DK Island Swing from Donkey Kong Country
Also n64 remote Island on the little map
I don’t think someone noticed this: when Mario goes into the Mushroom Kingdom, a yellow butterfly flies away from him, referencing the final scene of Super Mario Galaxy when the universe is re-created
I haven’t seen anyone talk about it, but I saw this on my first watch of the movie. When Mario and Luigi use the Star and throw Bowser up to punch him, they land a hit at the same time, giving off a weird rainbow shockwave that reminds me of the shockwave that happens when everyone (in multiplayer) ground pounds at the same time in New Super Mario Bros Wii
Nice catch
Well, it looks like Mario and Luigi just give Bowser a "good old Brooklyn one-two" (Mario Is Missing reference).
Yeah I saw this as well, i'm surprised it's not in the video, I catched it as soon as I saw the rainbow shockwave
At the end of the side-scrolling portion near the start of the movie, when Luigi mentions that his knees were hurting, I couldn't help but think that that was a bit of a reference to the fact that he's able to jump higher.
17:29 I didnt notice bob-omb battlefield my heart sank 😭
The phrase “it’s on like Donkey Kong” was previously used by Illumination in Despicable Me 3, making it even more amazing that they got to use it in this movie.
wait what where?
@@Dhruvinator In the final battle against Balthazar Bratt, Gru challenges him to a rematch of their dance battle from at the beginning of the film.
@@Dhruvinator Watch the big climax of the movie and you will see where the famous line was used.
@@Dhruvinator It’s not the first foreshadowing for Illumination that they would one day do Mario, in The Secret Life of Pets there was a joke involving a turtle bouncing around like a Koopa shell in one scene.
That's a phrase popularized by a rapper that Nintendo ended up trademarking
If there is a Smash Bros Movie, than I wanna see Mario tell Pit that he’s a video game character, just for Pit to say, “I know.”
How would they explain that though?
@@jaco8822 Mario was playing Kid Icarus, and Pit in the games has the ability to break the 4th wall
@@josephsharp6221 ok
I want Pit to actually have a Mario game in his world so that they both think the other isn’t real.
Ok, know I want a Smash Bros movie
(26:30) In the Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 8, there are moments where you can fall down onto a track lower that is going underneath, which is what Mario does.
You could already do this in Mario Kart 64. 🤓
3:33 I like when he jumps, the game behind Giuseppe makes the jumping sound of Jump Man
With you mentioning Bowser’s roars during the 3rd act, I should mention that you forgot another Bowser sound from the games featured earlier; When Kamek interrupts Bowser’s song about Peach, Bowser growls like he does in Super Mario Galaxy.
Also, you were right about Toad being Captain Toad, as his theme plays shortly after he’s introduced, and Mario asks him questions.
Wether you like this movie or not, it crazy to see how many unique Easter eggs they included. They knew people were going to go frame by frame so they included almost everything possible.
I'm just happy that the people who grew up playing these games are finally old enough to start making movies based on the games that fans want to see.
@@Dargonhumankind of disappointing that a lot of critics attacked this movie. Honestly was way better than anything Pixar has put out in the last 10 years.
@@Donyourmom Critics haven't been relevant for over 30 years, and modern critics are more concerned with whether a movie is pushing whichever "social message" is most popular at the time than if the movie is actually good, fun, etc.
I loved the entire movie, it was epic!
The people who go out their way to put so much details in the background must love these type of videos
Bowser does one of his actual growls when Kamek brings up mario during the first piano scene
if i’m not mistaken, i think the blue toad that stands in for toadsworth takes a lot of inspiration as well from toadbert, a character who appeared in mario and luigi partners in time and bowser’s inside story.
They should have used one or the other; I would have loved it if it was Toadsworth. It would have also been quite wholesome if the Toad that holds Baby Peach during the flashback was a younger Toadsworth.
Well if its Toadbert I like him even less now!
@@mile5787what did toadbert ever do to you
@@niteriemcfarlane5285you will never know the truth
@@niteriemcfarlane5285 be the one thing I don’t care for in BIS
Fun fact: in the latin spanish dub, Mario and Luigi's Dad And uncle are voiced by the same actors that played Mario and Luigi on the latin spanish dub for the live action movie from 1993 😂
In the European Spanish dub, Luigi's VA is the same as in the 1993 movie and the brother of Mario's actor! It's likely just a happy little series of coincidences as the actors are also the recurring VAs for Chris Pratt and Charlie Day
@@skapokonroll that's cool man, the european spanish dub is really awesome, they nailed in the performance for every character
here in Brazil the VA of Peach from the Mario Bros cartoon dubbed the woman in the commercial
That's amazing
Imagine how confused those poor VAs were like "Didn't we already do this movie 30 years ago?"
29:28 the way his tail spins around when he is flying is nothing like the way it normaly does in game, and it looks like the way tails spins his tails in sonic
I actually noticed that
Btw I watched that movie with my family 😊
The Toad campfire and explorer outfit were originally seen in Super Mario Galaxy. Toad's Treasure Tracker is a spinoff game.
this is bonkers oh my goodness, both the movie putting in all of these easter eggs and you catching em all!! fire vid
ayy TCNick im a fan
Sup.
TCnick3 cameo?!?!?!
Hey man, nice performance in the movie. When you said "Do you yield?" I really felt it.
5th
9:15 Neither the Ultra Hand nor the Slugger Mate were NES Peripherals. They were both toys from the '70s.
I want to add that at 20:26, the banana peel that causes the spinout is a reference to Mario Kart as one of the items used in game.
The Mario Movie was amazing from reference and musical perspectives. My favorite part of the movie personally was the awesome musical easter eggs added into the soundtrack.
They definitely went all out with cues from all across the history of the Mario games, and not just the mainline 2D and 3D titles, which I absolutely loved.
Brian Tyler deserves some form of recognition for his incredible work and his incredible partnership with Koji Kondo to make this score possible.
The musical references were so amazing, they just barely make the needless licensed music worth drudging through.
@@Quiltfish The licensed tracks may have been a head scratcher for most, but you got to admit that the use of Holding Out for a Hero during the training montage was pretty cool.
@@benmalsky9834 I mean, they're all fine songs on their own (Although that one was ruined by Shrek for me, personally) but it feels like the conversation when putting those scenes together went along the lines of
"We need a licensed song here."
"Why? Is it a joke, is it world building, is it enhancing the scene?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"It is a licensed song."
i feel the dog scene from the beginning may be a reference to how the chain chomp was created, as one of the game directors was attacked by a dog as a child
It's not just one of the game directors. It's Mario's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto himself who would actually almost attacked by a dog but was saved because of the chain the dog was tied to
That doesn’t excuse Francis’ inclusion in the movie at all. There’s so many better options they could’ve taken for that scene.
The bone reminded me of the bone in Luigi's Mansion 2.
I think the koopa becoming a dry bones shows how enemies respawn once theyre poofed.
15:05 That sounds more like the actual skid noise you hear when you change directions quickly in Super Mario Bros. 3.
19:55 I'm surprised you didn't mention the very subtle DKC music that plays before the door is opened.
It’s been a long time I walked out of a cinema with a massive smile on my face.
I’m not expert by any means but so many references made it so enjoyable when maybe there wasn’t much going on.
my god when mario ran through the kingdom and mario 3d world music played you dont know how happy that made me
@@memezabelle i think my favourite moment was the forward aerial during the parkour sequence.
@@yassin528forward aerial was definitely so sick this movie was like cake to every mario fan ever
when gusty garden played in the credits omg
5th
Seeing Diskun on that hardware store sign REALLY made me so happy! It really shows just how much the filmmakers are very dedicated Nintendo fans.
Actually it just shows how much shigero miyamotto had to do with the film. He was breathing down illuminations necks the entire time so any cool nice Easter eggs are most likely added or asked to be added by miyamoto himself.
@@PurpleArcher102 Yeah, but I’m sure it was the kind of thing where the crew was happy to oblige. Someone on staff MUST have been familiar with the Famicom Disk System at Illumination MacGuff.
@@PurpleArcher102 I just think with lots of references to games from the NES era specifically, a lot of it was also just the crew pulling from many of their favorite childhood games. People on the crew must have really loved Punch Out, Kid Icarus, Duck Hunt, Balloon Fight and so on as children in the 80s.
One thing I think could be another reference is 7:20 you can see the guy in the yellow plaid shirt, which I think is a less menacing version of Ingo, Talon's brother, from Zelda: OoT.
3:11 - The flagpole has 77 written on it. Likely a nod to the release year of Nintendo’s first video game system series; Color TV Game from 1977
i love that the refrences arent usually limited to the 80s-90s. they used all of the games and even semi referenced the anime movie in the mario bedroom scene
Yet idiots try to claim they're just doing a "Mario Odyssey" Movie just because Bowser is doing a forced wedding on Peach (which he tried to do in The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach) even tho there are several Odyssey references (Sand dessert, Toad's rucksack, Cappystore & probably music + Pauline)
I was so happy when I noticed the turbo and the Rainbow Road shortcut in the kart sequence. There's also another sneaky reference that you didn't mention: near the end of the scene, Mario is on the back of DK's kart and Toad on Peach's bike. I feel this is very deliberately nodding to Mario Kart Double Dash where you race with two characters in exactly the same way.
I thought that was a Double Dash reference too.
Another thing is that when Mario drifted away from Koopa general,he did the gap jump from mk64
Actually, the green Yoshi wasn't just special for the movie, he was always a very rare Yoshi even in the games.
What?! Did this change over the years? He was the standard Yoshi in Super Mario World for the SNES.
in her mentioning Galaxies is a response to mario saying it's a big world so technically its back to back wink and nod to mario world and mario galaxy 19:24
When the fire flower went out in the Mario and Donkey Kong fight it was probably a reference to Donkey Kong's blowing move in Donkey Kong Country Returns
Exactly
31:13 the way that they both get the star is probably a reference to other multiplayer Mario games where if you touch the other players they will also get the star power
You missed some musical stuff. In the Luigi vs Dry Bones scene, a remix of Deep Dark Galaxy can be heard, as well as SMW’s ghost house theme. Also when Mario first meets Toad, we can hear a snippet of Treasure Tracker‘s title theme.
Later, at the beginning of the Jungle Kingdom section, we hear a bit of Jungle Hijinx
Seeing all these references just goes to show that Illumination really did their homework on Super Mario
19:14
I do honestly love Peach's design here. Which does make sense since the toads have that as their normal clothes. And seeing Peach in those same clothes has a nice charm to her. Wish we could of seen more of her in that outfit besides this still frame of her, but I would say it's alright.
It's a bit of a stretch, but the outfit may also be a loose nod to Lina from Doki Doki Panic as well, who Peach replaced when it was reskinned as Super Mario Bros. 2.
For whatever reason, her outfit in that freeze-frame kind of reminds me of Aladdin and I don't know why.
@@kristinhorner4628 I mean with the comment above yours said, kinda have some influences from Doki Doki Panic, at least with the toads and how they dress. Pretty Arabic to me, or at least fantasy like with Aladin.
The Bowser tail swing goes back further than Super Mario 64, as it was a move used by Mario in the 1989 Japan-only animated film Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach.
does that mean that the mario 64 tail swing is a reference to that film? woah!
6:57, the clear cube lights hanging from the ceiling form the number 3 like the logo for SMB3
5:48 also the plate mentions M4R10, which is a reference to Mario Day, celebrated at April 10th
19:23 the clothing Peach is wearing, although based on what Toads do wear, it's also similar to the characters from Doki Doki Panic, the game that originated the creation of Super Mario Bros. 2 outside Japan (or called Super Mario Bros. USA in Japan)
Also, isn't Francis the dog based on the dog from Duck Hunt? I have that impression...
18:43 Fun Fact: These noises played with the song arent random. They're a reference to the classic youtube video "Super Mario Medley" from 2007, specifically at 1:40, down to where the notes are played, which is really cool
It's impressive that they even references such an old fan video!
13:13 you missed one. There’s what looks to be a boomerang flower in between the 2 toads. It’s a little obscured but that has to be what it is.
8:50 what if the corkboard is a reference to Kirby Super Star?
For all the things referenced in the Antiques shop bit, I was just a little surprised you skipped over the blue P switches. Still, you did an excellent job on going over so much else, and it's appreciated. ♥
The entire soundtrack is also filled with other mario songs and many of them go along with visual references in the movie like: the captain toad theme playing when toad first appears, the smb3 toad house theme playing when the ATM with the smb3 toad house chest on them, the p wing sound effect in the section where mario flies with the tanooki suit, the beginning of bowser's theme playing when mario is lost in the pipes in mushroom kingdom, and many, many more.
Such a great movie. Something I’m surprised you didn’t mention is during the Mario kart scene. There weren’t many karts that were direct references to original karts from the games but one stood out, the bullet bill bike from Mario kart wii is in there
A kart that looks like the offroader is in the same scene, the one that Mario takes over
I haven’t seen the video yet but Toads truck looks like the tiny titan
3:39 so that means GIUSEPPE IS ACTUALLY JUMPMAN!!!
It might be a stretch but the 3 items for sale in the antique shop at 12:27 reminds me of the item shops throughout the mario party games, and being able to choose between various items, as well as how they are displayed.
15:57 I'm so HAPPY Bowsette wasen't referenced in the movie!!! Thank God, Illumination!!
The ultra hand wasn't a peripheral, it was another toy. You must be thinking of the power glove.
One of my favorite bits is that when Mario drifts on Rainbow Road, it plays the twinkling drift sound pulled straight from recent MK games.
I'm surprised you didn't mention this, but one of my favorite easter eggs that I initially noticed is that in that one brief toad cooking scene, the background music uses the melody from the luncheon kingdom plaza theme in mario odyssey :)
18:07 green yoshi's being rarer even lines up with TTYD since the green yoshi kid is the hardest to get needing you to hatch it within 6 minutes
18:18 definitely Rock candy mines, the mountain's are pretty much 1-1 with their designs
24:44 the only thing that's really from the mach bike is the little screen up front, everything else seems to be a mix between the pipe frame kart and the varmint bike with slick wheels
THIS is the video I was waiting for ever since the movie released. So many other channels did quick, half-assed reference vids right after the movie came out, but your vid is the coup de grace. Bravo, man 😎
20:53 the scarf could also be a reference to that one famicom game where you made fabric designs
Maybe the yeti on the Jump Man arcade is a reference to the one from the Donkey Kong cartoon.
Also is the old woman behind Diddy at 21:12 Cranky's wife? She appears in a few games and died sometime before DK64 IIRC
Don’t forget during the credits you see the former president of Nintendo Satoru Iwata and without him none of us Nintendo fans would ever be here today
I wasn’t too optimistic about this movie. But then the first three seconds when the airship theme started playing and a smile crossed my face.
This was an amazing video. I loved watching this movie in the theaters and seeing and hearing all of the easter eggs and you pointed out so many they I never noticed.
32:33 the post end credit scene with the yoshi egg reminds me of Godzilla 1998 ending where there was one egg left.
Saw how hard you had to work to get this up around copyright strikes, great video, really funny stuff, keep up the great work my dude
Peach in the Toad clothes really feels like a half nod towards Doki Doki Panic. It may not have been intentional, but it certainly has that same kinda feel to me.
Can't believe how many of these I missed, thank you for this!
8:21 I feel like this whole scene is a reference to the beginning of the anime movie from 1986, seems very similar
I was so disappointed that they didnt say the iconic “so long, de bowser” when either throwing him up or spiking him down
Interesting fact about Streets in the movie, You missed one. With "Link St.", there was also Wolf St., which has two references that I can think of. The first one being The Wolf of Wall Street, and the second being Nintendo based with Wolf from Star Fox.
It's absolutely Star Wolf from the Star Fox games. Why would Nintendo reference The Wolf of Wall Street?
The time link transforms into a wolf
guess i'll mention one:
during the scene where mario has to grab the superstar, the sounds used as the star bounces replicates the delicate glass-like "ding" sound you hear in the new super mario bros. games upon summoning a starman.
also MASSIVE kudos to you for fighting so hard to get this video uploaded. your dedication is genuinely admirable
13:08 4 things from Super Mario World: Dragon coin, yellow switch blocks, key for keyhole, and P Balloon. Also Music Box and chest (Toad's Shop) from Super Mario Bros. 3
Love the video and lots of hard work put into it. Thank you!
Great job finding all of these references. Some are obvious even from first viewing, but a lot of these references are very unexpected.
I like to imagine that Rosalina came down and asked peach if she’s seen a Luma and the when she found him she was just like “this is way me and Daisy don’t get involved
This one may not have been a purposeful reference, but the 1-2 pipe chamber had vibes very much like the route our heroes inadvertently took to the primary location of the original Mario bros movie.
At least, from what I can recall. I sat through about 20 minutes of it on cable and bounced shortly after toad got arrested.
And this was also ballpark 10 years ago.
I said the exact same thing when I was watching it. Figured it was a subtle reference
not so subtle, the whole premise of the movie is that the plumbers bros are actually called mario mario and luigi mario which forms the mario familly. this is entirely the premise of the old 90ies movie. this is a nod to miyamoto ackowledging that the mario brothers familly name is actually mario. this is actually a whole nod to the fact that the mario movie of old should of been like this from the get go. seriously, the whole intro is the one from the 90ies movie. the comercial, the plumbing problems, the fact they are out of cash and washed up already. that is entirely from the original live action movie.
I loved that little snippet of SNES Rainbow Road when they are driving!
16:56 The Koopa Troopa murder makes sense because Super Mario Maker has demonstrated how several minions could kill other minions.
I'd like to point out some other things that might be worth noting:
The Kong that opens the gates for Mario, Peach, and Toad is a specific Kong that's been seen in the games, I'm almost certain of it. I just can't remember what he was supposed to be called.
The poses for when Mario and Luigi punch Bowser together (for the first time) while invincible both look particularly like the "jumping up" key art like you mentioned at 32:13. The second one they do while they're high up in the air and spike him like a Smash Bros. Forward Aerial leave them momentarily in a pose that feels similar to me, and somehow feels specifically like something you'd see in a Mario and Luigi game. Plus, the combined stomp they do next reminds me of the one they do when they use the magic door attack in Bowser's Inside Story, although this looked MUCH more forceful.
When Luigi saves Spike from several enemies, including a Dry Bones, he uses its shell as a shield to block an attack from another enemy (I forget what it was, maybe a Hammer Bro.), which could be a slight reference to the Dry Bones Shell powerup in Super Mario Maker 2 that allows the player to jump on things that would normally damage them, boat across lava and poison, and briefly "play dead" to avoid damage. It's a bit of a stretch since it doesn't function as an actual shield, but maybe it was inspired by it.
iirc, When Luigi manages to take a breather after getting away from the Dry Bones in the Dark Lands, the lightning that reveals the Shy Guys and Snifits (I think that's what the ones with the little noses on their masks are called) is accompanied by a very brief hit of the SMB3 castle theme. Maybe it was too obvious to be worth including, but idk. Also, when Luigi screams there, it feels straight out of Luigi's Mansion. In fact, there's one video of the Luigi's Mansion 1 Dark Hallways theme that you can find here on TH-cam where I recall the end having the sound of a ghost popping out and Luigi screaming with a fading echo.
When Bowser and Kamek are playing the piano together, it's obvious that Bowser is playing the Underground theme while Kamek is providing jingles of coins, a question block dispensing a powerup, and then a 1-up sound, but that SPECIFIC arrangement of that order of sounds, interspersed in THAT particular way comes from a SPECIFIC TH-cam video somewhere out there where a fan was playing a Mario medley on a piano. I can't find it, but I swear I had it on recording on an MP3 player or something, because that particular arrangement is burned into my brain from listening to it over and over years ago. Seriously, if anyone can help me find it, PLEASE! Edit: I MIGHT have found it: search Super Mario Medley by Video Game Pianist. That name seemed very familiar, but I could've sworn he put in some sound effects toward the end of the Overworld theme, too.
Tldr
You didn't listen to the entire video did you :\ @@shisakani8396
Well, I read it. Just take time to read long posts people, or otherwise do not post to complain. The Kong by the way I think you are referring to Op is Swanky Kong, I almost guarantee it, and when we hear Thunderstruck by AC/DC, during the kart scene, I think that is Funky Kong.
Yes my friend we are on the same page, because I seen him in a game too but I forgot as well lol but he definitely is with the jacket n all but it just sucks nobody else has realized n I been typing a bunch of different ways to figure out who n where I seen him……….. but it for sure is him 💯
The amount of Punch-Out references in this movie made me so happy, gives me some hope that some day we'll at least see a port of the Wii Punch-Out game. Also, worth noting that none of the art shown here is actually from the Wii game; the designs of the characters themselves are based on the Wii game but the art is all entirely new, made specifically for the movie. I'm really sad we didn't get to see these in high quality through some concept art or something, instead we have to comb through low quality blurry camera shots.
I definitely missed a lot of those but I especially liked how specific Aaron made the intro: Kids and Casual Fans. Because if you look even slightly deeper you find so much just straight up wrong (just to mention one, the blue shell doesn't go for the first racer) and contradicting which is bizarre for the same movie that has sooooooooooooo many references and details right.
At 17:54 when mario picks up the fruit, you. can see a pink yoshi look at mario and lick his lips.
You can see it better at 18:06
You did miss a little detail during the toad town scene, in which right before we get to the antiquse store, there's a Toad who's carrying a Cheap-Cheap in a bag, which gives a glare at Mario while a very brief segment of the SMB1 Underwater Theme plays
This video is so detailed! Also at 27:23 there are pickaxes which possibly reference Captain Toad's pickaxe power-ups (the Super Star-like ones)
I missed SOOO many easter eggs . thank u for this video. uve just made the mario movie that much more special for me
my favorite one (not mentioned) is the original mario 64 camera sweep when he first gets to the castle, dutifully recreated as he first sees peach's castle
21:18 proof chunky Kong didn't die
It was Lanky and Tiny who died
@mariajimenafigueroa233 No it's a DK Rap reference
In the scene where Bowser’s minions are partying, near the beginning, a Shy Guy’s mask actually falls off and the others around it jump back in horror or shock
28:17 super Paper Mario's dress with pink accents I think
the amount of work you put in this looking for every detail is crazy. def deserves more likes.
