The training montage was for every single gamer that spent so many hours playing the same level over and over again, and finally beating it.
But he never beat it😂
@@ethenstokes7608 well Mario beat bowser so i think he can beat the course now.
"Yeah, I got it first try, but I grew up here."
I've had pretty much this exact interaction with my roommate when I got him to try Super Mario World.
@@zeldatroid1240for me that feeling was with my lil sis with DKC on my SNES…
I grew up with playing with my mom back then; I had it shelved and cleaning I found it and it still worked perfectly so I went on to play with my lil sis; just as that🤷🏾♂️😂
@@rhodarodriguez6256Yeah that scene where him and fire DK run through the mushroom kingdom, he uses all his parkour moves like triple jump or ground pound, so he can definitely best it now... Also he was fighting koopas at the same time
I know people are talking about how all the "Easter Eggs" and stuff are only there to appeal to fans, but it's great to see somebody who has never played the games before seeing all these elements for the first time and still being awed by it. It just goes to show that the "Easter Eggs" aren't just fanservice, but worldbuilding to bring everyone into this immersive world.
(NOTE: I typed this all like 15 seconds into the actual reaction, but just how it starts, everything is just perfect to bring anybody into this world).
Sophie needs like a let’s play channel of her playing a Mario game. I think that would be fun haha
👀
@@SophieLents I'd watch it
@@SophieLents
I'd subscribe.
@@SophieLents we'd all watch. Especially with over 200 games to choose from.
@@SophieLents Hey Sophie Lents. How you doing? I love Super Mario Bros Movie so much. I like Mario cause he always been my favorite character. I had question to you Sophie. Who's your favorite Super Mario character?
34:20 “YOSHI!” I love Yoshi! Yoshi is basically gonna be in the sequel!
Sophie calling Donkey Kong Wreck-it-Ralph when that's precisely who Ralph was based off of 😂 It's actually really awesome you went into this absolutely blind! It really grounds your opinion, plus it's hilarious you remain stoic when the studio is trying to "wink" at the audience.
Also, you mention it a lot but I'd love to see you react to The Lord of the Rings! Even if you've already seen it before, I just appreciate your live-action reviews 🖤
And Fix-It Felix is based off of Mario.
That's why he's wearing a Wrecking Crew uniform.
Y'know, both Seth Rogen and John C Reilly sound similar to one another.
Sophie with the sonic movie: pain
Sophie with the Mario movie: wondrous joy and love for it
Odd, right? Lol
Jack Black playing the piano as Bowser is hillarious. :D
Pure gold
I can't get that song out of my head since then...🤣
The Super Mario Bros Movie is definitely the best video game film adaptation that we’ve gotten so far! I’ve been a Mario fan since I was a kid, and this was a great love letter to the franchise. Chris Pratt did a really great job voicing Mario! I was skeptical at first, but he really proved us wrong! I also loved all of the easter eggs and references scattered throughout the film! And of course, Jack Black as Bowser was the perfect casting, just like his role for Po in the Kung Fu Panda franchise! The film became the second highest grossing animated film domestically ($568 million at the moment), behind Incredibles 2 ($608 million), and made over $1.3 billion worldwide, and it absolutely deserved it! Seeing how Universal and Illumination are looking to create more movies based on Nintendo games thanks to the film's massive success, that’s got me excited to see what the future will look for these movies! Thanks as always for the reaction, Sophie!
Yes! I agree!
☺
And to think the directors were the creators of Teen Titans Go and they were gonna fumble the bag
And the sequel is in development.
With the Sonic Movies in second place.😉👍🏻
Hey Sophie. I am going to start by giving a brief history of this franchise. In 1980 Shigeru Miyamoto at age 29 was working in the warehouse of Nintendo repainting a bunch of arcade cabinets for a game known as RadarScope. Nintendo was interested in trying to solve this dilemma of this game that was not pushing units to arcades in the US so they opened it up to a bunch of people within the company and Miyamoto came up with a narrative story idea based off of Popeye. Because they couldn't necessarily use Popeye Miyamoto created characters that Nintendo would own these being Mr. Video AKA Jumpman(later named Mario) Lady who would later be renamed to Pauline and Donkey Kong. After doing a slight redesign on Jumpman the landlord of the property in New Jersey where they were renting from was demanding his rent, a man by the name of Mario Segale. With the supervision of Gunpei Yokoi they managed to stuff the motherboards of this new game with an ape into the existing guts of the RadarScope cabinets and released it to the American Market in 1981. The following year after explosively growing Nintendo released a sequel known as Donkey Kong jr. As the video game console Market cratered in the US and Canada in 1983 a third game with in the series was released known as Mario Brothers where Mario and his twin brother Luigi were trying to clean out the New York sewers. This is also around the time that another arcade game was released known as Wrecking Crew meanwhile while this is going on in North America Japan is busy with the release of the Home console version of the family computer from Nintendo. Meanwhile Miyamoto has been tasked with creating a game for said console one that is supposed to be the Pinnacle of 8-bit technology which will eventually be released in 1985 with the North American release of the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game in question was Super Mario Brothers there was a sequel released within nine months of the first game hitting the North American markets as well as another game that had been produced by Miyamoto for a niche Japanese art festival run by Fuji Television which would eventually be retooled for the North American release of the Super Mario Brothers franchise sequel and then the third game which was released to critical acclaim as they managed to pack absolutely everything they could into the third game. Fast forward to the year 1991 and Nintendo starts sniffing around for a film adaptation of the Mario Brothers when does end up being produced which doesn't really reflect the nature of the games and the experience was so sour that Nintendo refuse to license their properties out for 30 years. Which brings us to the ramp-up for this film where a lot of die-hard Nintendo fans who had grown up with the voice of Mario being one Charles Martinet since around the year 1995 were concerned with a big-name celebrities such as Pratt being cast. Despite the fact that in early adaptations such as the Super Mario Brothers Super Show Mario himself was less a walking stereotype and more a traditional New York Italian. Something that had been retconned from the first game up to the release of Yoshi's Island in 1995 since then. Some groups are upset at the choice of having Princess Toadstool now known as Princess Peach not be a damsel, something that she wasn't in the North American release of the second game. And then the critics panned the film despite the fact that the target audience of this film is Gamers and those who don't know about Mario which would be why in this film has over a 90% rating from audience reactions. Just off the top of my head they show standard and winged Koopa Troopas, Goombas, Piranha plants, bullet bill, bob-ombs, banzai Bill(Bowser calls it a bomber bill) spinies, the moray eel(from Mario 64), King Boo, King Bobomb, dry bones, sledge Bros, sniffits and shy guys. They refrenced Starfox, Ice Climbers, Duck Hunt, Game and Watch, Donkey Kong, Punch Out, Mario Bros, Wrecking Crew, Smb 1-3, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, New Super Mario Bros, Mario Maker, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury. Basically it is an over 40 year love letter to Nintendo. That star moment had EVERY gamer I know hum starman. I was so blown away by this version. We waited 30 years to get a film of THIS caliber(after the flawed first attempt).
U call this brief 😭
U have may too much time bro
@@youngbeauty6591 given that 1 Nintendo started as a card company in the 1800s. And 2 that we're talking over 40 years of history and 200 games not including Spinoffs, that revived a dead market, created the multi BILLION dollar industry we see today and became a staple of shared childhood for millions of people... yeah. That was brief
@@nilso3196 no I've just been a gamer for over 30 years
@@bemasaberwyn55 just proves it even more 😂
An explanation for the blue Luma, in case anyone forgets:
When Lumas die, they explode and turn into planets and galaxies.
That Lumas not suicidal, its ready to be reborn!
Damnit, why didn't I remember that 😖
@@midnightheart5905 I’ve played through Super Mario Galaxy multiple times and yeah, definitely feel the same way.
So, if Bowser actually killed that Luma, his entire castle would've been destroyed. Like, the whole entire thing.
@@AvalynTheAccursed nope. That particular Luma is a Lumalee. At most it turns into a 1-Up or a Life Shroom.
Then it really needs to shut up and get to birthing!
🙄
Yes, the star is officially called "The Invincibility Star" in the original games. That's why everyone was so worried that Bowser had it, because he would be unstoppable.
For like, 10 seconds. Then he goes back to normal. Idk why they were so concerned. Those stars always frustrated me.
@@morningrosie3684Well when Mario and Luigi got it they were not only invincible but also much stronger and faster than normal. If Bowser (who was already able to destroy a castle with his breath alone,) used that star he might have had the power to destroy most if not all of the Mushroom Kingdom during that short timeframe.
erm erm akshually 🤓 its called the Super Star / Starman
@@Dilopho Alright, I had to look it up, because I just KNEW you were wrong . . . nope, you were right. It was definitely called Super Star back in '85. I think my friends and I called it the Invincibility Star, and legit thought that was its name.
@@charlesmartinjr3971 it'd be a bit of a mouthful of a name
The Mario Brothers aren't just brothers, they're twins with twin telepathy!
Actually, Mario and Luigi's mom was the only one being supportive of her boys (I think their aunt, too, since she smacked her husband on the head lol).
Aunt Marie is her name.
I didn’t think that was important 😂
To be fair though, I don't think the dad's point about giving up a steady job for some dream was necessarily wrong. He was just trying to be realistic by pointing out how they were taking a huge risk they really didn't need to be taking. The problem though was how he said it without any tact whatsoever. Making him come off more as simply not believing in his son, when I don't feel that was the case.
This was so fun !! A long time Mario Bros fan this brought me so much joy seeing my childhood game come to life.
I love this film so much. Just pure, unadulterated fun. It's got amazing animation, awesome references, colorful action and great music and humor. In addition to Jack Black's incredible performance and banger song, "Peaches". Seriously, every role that man touches turns to gold, and that song will live rent free in my head forever.
Hey man, I love how you love the movie, and I equally share the same sentiments. But you copy-pasting this response is making you sound like a Bot at this point. I literally almost know this reply word from word now 😂
But all that aside, I loved this movie too. It has been living in my head rent free for a month now.
Great reaction! Nintendo worked with Universal and Illumination to not just make a film for Mario fans, but to introduce non fans to these characters.
So Mario starts off in this movie hating mushrooms, the same way Popeye in his movie hated spinach at the start. And the fact that Mario was originally supposed to be Popeye.
Coincidence?? *I THINK NOT.*
As in the Robin Williams film? Or was there another Popeye movie of which I'm unaware. Because I don't remember that as a plot point. But I also only ever saw it once, and that was probably close to 20 years ago now.
*Mario Bros. Facts for Sophie Lents*
2:51-3:00
The Koopa Army. They're a category of turtle-like creatures, most of which form the Turtle Tribe or Koopa clan. There are many different types of Koopas, the most common being Koopa Troopas. Most Koopas operate in a hierarchy-based grouping system.
3:16
Many penguins don't just live in the cold but also inhabit tropical areas, as seen in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Most of them do not hurt Mario, though they sometimes act as obstacles or hindrances to his quest. Friendly penguins often speak with Mario, sometimes asking for his help or offering him a service.
4:11
Yes you can collect stars in the games. They make you unstoppable
5:26
That dude is Charles Martinet, the original voice of Mario and Luigi. His character cameo is based off Mario's original design
5:47-5:55
'Spiteful little' Spike is the foreman of the demolition site where Mario and Luigi work in Wrecking Crew. He continuously tries to hinder the brothers' progress
9:52-9:55
That news reporter is Pauline, the damsel-in-distress before Peach that Mario used to save since his debut game
12:23-12:48
Dry Bones are skeletal versions of Koopa Troopas that are mainly found in towers, castles, and deserts. They often collapse when attacked, but they soon revive themselves and become normal once again. However, some methods of attack, such as touching them while in an invincible state, can permanently defeat them (18:07 kinda displayed to us how they're born)
12:53
Shy Guys are common enemies in the Super Mario and Yoshi franchises. They are recognizable by their masks, which they wear due to their shyness. They're Yoshi's most common enemies in his own franchise. They are also common in other Super Mario spinoff games, yet are comparatively rare in the mainline platformers (except for Super Mario Bros. 2, where they function as Wart's main troops).
21:25
Lumas are star creatures that first appear in Super Mario Galaxy. Unlike most Stars, they have a raindrop-like shape and come in many colors, with the most common one being yellow. They are much like Power Stars, but they are more circular and have the ability to talk. The Lumas are each very friendly and assist Mario during his quest. Lumas have the ability to transform, from minor planetoids to entire galaxies, and according to Rosalina, some Lumas can even transform into Power Stars.
22:17-22:42 & 26:05-27:26
Basically Mario Kart in a nutshell.
1) The Tracks
-The Rainbow Road (NOT the Centaurworld one) is the last course in every Mario Kart game and the scene where Mario hops from one segment of the road to another directly below, a possible reference to the famous Mario Kart 64 Rainbow Road shortcut.
2) The Karts
- Activate a hang glider when above ground
-Activate a hovering feature when upside-down
3) The Power-Ups
-The banana peel slows down opponents from behind
-The Blue Shell, formerly called the Spiny Shell, is an OP power-up from the Mario Kart games. They flawlessly destroy the 1st place racer, except in this case for plot armour reasons
23:49-24:04
The song that's playing in the background is the famous DK Rap from the Donkey Kong games
25:13
Cat Mario is a form of Mario introduced in Super Mario 3D World which he can transform into by using a Super Bell. This suit is not limited to Mario, and can also be used by Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach, Rosalina, Toadette in Super Mario Maker 2, and Bowser
26:26
Bowser's wedding tuxedo originates from the Odyssey games
27:43
That's a Maw-Ray, a moray eel that first appeared in Super Mario 64. They have mega versions that are strong enough to destroy entire clusters of Brick Blocks, and cannot be defeated by any means, not even with the Super Star power-up
(Those are just a few)
Nice fact list!
@@liamphibia why thank you
There’s no way I have predicted you watching this movie today, I’m getting so lucky😂😂😂
Same!
Same here! This is why I love Sophie's channel because while most reactors reveal what movie reactions are coming next, she keeps the next one as a surprise, which is what makes it exciting!
I was unsure about the voice casting, that they would sound so different from how they sound in the games. But it didn’t really bother me. I actually thought this movie was great. It was so fun and felt very true to the characters from the games.
Seth Rogen's Donkey Kong and Fred Armisen's Cranky Kong we're the only ones that didn't seem to work imo.
The obstacle course was foreshadowing for everything they encounter on the journey to the Darklands.
I Love this movie❤️❤️❤️I thought it was awesome first time watching it I loved that cooperated everything from the games like Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart 😁 the voice cast is top notch Jack Black as Bowser was amazing he practically made the role his own and I did love Chris Pratt as Mario I thought he did a terrific job plus you would never know it was him first time watching it. Plus the visuals are amazing too. Glad you enjoyed Sophie and excited what you do next 😊😁😄😉😉
Jack black did amazing i didn't know it was him till i looked up the cast and sall he played bowser.
Really Love this movie, Jack Black nailed it with Bowser and Chris Pratt did really great with Mario imo. And the others also did really amazing. Really Love this Movie:)
This was the shocking film of the year so far. I grew up with Mario and was hyped to see it but I never thought it would be this much fun and it is the number box office film domestically and worldwide. I'm just lost for words how this film just broke records just like that. I guess that is what happens when you make movies for the fans: No way home, Top Gun Maverick and now this.
Just like those two movies, nostalgia was a huge factor as Mario has been a popular brand ever since his debut. By the way, nice that you gave Top Gun: Maverick a shout-out (love that movie so much!) because this film was literally the Top Gun: Maverick this year in terms of 2023 box office!
I had to see the full movie before this video. So I decided unexpectedly to go to the cinema. It was worth the shot. Both the movie and the video were perfect
I always like to see the opinions of those who've never played the games. The references get lost on you, yeah, but you were still able to enjoy the film because it's that good. It's a solid 9/10 for sure.
I love how you react to movies, it's funny
more than others who react
5:25 Too much-a? It’s a perfect! Wha hoo!!
That was Charles Martinet.
"Okay, I'm gonna trust ya!"
This movie, from start to finish, was amazing! The soundtrack is phenomenal and I love the animation so much.
Fun fact: The plot was originally based on the Super Mario Adventures Comic, where Peach and Luigi swapped roles.
I think that's just a rumour, mate.
22:44
"That would be a cool ride in Disney World or something."
Sophie, may I present to you Universal Studios Super Nintendo World!
Mario’s dad: “everyone loves mushrooms right?”
Sophie: *”no”*
Jack black playing the piano as bowser is hilarious
16:35
"Okay the song choices for this movie are incredible, It just fits the vibe perfectly!"
Um kinda? I mean Mario is an '80s character which is why there are 80s pop songs, but they honestly weren't really necessary.
You’ll see how easily Luigi gets scared by someone or something.
You don't see the title card until the end, to signify the game has officially started.
I remember the first time watching that scene where Toad used the frying pan for the first time. I was like, "They almost made a reference to Tangled!" Frying Pan! Get your frying pan here!
5:09 at least Sophie acknowledges that, than every other reactor I've seen, for this movie
“Yeah? Well… YOUR DAD’S RIGHT!”
I adored this movie when I first saw it. I knew just enough about the various games to get just enough of the references, which definitely helped. It hit that classic Pixar-like balance of working as a kids movie without alienating(or nauseating) the grown-up audience. And most importantly, it was exactly the kind of movie I was hoping for from this franchise. They didn't try to reimagine things too much, or "subvert expectations" or any other pretentious stuff. They just made a really fun action-adventure movie within the world of these games. I for one would be delighted if they made a sequel.
The power star makes you invincible for a while
The Mom was supportive the entire time. Their Dad was the iffy one.
I need a Sophie's full reaction tu Peaches, I need it 😂❤
Just what I wanted to see, someone that knows pretty much nothing about the Mario universe reacting to this movie :D
You’re welcome 😂
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is one of the best movies I have seen in a while.
Lol I just arrived home after watching it in the theater 😂🤯 what are the odds 😂❤
Nintendo went so hard to drive home the point how much the Mario Brothers love each other.
Literally every scene they have together shows it.
They did so to shut up everyone that keep claiming Mario hates Luigi.
Literally every argument they could possibly make gets smashed to pieces in this movie.
"They come from a broken family." Nope! They come from a big loving family.
"Luigi resents Mario and would turn on him in a second." Nope! Even in Bowser’s clutches, he cant stop singing his praises.
"But not as kids. No siblings are close as kids!" Nope! They were close as BABIES!
"Luigi's a little scaredy cat! You cant rely on him for anything!" Nope. Mario knew otherwise from day one. THAT'S why he pulled Luigi with him to grab the power star.
❤
Luigi is a scaredy-cat, but when push comes to shove, he’s damn loyal.
Haven't I seen you in the other comment sections of other Mario Movie Reactions?
I loved the songtrack as well 😍😍 was vibing so hard to take on me 😂
A underrated gem of a movie that I recommend is Fight club, but we're not supposed to talk about it
Underrated? Fight Club?? Underrated??? 🤣
@@gwivongalois6169 that's the joke, like when you say a small local band and then say a huge well known band like no one has ever heard of them
@@insanity909 In my times, jokes had to be funny! *old man yells at clouds* 👴
@@gwivongalois6169 Stop shoutin I'm nappin
I love this movie so much, it's all of the references of every Mario game, references towards other Nintendo games and every sounds and musica que.
Fun Fact: The guy at 5:25 was voiced by the OG Mario himself, Charles Martinet. He also played Mario and Luigi's father
The reaction gave me LIIIIFEEE!!! 😂😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
19:52 Sophie Lents I gotta agree with you, your right he's also my favorite Nintendo Mario character, even in the movie & I have him as my pfp (Profile Picture)
"What's the point of having such a road?" It makes for a great video game level.
This truly shows that if you don't know anything about Super Mario you can still enjoy this movie. 🥰🤓
We need a Zelda movie next.
They're going to need to make Link ultra expressive if they keep him silent and have a character or two who basically act as his voice, like Navi or Zelda, depending on the time period.
They start with action scenes because they need to glab that attention, need to GLAB IT
Your setup looks better since your Ice Age 5 movie. Great job!
Mario lore, Vilain be horny, Princess be pretty, Hero saves kidnapped princess from horny Vilain by stomping enemies and eating shrooms. End of lore..
And became a "super star".
Holding out for a Hero is originally from 1984's Footloose
8:11 "Is this like John Wick's dog?"
Of course not. This dog is moving.
I’m so glad you watched this
This is my favorite movie
The manhole cover is melting and about to give way, so he knows he's running out of time, and what does Luigi do?
HE LOOKS BACK TO SEE IF MARIO’S RUNNING FOR THE STAR, KNOWING HE'S ABOUT TO DIE!
Jack black aying the piano as bowser is hilarious
Thanks for the video Sophie! :)
Morticia Addams watches accidentally a movie with colours. Interesting reaction.
4:14 This is a remake of the song from the old TV show, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, which mixed animation and live action.
The soundtrack is good for the most part, but it could've had a bit more video game songs instead of licensed songs. Also, the usage of I Need a Hero peaked in Shrek 2.
there was more original mario music than licenced music bro, only 4 songs are licenced ones in all the movie, the rest are from mario
Nah, the original version of I Need a Hero is way better then the one Shrek 2 used.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this reaction! I love this movie! 😄
8:10 Well... I can say for certain it is not John Wick's dog
Please make a video of you playing Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart!
specially here in brazil. they nailed the voice of mario here.
I love you. I am the first person who liked. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This sounds...kinda...sus
touch grass virgin nerd . spent less on youtube
Okay, so about that very last scene: Remember the scene during the travel montage where there's a bunch of little, multicolored dinosaurs running in the background? THOSE are Yoshis.
movie of the year! super mario bros were great :))
I loved all the Mario and Peach scenes with them
Yeah! Thank you, sophie!
21:38 I am usually "that friend", with my boyz haha
Haha the Superstars were rare in the games (though not as rare as this film suggests), and made you invincible, BUT it wore off quickly. One highlight is if you did find one, you tear through the game as fast as possible and make the most of it. Non-gamers wouldn't know it, but i'm sure the reason Bowser held off using it is once it wears off, it's gone, so you don't want to waste it.
"Never played the game." Super Mario is more than one game, it's a whole franchise. Mario Kart is the classic.
PEACHES, PEACHES, PEACH!!!!!!!!!
Tbh Sophie, you look like one of my favorite TH-camrs
I saw the movie in theatres. It was fun
Thanks for being SO honest ando Open. I really enjoy your comments 🥰
Thank you!
12:13: Luigi is also lucky that he didn't burn alive in the lava.
Now i wanna watch you play the first Mario Bros, and then games onwards
Yes you gotta enjoy the Mario movie including peaches song was Soo good 🥲🥲🥲
It's actually really rare to know someone who never played any Mario game or at least watched someone play a Mario game...
Yeah…. But we exist
I'm surprised you never talked about how incredible the soundtrack was. (The ACTUAL soundtrack not the pop songs)
You need to see the Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves film. It was an excellent surprise. Way better than most people expected.
This is the first reaction video of yours I've watched 😂 your reactions are legit af
I was hoping for Yoshi the whole movie so whew seen I saw the egg I was like "oh come on!".
This movie was a love letter to me and others in the Nintendo generation......
I Like That Movie 🍿🍿🍿
First off it's pengwings 🤣 not penguin's only Benedict Cumberbatch can make the name sound so funny. But yes these movie was better than I thought it would be I was worried it would end up like Sonic the hedgehog movie at least this movie follows the game and tv show
@22:44 “That’d be a cool ride in Disney World or something”
Would you settle for Universal Studios?!! 😏
Sophie:wrecked wralph?is that you?
"when mario is on mushrooms your in trouble" ☠️
My 4th favorite movie
They didn't cause the big leak in Brooklyn 😂 Just flooded the customer's apartment.
I love your reaction to super Mario bros movie Sophie❤ I love Mario and luigi But my favorite character is Donkey Kong🦍
