[One Twitter account](https://twitter.com/IronPineapple_/status/1578116881835229186) posited that since we’re hearing Chris Pratt’s normal Minnesotan accent, that Pratt himself is somehow turned into Mario, a la Jumanji rules, and now we’re following his adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom in the movie. Hopefully Peach isn’t too preoccupied with being kidnapped in the movie and manages to girlboss her way out of another castle to join Mario in kicking Bowser’s ass. on the Nintendo Entertainment System first whisked him away to the Mushroom Kingdom. movie](https://kotaku.com/nintendo-direct-mario-movie-chris-pratt-trailer-accent-1848509515), of course. You’ve got an entourage of evil minions, pun not intended, in Bowser’s legion of Koopas, and a comically evil lair made in his own image. Upon arriving in the new world, which is commonly a fantasy setting, the main character is thrust into becoming a hero who, under the guidance of a trusty crew of allies, i.e., Toad, must cleanse the world from its imposing and evil overseer: enter Jack Bowser. His dope-as-hell villain entrance was chock full of the ingredients that make for an isekai villain. Hollywood films like Space Jam, Back to the Future, and even the 1993 Super Mario Bros. trailer places the film in that genre. The usual structure of an isekai story revolves around its main character, in this case, Mario, being suddenly teleported into a new world. [the first official trailer for the Super Mario Bros.

It also claimed that the humour wouldn't have fart jokes or dabs and would mostly be meta and referential to the series. Some of the characters that are mentioned in the leak to sing are Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Bowser, which shouldn't be too surprising as all four of the actors playing those characters are skilled singers. Although most of us probably saw the trailer in the Nintendo Direct, it was also shown live at New York Comic Con and was followed up with a special panel talk with Jack Black, who plays Bowser in the movie.

Chris Pratt's voice is still jarring to hear coming out of Mario but everything else in the Mario trailer looked amazing. The way they turned around and looked at me when Chris Pratt's voice piped up is going to be making me laugh for months, if not years— "The way they turned around and looked at me when Chris Pratt's voice piped up is going to be making me laugh for months, if not years." The official teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. 🍄 After playing the games for years as a kid (and adult) I'm excited to bring Mario to all of you! followed by, "Mushroom Kingdom, here we come," but it was enough to prompt confusion among viewers online.

Mario doesn't sound like Mario in the new movie teaser trailer. Nintendo/Illumination. The much-anticipated teaser trailer for the Super Mario Bros.

It does still sound like Chris Pratt, but I heard a hint of Mario in there, too." Someone noted in the YouTube comments of that video that Martinet has "Robin Williams energy," and that's exactly what Mario needs. It's understandable he wasn't going to use the "It's-a me, Mario" exaggerated Italian stereotype voice that's so associated with Mario, but could he do something different?

Tara Strong says "it should be Charles" as Chris Pratt debuts his Mario voice.

"I have NO ILL FEELINGS [for] the actresses in the new Powerpuff Girl," Strong wrote at the time. Strong then went on to call on her followers to share images they have taken with Martinet over the years. "I feel very, very connected to Harley," Strong said. In a follow-up Tweet, Strong says that voice actors "help sell billions in merch" and "make the studios millions of dollars," only to get replaced with celebrities when it comes to more mainstream adaptations such as the Super Mario Bros. Taking to Twitter as soon as the trailer went live, Strong shared a picture of herself with Martinet. "It should have been Charles," she wrote, with many in the replies sharing her sentiment.

Hi everyone, it's Austin pitching in this week from Boston. The world is freaking out about the new trailer for the upcoming Mario movie, but first…

To be fair, the only examples of Mario's movie voice we have thus far are the two lines Pratt delivers in the trailer. Judging Pratt's entire Mario performance ...

Even young children can pick up on this characterization: After calling Chris Pratt's take on Mario "weird," my daughter proceeded to do her best imitation of what Mario is supposed to sound like in the form of a 30-second montage of Martinet-inflected "Woohoos" and "It's-a-me's." [Pratt told Variety](https://variety.com/2022/film/columns/chris-pratt-super-mario-bros-voice-jurassic-world-dominion-1235301622/) that Mario's voice in the movie would be "updated and unlike anything you've heard in the Mario World." Martinet's Mario voice is tuned for maximum impact during the kind of short, high-energy sound bites that get repeated hundreds of times during a game. While Martinet might be able to moderate his delivery for a new medium, I'm not sure it's necessarily the best idea for him to try. Pratt's second line in the trailer—"Mushroom Kingdom, here we come." To be fair, the only examples of Mario's movie voice we have thus far are the two lines Pratt delivers in the trailer.

Before Thursday's trailer, the scope of the film remained a mystery, and its confounding casting choices (Keegan-Michael Key as Toad?!) kept longtime fans ...

The Mario movie is an isekai, a Japanese genre of storytelling in which the protagonist is magically teleported from their home to another, unfamiliar environment. Princess Peach is the archetype of the damsel in distress. In the movie, will Mario be able to gain new chances at life by collecting coins? The most jarring aspect of the Mario film is hearing Mario speak intelligible, complete sentences. In the case of the Galaxy series, it was tied to Mario’s health. Martinet is still reportedly voicing characters in the film, in what Nintendo has described as a “surprise” role. In the origin story written by Nintendo, and conveyed in “Yoshi’s Island,” we never witness the birth and parentage of Mario and Luigi. Penguins in Mario games have been a recurring presence since 1996′s “Super Mario 64,” where a level named Cool, Cool Mountain introduced us to penguins who love to race by sliding down the mountain. This leads us to further questions about the scope of the Mushroom Kingdom. After 40 years, this remains the biggest question at the roots of the Mario bros’ history. Before Thursday’s trailer, the scope of the film remained a mystery, and its confounding casting choices (Keegan-Michael Key as Toad?!) kept longtime fans wondering: “Just what the heck kind of movie is this going to be?” In “Super Mario Odyssey,” there’s a shadow version of New York City called New Donk City.

After months of waiting, Nintendo fans were finally treated to the first look at the animated “Super Mario Bros.” movie from Illumination, the animation ...

Outside of Mario there are countless other Nintendo franchises that could use movies: “The Legend of Zelda,” “Kirby,” “Metroid,” “ Star Fox” and many more. It doesn’t need to be long, but “Super Mario Bros.” could use a flashback to Mario and Luigi’s younger years and see what led them to become adventurous plumbers. “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” is Nintendo’s bestselling game of all time (bar “Wii Sports,” which came bundled with the console), so it would only make sense to rev up some engines in the “Super Mario Bros.” movie. Love them or hate them, water levels are as essential to the “Mario” games as his red hat. When DK does appear, he better throw barrels at Mario at some point, alluding to Mario’s first appearance in the “Donkey Kong” arcade game. Mario’s green companion first appeared in 1990’s “Super Mario World” and has since played a key role in games such as “Super Mario 64,” “Sunshine” and “Galaxy 2.” Of course, Yoshi also hatched his own franchise of quirky video games. We know that “Super Mario Bros.” will feature the obvious Mushroom Kingdom squad — Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser and Toad — alongside Donkey Kong, Cranky Kong, Kamek and Spike. Throughout the “Mario” franchise, Nintendo has introduced some creative companions to assist the mustachioed hero on his journey. The mini villain has been a thorn in Mario’s side in many games, and the combination of him and his much bigger dad could be a formidable threat to the Mushroom Kingdom. The “Mario” video games have countless characters, worlds and power-ups to pull into the movie, so what other Easter Eggs could be hiding in the animated film? Power-ups are vital to every “Mario” game, allowing the plumber to grow, shrink, fly or throw fireballs with the help of some magic items. Since the trailer shows Mario reaching for a mushroom, before Toad scares the life out of him, it’s not hard to imagine the Italian plumber eating some for super-sized strength.

A dub of the Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer has replaced Pratt's lines with more familiar-sounding dialogue.

Within seconds, we hear Mario mumble “mamma mia,” make his rubbery, pig-man Mario noises of pain and confusion, and, in one dub that fully justifies the real movie’s decision not to have Pratt do a funny voice, gaze around the Mushroom Kingdom and ask, “What is-a this-a place-a?” [posting on Reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/xxls7u/im_a_voice_actor_i_edited_the_super_mario_bros/) as “fuckmattdamon,” released [his cut of the Mario trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbLi0QYOycs) yesterday evening, only a few hours after the original was made available for the first time.
