Another very quick reference is that the piano Bowser is playing on has the name "Ludwig Von Koopa" printed on it, a nod to at least one of the Koopalings
Makes sense too cause Ludwig is the Classical one being based off Ludwig von Beevthoven.
He’s my favorite one!
@@heatwave2.0 same
During the final fight with Bowser, Mario and Luigi hit him with an essentially frame-for-frame Mario forward aerial from Smash Bros.
Looked more like a bros attack
Yeah, indeed it was!!
4:06 I agree, the Bowser's Fury theme showing up surprised me so much and I really loved the use of it
Bowser in the movie remind me to Bowser of Super Mario RPG, so sentimental, funny and rude at the same time 😊
I said the same thing !!
Also when peach says Luigi is so brave reminds me of every Mario and Luigi rpg interaction with her
@@bunnyhoodmedia8385 They were very spot in with the characters personalities. The luma annihilated me 😂
@@philgoodx7 I really like Luma personality. Trolling and goofying around when they're about to die 😆
He reminded me of Jack Black tbh
Another big Easter egg I noticed was when Mario & Donkey Kong take off through the mushroom kingdom, Mario is seen doing his P-Speed movement when he runs, he holds out his arms behind him.
Good catch! You can also his the P-Wing sound itself when he first starts running in the castle, when he's trying to find Peach
@@GameXplain i think i saw that as well!
So true.
When the Bros. fall off of the water pipe trying to get to the pressure valve, the hole they break in the wall is shaped like 8-bit small Mario’s head from Super Mario Bros.
He actually does this anytime he's moving at full speed in the movie. And if memory serves both brothers do the run in the climax
Also, the book the woman homeowner is reading while Mario & Luigi fix the bathroom. It says “GALAXY”.
That is a great thumbnail, if we do say so ourselves!
I really enjoyed the movie, the easter eggs were awesome and the cast did a good job ❤
I just got a Mario movie ad
Agreed
@@otakumarcus Nice
Bowser marrying Peach was also the plot of the Nintendo Power Mario Comic.
Mario and Luigi using the Super Star with that incredible score from Brian Tyler was one of my favorite scenes in the entire movie :)
What about Daisy? Her flower emblem is on a bus stop sign, and perhaps on the crate (not 100% sure) in the Mushroom Kingdom on the way to Peach.
It was hard to see that easter eggs
There's no confirmation from the board whether or not Daisy 🧡 would show up in the sequel
Even Rosalina 💙 the Cosmic Princess
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 The point is that Daisy has an easter egg cameo, which implies that she does exist in the universe and could appear in a sequel. Why else would they bother with such a small detail or include a pointless Luma (for Rosalina)?
In terms of Odyssey, Bowser also has the piranha plant flower bouquet that we see at the end of the game. Also, when Mario arrives at Toad Town for the first time, I believe there’s a sign with a gold flower from NSMB2 visible :)
You also forgot these ones:
-The P-Switch theme from NSMB is heard when Mario is trying to figure out pipes for the first time
-Mario, Peach and Toad pass through Sparkling Waters on the famous Cheep Cheep Scene.
-There's a reference to Sidesteppers on the scene where Pauline appears, it's said on the news report.
-On the credits the Bowser Laugh from Mario 64 is used
-The map that Cranky has on DK's house is completely modeled after the world map in Super Mario World
-Luigi has stripped socks even if it's not really seen much (They can be seen on trailers on the scene where they're traveling through the pipe first)
Also the first 5 seconds of Luigi's mansion theme plays when he gets his shirt caught in the branch in the dark woods
There's also a smash 4 reference when mario eats the mushroom for the first as a jingle from the main theme plays
one of my favorite but very obscure Easter eggs in the movie, is how they referenced a 16 year old UA-cam video. felt like i was one of the few to recognize that
What 16 year old UA-cam video
@@billblaski9523 uploaded a video on my channel showing it
Lol I think u might be reaching there buddy. It's just the Underground Level theme played on a piano. That 16 year old video isn't the only one that plays that theme on a piano
@@billblaski9523 sigh, i'm not referring to the underground theme, it's the coin and level up sounds he's playing at these exact moments. look at the most recent comments of the video i linked in the description
what are you talking about?
I heard at one point when the Luma is swirling around in its cage it makes one of the voice sound effects from the Lumas directly from Galaxy.
The house Mario and Luigi go to to fix the plumbing issues, when Francis jumps out the window and there's the clip of the bros saving him, the husband is reading a book titled 'Galaxy' with a Mario Galaxy planet on the cover!
The luma was underated funny they need bring him back in the sequel
It's "Lumanee" that little blue star from "Super Mario Galaxy" Rosalina 💙 the Princess Rosalina is in charge of them
Hopefully she will show up
The ornaments of the Elevator when they head to the obstacle course are very similar to the crown that Peachette uses as well 🤔
Nintendo and Illumination really put a lot of references to the games in the movie
Bowser's Fury theme is now popular But....2 Years and it's popular
Noooo... really?
@@AlanTGP1 Yeah
The rainbow road wasn’t just a reference to rainbow road from Mario kart. In NSMBU there’s a secret path in the water world that has Mario running over a rainbow. The reason why I think this is being referenced is because in the movie they referred to rainbow road as a secret path
Oh, that’s right!!!
I absolutely loved this movie and I don’t know what the actual freak heck the critics were watching to give it such a low rating when it deserved so much more points than they gave it (also seeing girl boss peach was an awesome change and this version is probably the hottest version of her)
The Mini Bowser reference I Knew that Because when I Saw the Movie I Said: "Super Mario Galaxy 2 Mini Bowser Reference"
A lot of the Critics didn’t understand nor have ever played any Mario games to understand . Like literally I saw one critic say they thought cat Mario was a appreciation to furrys
Ignore critics. People don't know how to watch movies and have fun anymore.
Mario Galaxy 2 reference:
At the punch-out diner, I noticed Yoshi’s spicy pepper on the hot sauce bottle at Spike’s table.
Kinda sad Galaxy 2 didnt get much attention. Nintendo even ignored it on release of their 3d all stars game
Im so hyped I'll going watching this movie next week's Weekend with family and friends yayy. 🔥🔥
I’m watching it today wish me luck
@@Noahmediacorner luck and your profile pic IS cool, Super Mario Galaxy 2 IS My favourite Mario game
@@Leopez02 it's a must see film Leo, hope you see all those easter eggs when you go and see it 👍🏻
@@JacStudios642 yeah IT IS and of Corse i try find every easter eggs
Glorious film, mate! Enjoy it
One thing I haven't heard people mention as much, is that the Cappy spin sound plays when Mario spins his wrench. Might not be exactly the same, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
When Toad is giving Mario a tour of the Mushroom Kingdom and the various Toads are collecting coins, the song in the background is from Toad's House in Super Mario Bros 3.
The music that plays when the Toads are getting coins from the blocks (like their own ATM’s lol) is the music that plays when you visit Toad houses in Super Mario Bros. 3
When Bowser is singing "Peaches" he is on what appears to be (or at least looks similar too) the bowser arena(s) from SM64.
Sunshine has another reference. I believe it was next to Punch-Out Pizzaria was "Sunshine Travel Agency" or something like that. Considering Sunshine took place on a vacation island, having a travel agency reference it was appropriate.
Seeing all the new and old stuff throughout Mario’s history all together in this movie was so cool!
A very quick reference I saw was when mario flies off his Kart toward the end and lands on another, he VERY briefly hangs off the back of another kart and rides off the back like Double Dash.
I love how even in tiny moments they’ll pack another game right in 😊
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. After Mario eats the blue mushroom during his fight with Donkey Kong, Mario shrinks and initially walks away from Donkey Kong as though he were a mini or toy soldier.
Not one a lot of people mention, but when Mario first arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom, he walks past an antique shop selling a pipe whistle to a toad, who asks if it works, who is told that it will if you blow on it. This is probably a reference to the Warp Whistle from Mario 3.
I also noticed during the scene in which Mario and luigi are traveling through the pipe together, The pink clouds do remind me of the background of 3D world in which the characters are traveling through the background
I’m about to see this movie today
I am too im so hyped
It is a must watch guys ❤
Nice
Luigi dies 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I watched it a couple of hours ago, its SOO GOOODDDD❤
This really feels like they’re trying to appeal to all generations of Mario fans.
5:36 This is the only one I did not recognize, since I’ve never played NSMBU.
Once the movie becomes available for home viewing, someone is going to make a three hour long video on the references alone.
A few more: when they first leave the pizzeria, it's only for a few seconds but the building to the left of it is the Sunshine Travel Agency, complete with the sunshine font.
Also, the book "The Odyssey" can be seen on Mario's bookshelf.
The customer's house has a few paintings of stage tiles from SMB3
Bowser in the wedding scene he has the same flowers from Mario odyssey
My favorite reference was when the blue shell koopa was like "You can't escape me, blue shell!" and proceeds to hit mario and donkey Kong! That had me in tears
There's another Super Mario Galaxy reference while the Bros. are rescuing the dog from falling out of the window. When it shows the couple on the couch, the husband's reading a book called 'Galaxy'. It's a bit hard to tell but I believe it has the Gateway Galaxy on the cover for it too.
While I'm at it, there's also references to spin offs and other series:
During the Bros.' commercial, you can see them recording in front of GYRO MARKET, with ROB's face.
Mario has an Arwing on top of his TV, a poster of the Polar Bear from Ice Climbers, and I believe a poster of F-Zero too. He also has his racket from the Tennis spin offs, and a generic Baseball poster that could count as a Sluggers reference(?)
Lastly, during the family dinner scene, you can see pictures of Mario & Luigi with their parents, graduating, a portrait of teenaged Mario, and Mario playing soccer.
Good video! So many Easter eggs. I have a feeling that towards the end of the movie when the residents of Brooklyn are cheering on Mario and Luigi, we’re going to have to pause and look at each person’s face for a specific reason…
The luma at the end of the movie made my whole theater laugh. Mane what an awesome movie, got a smile ache because I smiled throughout the whole movie
Bowser's Fury is the most recent mainline Mario title at the time of the movie's release (two years before it came out), so I wasn't expecting it to be referenced at all in the movie. You can imagine my surprise and happiness when I heard the Fury Bowser theme.
I watched it a second time today and no one in the crowd noticed the Arwing easteregg.
We're living in dark times.
The couple with the dog in Brooklyn were reading a magazine with a planet from Mario Galaxy on it.
I saw that too! I haven't seen any other channels talking about that Easter egg yet!
Sunshine not getting any representation made me so upset. Not even a musical reference. They played a medley of all the main Mario themes and then left out Sunshine.
I would say that the ending battle with Mario and Luigi is reminiscent to the Mario and Luigi series. although not a main line title
We need super Mario bros movie 2, the only thing we forgetting is Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Party
ggreat video! 👍
Agreed
I WATCHED THE MOVIE TODAY AND IT WAS SO GOOD
Me too, I really don't understand many of the critics
@@veloxplayer098yeeeah7 They’re just mad, since *they think it’s a kids movie* Bruh THEY FREAKING ARE LAYES MARIO KART 8 MUSIC AND BOWSERS FURY
spoilers.
I saw this movie over the weekend and oh boy is it a masterpiece!
I just saw it today! What a masterpiece. Loved all the references!
One blink and you'll miss it reference to the original Mario Bros. is during the news segment after Mario plays Kid Icarus, the news scroll actually makes mention of crabs in the sewers, referencing the Sidesteppers.
The tanooki suit was the 3D Land suit not the SMB3 suit. It has the brim on the hood. The smb3 tanooki suit doesn't have the brim and it allows mario to turn into a statue. The infinite coin blocks are actually a reference to the infinite coin block in super mario rpg in Bowser's keep near the end of the game.
The final fight scene that takes place in Brooklyn has a shop called 'Disk-Kun' with the Famicom Disk System logo, another billboard advertising playing cards (Nintendo was originally a playing card company)
While Yoshi eggs were mentioned, we actually see a herd of Yoshi’s.
In the final scene where Mario is hiding from bowser inside punch-out pizzeria, peach, DK, & toad start attacking bowser & you can hear bowser actual roar from the game
another deluxe reference, the floating platform that peach uses to get to the training area, it has some pedestals that look like peachette's crown
Cappe is going to be in the sequel I'm calling it right now
I love your videos so much keep up the good work Man
This movie was an amazing movie. Loved this and I hope the second one is amazing.
I noticed how when Donkey Kong was defeated it played a tune that's probably from the original arcade but I recognized it from Mario vs Donkey Kong Mini Land Mayhem
What an amazing movie!!
Though it isn’t strictly a Mario reference, am I the only one who things the clown cars acted almost EXACTLY like the swooping snitchbugs from Pikmin? I’m probably just slowly going insane waiting for a Pikmin 4…
I'm not sure 100% but for new mario bros deluxe, in the scene just before peach takes mario to the training course, there are some decorations that I believe resemble the super crown power up. Also the way mario spins to attack after running in a few scenes, may be a reference to the spin jump in mario world.
It’s all so beautiful!
Let’s-a go
You left out a lot of songs on from your previous Easter Egg video which are the following:
When Mario and DK are getting to Bowser's Castle and defeating his army on their way 2 songs were used, in the start of their rescue played the Overworld theme from the Super Mario Bros for the NES and when Mario was trying to catch the Super Leaf the Athletic theme from Super Mario World was played and when Mario became Tanooki/Racoon Mario the Super Mario Bros 3's Athletic theme was played.
Also there is a quick shot of a Chain Chomp being seen for a couple of seconds when Mario was trying to figure out how to use the Tanooki/Racoon Suit.
Ok. I have a reference you didn't include in this video. In the scene where Mario is alone in his room, when the news comes on, there is a news Ticker that talks about sightings of Crabs in the sewers beneath the city. This is very specifically a reference to the original Mario Bros. where, very famously, crabs are coming out of the pipes, down there.
PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who saw the "Mario And Luigi" series Easter egg. When they defeat bowser and dive to get the final blow in, it's reminiscent of Mario and Luigi dream team when they defeat a full screen boss.
For Super Mario Bros. 2, I do fondly remember a block seen in toad town near one of the clear pipes that resembled the Golden Fire flower power up.
With the seemingly endless visual and musical references in the movie, it's strange there's essentially 0 from Sunshine
Congratulations Super Mario Bro movie 🎬. that very cool 😎
The most important DK related easter egg is the confirmation that Chunky Kong is not dead
There's a little bit of Donkey Kong Country music just before Mario, Peach and Toad enter the Jungle Kingdom. ^^
I think there is a reference to the lost levels/ super Mario 2 (japan), toad tells Mario there is a poisonous mushroom, this game had purple mushrooms that kills you. Also toad with the backpack is not a reference from captain toad, even the main theme song is in there when he appears for the first time.
There is a reference for Luigi’s mansion, when Luigi is walking in the dark forest with the lamp.
Also there are references for smash bros, many of the punches Mario throws are from this game.
From yoshis island is the design of Mario and Luigi as young kids.
There are the go karts from Mario kart.
There is the bad character from wrecking crew at the beginning.
The only games from the main series I was not able to find Easter eggs are from Mario land and Mario land 2.
0:37 as italian hearing "Giuseppe" pronounced like that hurts a lot. It's more like "Joo" for "Giu"...and "sep-pe" idk how to explain it...
I cringed when I heard that also...
Mario and Luigi hugging is a refrence to the mario & luigi series, since they hug in every game atleast once.
Also referencing Mario bros, some of the news headlines on the TVs in Brooklyn mention large crabs in the sewers, a reference to Sidesteppers.
Ok YO at 4:53 what is that music!?!? Ive been searching for that remixed variation of the Nsmb overworld theme for YEARS. Someone PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE SONG IS.
i remember seeing the crazy cap store in the background and freaking out when bowser put on the odyssey suit
And not just that, they also reference nintendo's legacy too, especially when they used to be a card game company at first
BROOKLYN DOESN’T HAVE A MAYOR.
Can't wait till they add new Easter eggs when they'll patch the film
i'm so exited to watch this movie
Anyone else notice spoiler
The rambi icon on the cart when they first enter the jungle kingdom?
The final star man battle with Mario and Luigi vs. Bowser is reference to the Mario and Luigi RPG games when each other their attacks on Bowser resemble the:
“OKAY, GOOD, GREAT, EXCELLENT!!!”
I saw the movie and it was so good and funny at the same time!
I think there is a reference where the baby Mario and Luigi in the movie were made exactly like in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on the Nintendo DS console.
I loved this movie!
Did they ever show or say what happens to the penguins after mario saves luigi during the wedding 💀💀💀💀
I spotted Mario Maker, in the way that Peach made the “ability test course” for Mario, Paper Mario - the paper Bowser, Captain Toad, Diddy Kong racing - the entrance to the Kong Kingdom, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga in the combo attack in the end, Mario and Rabbids - the prospective of the pipes in the way to the castle, Mario RPG in the shops and the Toads in the beginning, Super Princess Peach - the way Princess Peach helps Mario rescuing Luigi
I knew this movie was going to be great because of the Easter eggs.
Super Smash Brothers actually got a refrence! In the last scene with luigi and mario fighting bowser, mario does his forward air spike on bowser in the air! It even sends Bowser STRAIGHT down! Luigi is just copying mario tho I think...
When they played "Mr. Blue Sky" as they cae back to the mushroom kingdom, all I can think about is guardians of the galaxy.
Games not referenced:
-Super Mario Land
-Super Mario Land 2
-NSMB 2
GAWD I LOVE this movie so good, but now that the Mario movie is out I feel it like it's going to have a major influence as to who gets added to MK8DX (my top 5 picks were Kamek, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline, and Petey Piranha) but since King Bob-omb was in the Mario movie I think he'll join the roster instead of Petey, though Petey has his signature track, it hard to regardless but I think Nintendo will prioritize putting King Bob-omb in the game
Now they need to copy the marvel universe, make a Zelda movie, make a metroid movie, make a star fox movie, make a fzero movie, then do the smash bros movie with the multiverse, this movie all would be cameos and Easter eggs.
They also references “Your Princess is in another castle
Yeah, when the two toads stop mario from entering when he saids that he needed to see the princess.
I noticed the melons specifically from Mario Sunshine in one of the Toad shops. It only appears for a brief second.
You forgot the mention the scene when Mario peach and toad travel, one of the places is an ocean like place, the structures in the background are a reference to the nsmbu world sparkling waters. It's the scene when Mario gets a cheep cheep stuck to his face
As soon as I seen the star and they said theirs more galaxy's out there makes me think that the next mario movie they could go into space like he did in mario galaxy I exploded into excitement as soon as I heard that
