I agree with the pacing complaints. They could’ve spent more time on character development and world-building tbh. Considering Universal/Nintendo have already hinted at making more movies together, I don’t know why they chose to cram so much into the first one. They didn’t leave many options for a sequel. 

There’s so much they can do, they can do a Luigi’s mansion spin off, explore yoshi world in the sequel, have a wario/waluigi third film about their rivalry, there’s plenty of stories to tell and the fans will FLOCK to the cinema

we need Yoshi, Super Smash Bros Brawl kinda movie, and Super Mario Galaxy movie next

 

yaass

[Dula Peep]

Mario is the new Mouse 

[Ricanaire]

I wish we saw more of Yoshi's Island. It looked so cute!

[znake]

The seriously need to focus in:

 

2025  Mario 2: Yoshi Island 

2026. Mario 3 : Galaxy 

2028  Mario 4 : 3D World + Bowser fury with all characters on screen 

2029 Mario 5 : from new Mario 3D game coming to Switch sucessor

They also have plenty of spinoff opportunities with Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, Rosalina etc.

A CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE! 7/10 - Plot could do a lot of work and hopefully in the sequel they go all out; the references, Chris Pratt NOT being annoying, the use of the Super Mario Bros Super Show Rap and DK Rap, Charlie Day and Jack Black's voice acting SLAYING, Anya slaying as Peach, PEACHES! It was a great movie and I enjoyed it  

 

Hoping Daisy's in the sequel, she's so underused by Nintendo

The way I could see already a spin off for Luigi, DK, Toad, Peach; just wow it was about damn time.

The movie was great. The only issues were the dialogue and some of the pacing but other than that, it was excellent. 

And why wouldn’t we want another film? There are still so many untapped characters and Nintendo has so many franchises that could make excellent films (Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem, etc.) and then they could culminate in a Smash Bros. film. 

What you’re doing is called “projecting,” sis.  

A Nintendo cinematic universe would be amazing if done right. I wonder how Pokemon would fit in though.

Now that Jack Black's random "Pedro Pascal for Wario" campaign has gone viral & even reported on by the trades - it'll be awkward if it's someone else.

Now all we need is a sequel annoncement!

[Boysdontcry]

I’m so glad they finally did a Mario film (yes I know there was technically one from like 1990 or whenever).

 

I just really can’t believe Nintendo never tried to profit off of their franchises in this way until now ???

 

I think the Pokémon tv show is the only thing they’ve really pushed. And that had movies which got theatrical releases in Japan. I’m not sure about the US, but in the UK they were not released in cinemas. 
 

There’s so much more that can be done. I think Pokémon needs a proper theatrical movie too (I don’t count Detective Pikachu, that did not feel like Pokémon). 

[Boysdontcry]

Anyway, I loved this film. 
 

Yes the pace was a bit too quick. And it lacked some character development. But overall it was enjoyable and I’d probably watch it again.
