Thank you, Charles. Thank you for being my childhood hero.

And whoever is stepping into the hat and overalls now is already knocking it out of the park. The spirit of Mario will live on. Forever.

Well, it's happened. Took a little longer than I thought, but it's happened.

@Darthmoogle If Airship Fortress does make it in at some point, it will be perfect.

Unfortunately, I was only able to see it once. Hopefully it releases digitally sooner rather than later.

@reporterdavid Again, he was at a convention.

@reporterdavid They never said "You know, we have Pratt doing Mario... better step aside. We dont want to have the attention on the original Mario/Luigi". He wasn't there because he was at a convention.

I'm personally hoping for Petey Piranha. He was always one of my top favorites.

Can't go wrong with both. Though I will say the movie does a very good job at translating their designs into a cinematic setting.

Hopefully Diddy Kong and Petey Piranha are in the equation too.

The artwork never fails to impress.

One of the most beautiful posters I've ever seen.
Also, I think that Blue Shell Paratroopa might be this movie's equivalent to Corporal Paraplonk from the Mario & Luigi series.

@Mario500 Can you please stop typing like that?..

I'd personally love to see the Hammer Suit, Frog Suit or even Giga Cat Mario. Giga Cat Mario vs Fury Bowser would be the perfect climax.

@Mario500 You're not making any sense...
Yes. I was referring to Seth Rogen. That should have been obvious. How many other Rogens in this article can you name?

@Mario500 Why are you questioning Seth Rogen's gender?

@Mario500 Yes.

His last name is spelled "Rogen", by the way. With an E.

This toy is going to be revolutionary.

This gives me even more hope that the credits theme from Mario 64 will play at the end. It'd be perfect.

@RushDawg In the 3D games, he can.

@Snowball-BK No. That's not what I meant. Even if I did like it, I wouldn't support any "horrible policies".

@Snowball-BK Not "killed".

I knew it! I knew Bowser Jr. and Birdo would be the next playable characters.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Just leave me alone...

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Oh, now you're doing it on purpose. Classy.
Good riddance.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Look who's talking. For the last time, I'm not mad because people are criticizing the game. It's fine to not like something. But there are plenty of ways to express that you dislike something without turning to snark and sarcasm.

But who am I kidding? I'm just beating a dead horse at this point.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika No, I'm not angry people don't love this game. You're just blowing one thing I said out of proportion. This isn't about "excuses". I have no problem criticizing something, but there is such a thing as being civil about it.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika It doesn't matter. It's still not a necessity, especially when it comes to criticism.
I know they're not perfect. And that's not what we're talking about.

@calbeau I was just letting you know it wasn't necessary. That's all.

@calbeau Doesn't matter.

@munstahunta It doesn't look like an N64 or PS1 game.

@Mountain_Man No he doesn't. He's doing SOMETHING.

As if the first trailer didn't hype me up enough.
Plus, the movie comes out a month exactly after my birthday.

I really hope this means we'll see Anya-Taylor Joy as Peach.

Scarlet for me. I don't know why, but Koraidon resonates with me a bit more.
Though I always went for third versions in the past if given the choice.

Kind of looks like Flik from A Bug's Life.

Now I want to hear her as Peach even more.

I personally would love to see them release a new 3D Mario game that improves on everything that made Odyssey so great.

First two comments are going "it's literally just Chris Pratt playing the same normal voice character as always". Not really. There is a difference in his voice if you pay close attention. He's doing something.

Charles Martinet is honestly one of the most wholesome people I've ever known about. I'm excited to see what roles he will bring to the table in the movie, and excited to see where his career as Mario and Luigi will take him in the future.

God, I love this man.

If this movie has musical numbers, then it'll be even better.

Not too bad from what I heard. Obviously I know it's Chris Pratt that's playing Mario, but there's a chance that his other lines may sound better. Only time will tell.

I'm honestly surprised how good this looks. I didn't expect it to be this close to the games.

Sableye sounds like a fun pick. I know people will love to play as Zoroark.

If Christ Pratt himself is excited, then that must be a good sign.

@Munchlax No it doesn't. Tears of the Kingdom and the Mario movie both have set release dates. And Pikmin 4 took nearly a decade to be publicly announced, not three like this one.

@sanderev It hasn't been THAT long.
