Super Mario Movie Plot
Luigi and Mario, the Mario brothers, remain busy in their plumbing business in Brooklyn, where they live with their parents. However, their parents are not happy with the Mario brothers’ careers. The Mario brothers go underground to fix the leaking pipes. There, they enter new worlds.
Despite hard attempts, the Mario brothers get separated. Luigi falls into a dark world, and Mario gets thrown into the Mushroom Island, where he finds his little companion, Toad. Toad helps him reach the abode of Princess Peach.
On the other hand, the timid Luigi lands in the dark Shadow Kingdom ruled by the wicked Bowser and gets caught by Bowser’s minions. The Koopa King, Bowser, has already been informed about the arrival of a human in the Mushroom Kingdom and another in the Shadow Kingdom.
Bowser considers the human in the Mushroom Kingdom a threat to his evil plans. He wants to overtake the Mushroom Kingdom by marrying Peach. Peach is a human who unknowingly landed in the Mushroom Kingdom as a kid and got declared queen by the toads.
Bowser tortures Luigi to learn about Mario’s plans. The audience must not worry as the torture is not at all scary. Meanwhile, Princess Peach worries as Bowser may finish the Mushroom Kingdom like the penguins. She has the so-called army of toads who are too cute to be harsh warriors.
Peach learns that Mario and her must help each other. However, she decides to test him before making him stand against Bowser. Similarly, she teaches him some signature moves to defeat Bowser. The tests and the worlds they visit are taken from the classic Super Mario game.
Since the toads cannot fight against the Koopa King, Peach takes Mario to the kingdom of apes, where he gains the king’s trust by defeating Canky in a test. Taking the advanced vehicles provided by the apes, Peach, Mario, and Toad return to the Mushroom Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Bowser comes to the Mushroom Kingdom to propose and threaten Peach. She ends up agreeing to his proposal, as Bowser will harm the toads if she does not agree.
Peach gets ready for the wedding. An intense battle begins when Mario, Funky Kong, and the toads attack the Shadow Kingdom with all the types of equipment they have. Peach ends up freezing Bowser and his minions using the ice flower in the bouquet that Toad had given her secretly.
Bowser tries to explode the Mushroom Kingdom when he starts getting normal again. Meanwhile, the pipe that brought Mario into the Mushroom Kingdom gets hit by a wall, and an explosion occurs. This time, the explosion brings the floating Shadow Kingdom to Brooklyn.
Peach hands the Super Star over to the Mario brothers. Thus, they forcefully feed Bowser with a mini mushroom and trap him in the bottle. Later, the Mario brothers shift to the Mushroom Kingdom forever.
