A new Super Mario Bros. movie trailer was just revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct, and it teases Rainbow Road, Donkey Kong, and more. It opens with Mario entering a Super Smash Bros. Brawl-like coliseum and taking on the giant gorilla who just ends up grabbing the plumber before slapping him around.
Why does Donkey Kong look different from the video games? Shigeru Miyamoto stated that his appearance was changed for the first time to suit a wider audience, yet still reminiscent of the original character. Bryn Tyler composed the soundtrack to this film, working closely with longtime Mario composer Koji Kondo to incorporate themes from the video game into the film’s score. Illumination Studios Paris of ‘The Secret Life of Pets’ fame is handling the animation. It’s set to hit theaters in the US on April 7, 2023.
