Brooklyn’s ordinary plumber brothers “Mario” and “Luigi” are sucked into a mysterious green pipe while trying to save a city in crisis due to a faulty drain.
Brothers moved to a new world through pipes.
The older brother Mario arrives in the mushroom kingdom ruled by Peach, who has excellent leadership, but the younger brother Luigi falls to the darkland where the villain “Bowser” is located and is kidnapped, and Mario decides to confront Bowser with the help of Peach and Toad to save his younger brother.

Critics who gave positive reviews said they respected Nintendo’s choice because it was the first 3D animated theater version of Nintendo, excluding Pokémon, adding that it was enough to excite Mario fans by expressing the visual beauty of fan service and Mario series.

Critics who gave negative evaluations pointed out the insufficient probability of the story. He also added that YouTube’s explanation videos about fan services and Easter eggs rather than the movie itself would be more interesting than the movie itself.

Both positive and negative critics agreed that the movie would be a box office hit with the Mario series’ high profile and nostalgia for memories.
