And maybe it takes place over the Kalimari Desert from Mario Kart 64, the course with a train, and Yoshi (Mario’s car) has to run and keep up with- ach, you get the idea. There’s almost certainly going to be a bit over the course of these mushroom-centric 90 minutes where Mario has a chase scene. It stands to reason Nathan Drake gets a jeep, Mario gets a Yoshi.

It’s undeniably the egg of long-time Mario workhorse Yoshi, right? So we can expect to see the glue-tongued little mount at some point in the film, we expect. It’s blue, just behind blue shopkeeper Toad. Peek next to the more expected goods, and you’ll clock that iconic egg white, with little coloured splotches. "It says here that she's turned the weans against you" (Elena is also blonde and has been to a castle, probably, just like Princess Peach). Him and Elena were estranged and barely communicating. The Nathan Drake connection moves ever deeper here: though Drake wasn’t quite divorced in Uncharted 4, his marriage was teetering on the brink. Aye, whatever, you’re a sentient mushroom, now beat it. This would also explain why Captain Toad is talking at Mario with the exact expression of an annoying pal in the middle of saying something asinine and platitudinous like “Cheer up mate! There’s plenty more heiresses in the kingdom!”. Which could indicate trouble in paradise: Peach has had enough, and Mazzer has found himself kicked to the kerb. And so, one would expect – as a matter of civic duty – his dungies to be well-kept. In British royal family terms, Mario’s relationship with Peach puts him on the cards for a dukeship of some shithole or another. It’s clear that those are on straight from the rack: fine for the likes of you and me, but this is a man who is pretty close to royalty when it comes to the Mushroom Kingdom.


Look at those wrinkles around Mario’s arse and legs. Mario’s Unironed Dungarees The state of his arse, look at it. So… middle-age, Indiana Jones… is… is this actually a secret Uncharted movie? Is Nintendo mugging off Sony here by doing a Mushroom-skinned Uncharted film?

A Mario movie could wrap itself around any number of Hollywood tropes, and a globe-hopping adventure romp would seem like a good fit: after all, Super Mario Odyssey was essentially that. And that’s his Treasure Tracker gear, more or less, right? Is there going to be a Lost Treasure of Something-or-Other storyline going on here, with Toad filling the role of an Indiana Jones side-kick, like Short Round? It’s possible. That’s Toad in the foreground, right? He’s chatting away to Mario like they’re old buddies. Throw in a sub-plot about Luigi escaping from a South American prison and the Mario movie could end up being a better Uncharted movie than the actual Uncharted movie.īob-ombs sort of look like bowling balls, right?Ĭaptain Toad That'll be Toad in his Treasure Tracker gear. This could be Old Man Mario, at a stage in his life not unlike Nathan Drake in Uncharted 4: middle aged, bored, and itching for one more daft adventure. If so this film is not, as with the Sonic films, an origin story. Is this an indication that the film considers the classic games to have happened in its timeline? But hear me out: on those shelves you can clearly see switch blocks and music boxes from Super Mario Bros 3.

I can’t believe I just typed that sentence with a straight face. So, here’s 7 things we found in the Mario poster that may give us some clues as to the upcoming film’s story: And let’s face it, who has time to zoom into a Twitter post?
