I think the at least three points in the video, where the narrator responds to a scene with something to the effect of "God, this movie" instead of actually explaining why the scene is stupid, say it. The number at the end isn't important, and actually really very good movies get the Sins treatment, but even the bad ones usually don't get dinged three times for being dumb beyond words.

"No movie is without sin," is the motto of CinemaSins. And the time has come for Super Mario Bros. to pay for its crimes. Or, at least... be scathingly criticized for them, step-by-step, in a video one-fifth as long as the movie itself.
Everything Wrong With Super Mario Bros. In 21 Minutes Or Less
Justice is served!
If you haven't got 20 minutes to spare, perhaps the also recently-released <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsGkMSY_[bundle of sticks]">Honest Trailer for the film[/url] by Screen Junkies will hold you over.

It's the way that the Shroobs were such a force, like a viral infection. They had no empathy--not even among EACH OTHER--and almost nothing resembling a comedic side. I didn't notice it so much when I was 12 but they're scary as hell.
Sure Cackletta was cunning, and her plans actually functioned, and she turned everyone in a college into monsters... but she could be tricked, more than once the heroes of the story just steal back what they wanted and run away from her laughing. That's a tone that works for Mario. You don't get that with the Shroobs. Did you notice that at no point in the narrative do the characters sit down and discuss or think about what the plan is to deal with them? They focus on saving Peach, as if her absence is the only problem, and that works when you're up against Bowser who mostly just takes Peach and leaves everyone alone after that, but here? They're destroying towns and killing people and transforming peaceful creatures into destructive abominations. The player knows scaring them off or beating up the boss won't cut it and they have to be thoroughly exterminated. And if the horrible writing (definitely shades of M. Night Shyamalan) didn't drop an absurd deus ex machina on them, there would not have been a way to do that.

I think it is needlessly macabre, to the point it just doesn't feel right.

The Paper universe is gone
Mario & Luigi & Paper Mario confirms that there is some kind of multiverse stuff going on with Mario. The events in each universe are similar--Bowser kidnaps Peach again and again and Mario saves her, etc. In the Super universe, Super Mario was traveling through space collecting stars to save Peach from Bowser. At the same time in the Paper universe, Paper Mario was traveling through dimensions collecting hearts to save everything from melodrama. At the conclusion of Mario Galaxy, I guess the universe is destroyed and gives birth to a new one and Rosalina explains that it's not going to be exactly the same (apparently. Sure, I still don't see how this is supposed to be what happens, but it'll serve my purposes here). At the same time, the Chaos Heart is destroyed and the worlds the Void swallowed are pulled back out.
...But they're not exactly the same there, either. Paper Mario's home dimension was one that the Void sucked up, and the Star Spirits didn't have a more recent System Restore Point for the world than one before Mario beat the Shadow Queen. She became unstoppable and took over the world before Mario could collect enough Power Rush badges to prevent it. The world Paper Mario and his friends call home became a living hell.
Sticker Star is what happened when they escaped and sought refuge in the Super universe--the Super characters, not comprehending that these paper counterparts were more of thinking, living beings with souls than anything they'd ever met, put on a puppet show using Paper Mario and co.'s bodies. Paper Jam is the Paper cast's escape from the Super universe into the M&L Universe, where once again they will be used as props simply because of their strange physiology. It is possible they could escape to Woolly World and eke out a meager existence there next...
...but they'll never really be at home again.
