Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach summary
After hours of searching, piling together pictures and clips, and translating using a combination of babelfish, dictionaries and my limited knowledge, I’m finally piercing together the plot of the 1986 Japanese Mario movie. I have NOT watched the movie, I’m as clueless as you are about this rare gem that keeps getting 5/5 in reviews everywhere I go. (Are we missing something or what!) Sadly I didn't save the URLS at the time and I just kinda... saved what I found... >_<; Most resources come from SMBIS and its links.
WARNING – this will NOT be 100% accurate! At best it’ll give you an idea of what went on. It will probably be updated as I figure out more and more of the movie and kidnap Japanese-English speaking people. If I’m VERY unsure about a scene, I WILL still add it in but I’ll probably add tons of (?) and guess warnings. i.e. Mario’s tea I’m still unsure of. If someone actually WATCHED the movie, please take over! I’m just stabbing in the dark. ;.;
DON'T STEAL MY HORRIBLE VAGUE POOR EXCUSE FOR A SUMMARY!
The movie opens with Mario playing his Famicom late at night. Luigi enters wearing his PJs, bringing in Mario’s tea (?), which Mario ignores. When Luigi is gone, the TV screen changes, and it starts to pitter-patter, opening the portal to the Mushroom Kingdom. After some commotion in the TV (?), Princess Peach appears unconscious wearing a crystal necklace. Mario is intrigued and nears her then she wakes up, startling the both of them. After some dialogue exchange, King Kuppa appears and snatches the Princess. However, Peach managed to slip (or accidently dropped) the necklace to Mario before being captured. The TV returns to normal. At first Mario is in shock and doesn’t believe what just happened (and falls asleep after?). However when he looks at the accessory he is convinced it was not a dream and the night continues.
Luigi, suspecting something has happened, enters the room. Mario tries to explain but Luigi insists it was a dream. Mario shows the pendant. Scene ends followed by music and it’s morning.
