It’s also an already, almost-completed Japanese movie of its own called “Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic”.

They will be spending the next two years modifying the character likenesses of Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad, building them over their respective counterpart models of Imajin, Mama, Lina, and Papa.

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic takes place within a book with an Arabian setting, so I am willing to bet Super Mario’s Bros 2 is going to feel distinctly different from the first Super Mario Bros Movie.

One last interesting fact, the first Super Mario Bros Movie was shot in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Alternatively, “Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic” movie was shot in a 1:2.39 aspect ratio, making it more of a “vertical” aspect ratio, complimenting the movie’s focus on the main characters lifting, carrying, throwing, stacking, and climbing objects; and incrementally scrolling the screen upward when reaching the top.

I bet it won’t even feel like a Mario Movie at first, but in the long run people will remember it fondly.

I love this and I hate that this is hidden in a lemmy comment.

I hope it's a sequel to the 1993 movie.

Super Mario Bros: Into The Marioverse?

The first one was good enough, the whole family enjoyed it. Hope we get Wario as the sequel villain, but they can go in so many directions. The Mario universe is pretty massive.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a new video, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination Entertainment’s Chris Meledandri shared that the next movie is in development, with a release date set for April 3rd, 2026.

Meledandri says Illumination Studios Paris, which worked on the first film, is storyboarding the movie under the direction, once again, of Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic.

And after the movie’s April 3rd release in the US “and many other markets globally,” it will come to “select territories” throughout the rest of the month.

With the November announcement of a live-action Legend of Zelda film, we now have not one, but two confirmed movies in development based on major Nintendo intellectual properties.

Wes Ball, director of the Maze Runner trilogy and the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, will helm the movie, with Avi Arad and Miyamoto producing.

Nintendo also included some gaming info, like that the Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, a remaster of the 3DS Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will be available on May 23rd and June 27th, respectively.
