More Promising Possibilities Of A Sequel To The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Near the closure of the Sonic Superstars installation at Westfield London [62] [64], my fiancé and I expanded on the one-year anniversary celebration of our engagement by watching The Super Mario Bros. Movie on Prime Video. I might as well be one of those films to watch again with the kids this Christmas besides Frozen while some older family members could play a game such as Portal II, Rayman Legends, Stardew Valley, It Takes Two, or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that can prevent an argument from erupting [9] [17] [49] [57]. The animated feature is one of the most successful films of 2023 for its vibrant animation, wittiness, and faithfulness to the Super Mario games [82]. Some of us have been curious about how well a well-deserved sequel could be a faithful follow-up without making the same mistakes many other sequels have made [99] [100]. It may not be recommended to play games that lack competitive elements such as Star Wars: Battlefront II with family members this Christmas [90], but I personally recommend fondly discussing how a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie can excel together as a community of Nintendo nerds who were thrilled at its overall outcome [99] [100]. Besides, we cannot let that post-credit scene go to waste, which is what happened to Murfy from the Rayman series saying “See you in Rayman 4!” in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc [58] [84].

A follow-up film can provide new opportunities for characters, yet it can end up being considered less favourable or even controversial if not handled considerately [1] [26] [59]. I am looking at you, Music [27] [36]. I hope you NEVER get a sequel! Personally, I consider 2023 a direct sequel to 2022 for many reasons other than how it is the year after 2022 [33]. [72]

The reason for hiring an experienced actor like Chris Pratt to voice Mario was probably because Charles Martinet had been so used to one-liners for the games before his retirement from the role [38] [39] [41] [82]. I do not blame him for that though as the voice actor is often not involved with the writing. The same reason must have applied to hiring Charlie Day to voice Luigi, hiring Jack Black to voice Bowser and so on. More importantly, Mario and Luigi had effective character developments and a little relatability in an origin film. Some new developments for the brothers in the sequel can be Mario developing a crush on Peach and Luigi gradually becoming braver [100] [101]. It may be a little off that the Illumination Entertainment interpretation of Mario does not like the taste of mushrooms [82], but at least none of them has caused him to hallucinate, which is what happened to the one and only Crazy Frog in one of his latest music videos [10]. Aside from the hopefulness of Chris Pratt and Charlie Day reprising their roles in a sequel to the animated film that made up for a live-action disappointment from 1993 [34], I wish all the best to Kevin Afghani for voicing Mario, Luigi and Wario in the future of the Super Mario franchise after the success of Super Mario Bros. Wonder [18] [19] [45]. 

It may be a little odd that Pratt is the voice of Garfield in the upcoming animated film starring our favourite fat cat from the comics by Jim Davis [13] [68], but the actor is still worthy of praise for his performances as Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe [20]. [72]

I do not doubt that plenty of Nintendo nerds are hyped for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD in 2024 [79]. Hopefully, a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie can handle a bigger focus on the secondary character quite well [82] [100] [101]. [79]

Strangely enough, Princess Peach did not hold a parasol once in the entire movie [82]. This leads me to believe that another new character in the sequel could be Perry from Super Princess Peach [48]. I am aware that he has not appeared in the games for years, but it would still be a fitting surprise comeback, considering how self-empowered Peach was in the movie [82]. Speaking of self-empowerment, perhaps the sequel can introduce Toadette as another supporting character and the Super Crown power-up from New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, which would also bring Peachette to the big screen [40]. It could lead to Bowser falling for her and mistaking her for the real Peach, as clichéd as that form of dramatic irony would be, but perhaps there could be some backstory on how he fell in love with the princess for some further character exploration [82]. Besides, I felt like the alley cats in Tom & Jerry: The Movie were spiteful towards Tom for no reason and there still has been no explanation for why Stella is so hateful to Stolas throughout their arranged marriage besides his adultery with Blitzo in Helluva Boss [28] [29] [30] [31] [83]. As a much more likeable princess, the outstanding interpretation of Peach voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy could be sure to ditch that damsel-in-distress phase…until further notice [82].

Let us hope that Peach will not leave the stove on in a new Super Mario Bros. movie. Think of the meatloaf [66]! [72]

Anything to say about Bowser, the tyrant named after a Korean soup recipe, according to Fibbage 3 [23]? He sure went yandere on Peach with a form of blackmail, quite like how Frollo threatened Esmeralda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame...but without the death by fire penalty [81] [86]. If only Cameron Poe would teach him not to treat women like that [53]. Moreover, he could still feel those feelings for the princess in pink after being rescued by his son…and even lie to him about her being his mother, quite like in Super Mario Sunshine [41] [82]! Watching that intense moment when he gets Luigi to spit out the truth by gradually yanking his moustache is a reminder to not let Rachel from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 hire him for a certain waxing treatment [67] [82], which might as well happen to Wario or Waluigi just before a deal is made in the sequel [100] [101], but as I preached before, it is important to not recycle too many jokes and such from the first film to make a sequel effective. Before Bowser can strike back in The New Super Mario Bros. Movie (which is just a predicted title for now), he must be restored to his normal size sometime after an amusing defeat at the end of Illumination Entertainment’s big step up [82].

Where’s MY pet turtle [82]? [72]

Looking at the map during the meeting in Peach’s castle, I suspect that the land resembling an iconic part of Egypt is Sarasaland [82], which could lead to Princess Daisy becoming a cast member in the sequel [100] [101]. She ought to display a few tomboyish traits and be cheerfully witty, yet there could be some backstory on how she became the princess of Sarasaland or more originally, how she got out of being the hostage of Tatanga as a direct reference to Super Mario Land [71]. If there could be a flashback of Rosalina as a baby in a third Super Mario Bros. film, the design of Baby Rosalina can have the palette of her as a child in the storybook in Super Mario Galaxy [46], which is what she lacked since her debut in Mario Kart 8 [37] [88]. I would be delighted to see Princess Daisy mentor Luigi as an important element of some new character development for him in a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie and if there is not enough room for a dash of faithfulness to Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 in this development [46] [47], it can always be sprinkled into development of a third film.

Hi, she’s Daisy! [72]

Despite my bitterness towards X, formerly known as “Twitter” throughout the 2020s so far, I still thank Jeanne for acknowledging my old drawing of Baby Rosalina in a design that is faithful to the story of Rosalina’s past in Super Mario Galaxy from 2015 [37] [46]. [85] [88]

Perhaps Diddy Kong can earn a slightly bigger role than a cheerleader for Donkey Kong in the sequel [82]. It would be swell if he could gain an Ice Flower to become Ice Diddy Kong or any other power alongside some effectiveness within a bigger role. As for Cranky Kong, I still believe that he could be captured to perform in a circus in Brooklyn at Donkey Kong’s age in a flashback [100] [101]. Additionally, there could be a brief appearance of Wrinkly Kong [76], a deceased character from the Donkey Kong Country series as a retro equivalent of Candy Kong being a mother to Baby Donkey Kong in another flashback and as possibly a ghost who advises Luigi on his next survival challenge in the present. Shockingly enough, a new antagonist could be a new interpretation of King K. Rool who could be more intimidating than how he was in the television series based on the Donkey Kong Country games and assist Bowser Jr. in avenging his father as an exclusive element outside of the games [8]. As previously stated, there can be a little more in Donkey Kong’s struggles with receiving fatherly approval in The New Super Mario Bros. Movie...and possibly a flashback of Mario’s father being the foe of Cranky Kong, which would be pretty shocking (but coincidental) to two sons [82] [100] [101].

The live-action style 
Had not much grace [34],
But this style 

Puts a grin on my face [5]! [72]

It is quite interesting how this interpretation of Cranky Kong is the emperor of a kingdom in the movie [82], unlike the Cranky Kong in the Donkey Kong Country series [56]. It sure is great to leave a certain interpretation of the elderly ape in the late 2010s [25]. [72]

Yoshi’s appearance could just simply be the biggest highlight of the sequel [82]. There ought to be a particular trait that makes him stand out from the crowd of today other than how he hatched in the sewers in Brooklyn, making him a little more than a pet like Dino from The Flintstones [16], but let a talented actor with an iconic voice like Ryan Reynolds voice him and you could get the next Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs [6] [15]! But I digress. Please stick to his limited vocabulary enriched by an adorable high-pitched voice or make his speech like how it was in the Super Mario World cartoon [37] [38] [39] [94]! Birdo also has the potential to make an appearance in the sequel. She could perhaps be an enemy as a direct reference to the Western version of Super Mario Bros. 2 [44], but then gradually became an ally throughout some character development, especially to Yoshi for possibly a little wholesome transgender representation [69]. Oops! I just sounded woke all of a sudden! Oh well. Quite like how there is potential for Dogpool to be a competent sidekick for Deadpool in Deadpool 3 [60], Yoshi has the potential to be the most notable new cast member in The New Super Mario Bros. Movie [82] [100] [101].

Yoshi is one of the cutest video game characters of all time! Surely, The New Super Mario Bros. Movie cannot mess up his role as a noble steed [82]. [72]

Perhaps there could be more covers of iconic soundtracks from the games, such as the underwater theme from Super Mario 64 if Mario or Luigi ought to swim underwater in the Penguin Suit from New Super Mario Bros. Wii or the Frog Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3 [39] [41] [42] [70]. Some of the licensed songs chosen for certain scenes in the film are from the 1980s [75], the same era the Super Mario series began [43], so I guess they were not too irrelevant as they at least fitted the mood of each scene. And why not let Brentalfloss write a few parodies of the licensed songs for each scene in The Super Mario Bros. Movie based on what happens on the screen [78]? There might as well be some iconic songs from the 1990s as Super Mario World was released in the first few years of that decade [74]. As exciting as it would be for the sequel to be a full-blown musical with a lot more original songs, especially by Jack Black’s apparent request [3] [22], it would be indeed less time-consuming to be licensed to use a few more popular hits from successful artists for certain scenes. But c’mon! How about another awesome original song by JACK BLACK AS BOWSER!!! [82]? Okay, I will stop quoting Josh Scorcher from 2021 now [7].

And speaking of power-ups, I suppose there can finally be an explanation for Pink Gold Peach’s existence since her debut in Mario Kart 8 as there can be the Pink Gold Crown for Peach to put on her head to become Pink Gold Peach [37] [86], thus letting the Metal Mario theme from Super Mario 64 play [41] [42]. Oh! And sorry, I know I made this cute little thing in Adobe Photoshop almost a decade ago [86], but DeviantArt is not really worth my time anymore for my mental well-being and proactivity’s sake. [86]

I know that many sequels seemed unneeded or just did not excel like the original did [93], but it is still fun and interesting to discuss how one can leave at least some positive impact on fans [100] [101]. However, the sudden cancellation of a sequel in development could end up being a blessing instead of a heartbreak [21]. Nonetheless, such wasted potential after a moment hinting at a follow-up could be even more heartbreaking. If Disney’s Wish is considered “woke” [24], Kaa from the company’s iconic interpretation of The Jungle Book might as well come out as non-binary, thus going by They/Them pronouns [95], yet I still understand that effective storytelling is a bigger priority whilst refraining from being an anti-SJW about it. Without hassling anyone on the matter of assuring remarkable entertainment, we can hope for the best for future additions to franchises and new experiments. Perhaps a sequel to Barbie: The Movie could feature a short crossover with another live-action interpretation of Monster High [4]. Perhaps Frozen III can lead to Elsa finally finding a female love interest [89]. Perhaps there could be a spin-off of Helluva Boss centred on Stolas, other members of the Ars Goetia family and some new characters [98] [99]. And perhaps The New Super Mario Bros. Movie can do the Mario brothers’ next adventure on the big screen justice [82] [99] [100].

I am also up for a sequel to Wish that could be considered better with the same ambitious animation style but with even better handling of the topic of wishing, a few more effective signs of representation of a little Spanish culture and so on as I personally think that film is a little overhated [2] [14] [24] [102]. But for now, let us make some preparations for the experiences to cherish in 2024, including Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Princess Peach: Showtime! on the Nintendo Switch [52] [73], Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC [91], Hazbin Hotel on Prime Video [96] [97], the third season of Sonic Prime on Netflix and more of what Disney and Warner Bros. have to offer after their one-hundred-anniversary celebrations, including Inside Out 2 and Dune: Part Two [35] [54] [79] [92]. [80]

I wonder how some of our Mario Kart racers did in this year’s Holiday Tour in Mario Kart Tour [50]? I wish them the best of luck in the New Year’s Tour [51]. Aside from that, I guess Santa’s Slayground Holiday Event is especially for the Call of Duty soldiers on his…neutral list [55]. If you think sounds crazy, quite like how Batman and Deadpool know Santa [11] [12], there might as well be some more crazy crossovers to crave after the Universal New Year’s Celebration in Minecraft [32] [61]. Happy Holidays, fellow gamers [49] [57] [63] [65] [77]! [50]

A Winter Wishday Awaits In The Fifth Generation Of My Little Pony

Twilight Sparkle’s appearance in the second episode of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark as a hologram was quite a humbling shout-out to the Friendship Is Magic era [15] [17] [22] [31] [42], quite like how the continuation of the Polly Pocket Keepsake Collection is two more humble shout-outs to fans of the old school Polly Pocket era [55]. After a cliffhanger in the ninth episode was commenced [17], a new trailer for My Little Pony: Winter Wishday and a sneak peek of it have been released to bring on some potential to be a Christmas special [47] [48]. I know what you are thinking. Really, Laura? It is not December yet! Why discuss a Christmas special? Well, some of us had already begun our Christmas shopping and there are already some new Christmas adverts, including the one from Asda starring Buddy the Elf [1]. Secondly, My Little Pony: Winter Wishday is yet to be released next week. After many Poké players congratulate Ash Ketchum on becoming a World Champion in Pokémon Ultimate Journeys [53] [54], I shall proceed to discuss what is next in the third chapter for our bronies and pegasisters who consider themselves admirers of the fifth generation of the My Little Pony franchise [13] [23] [47] [48]. 

Playing the My Little Pony app during my college days certainly did not give me the mentality of a six-year-old [15]. Moreover, I do not have to “toughen up” just because someone told me to. I can simply be kind, rational and stronger than some people would think I am, even after World Kindness Day [60]. [47]

The summary of the special is that the Mane Five have different goals associated with traditions for the Equestria equivalent of Christmas called “Wishentine’s Day” [23] [47] [48]. Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals, the two royal sisters are seen flying together during a ceremony, showing some dedication to a royal duty as their goal is to make it to Zephyr Heights just in time for it [47]. Sunny Starscout suggested exchanging gifts under the Wishing Star. Izzy Moonbow hopes to put her hoofmade ornament on the trunk of a large oak tree. Lastly, Hitch Trailblazer has promised Figgy, his grandmother that he would come and see her during the holidays [16]. You can tell that accomplishing all four desires will not escalate quickly as Pipp mentions how long it would take to travel to both Bridlewood and Zephyr Heights [47]. Aside from their hopes to follow their Wishentine’s traditions, even after the long overdue reunion of earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi [5], there is potential for the determinations to achieve then to provide some further character exploration, somewhat like how Eddy got some development outside of his money-making schemes in Ed, Edd n Eddy’s Jingle Jingle Jangle…which only lasted until near the ending [11]. 

Take it away, Dean Martin [36]. [47]

I am delighted that the Mane Five shall be portrayed faithfully in the third chapter as they try and follow their Wishentine’s traditions [23] [48]. [47]

How else will the Mane Five be portrayed in the third chapter aside from their Wishentine’s goals, such as travelling to Zephyr Heights to see Zipp and Pipp perform at the Wishing Time Royal Carousel Concert [47] [48]? Firstly, the moment of the team visiting the residence of the elderly pony who appears to be his grandmother fits the theme of a Christmas special as family gatherings are a part of the Christmas tradition for us humans [16]. To spice things up in an icy climate, the Mane Five must survive a snowstorm in a flying campervan with wings that suddenly freeze [47]. In the sneak peek, Izzy instructs her fellow ponies to imagine a safe place in Zephyr Heights for the campervan to land to elevate a magical ability from her horn that causes a purple aura to protectively surround it, which shows her potential heroism [48]. Hitch is sure to keep being a noble father figure of the adorable baby dragon named “Sparky Sparkeroni” who previously appeared in the Make Your Mark special [45] [61] [62]. Aside from some wholesomeness, the conflict in the trailer and sneak peek shows that the special will be more daring and a little more complex, compared to the Christmas special from 2005 known as “A Very Minty Christmas” [12] [40]. 

 

There could be some backstory on how Sunny Starscout used to exchange gifts under the Wishing Star with her father in a flashback [66] [67]. [47]

Zipp’s duty as the flying campervan’s pilot suits her tomboyish personality. I may want to go back to 2013 sometimes [56], but there is still hope for a great Christmas special next week [47]. [48]

Any further development for the characters in supporting roles in the previous specials or brand new characters? As previously mentioned, the elderly pony is Figgy, Hitch’s grandmare [16] [47]. It is likely that she may just be the generic “sweet and innocent old lady” kind, but there could still be something wholesome and humbling about her appearance in the special. Could Posey Bloom make further amends after her big regret in the Mark Your Mark special, but still be rather cynical at times, compared to her G1 counterpart [21] [28]? As for Sparky who is only a baby and acts a lot more like one, compared to Spike from the Friendship Is Magic era [29], I bet he would be happy to meet Figgy and be a potential adoptive great-grandson to her [16]. Despite her loyalty to Opaline, the main antagonist of the Mark Your Mark series, I hope that Misty will be free from her emotional abuse and be able to happily celebrate Wishentime with the Mane Five as a big step up in her character if she were to make an appearance in the special [19] [20] [34] [45] [46]. Moreover, she could perhaps finally gain a cutie mark in the second season of the Mark Your Mark series [18] [34]. Giving supporting characters some effective relevancy is a sign of fairly good writing.

You mad, Posey [27]? [46]

Will the cliffhanger in “Have You Seen This Dragon?” be solved [18]? Will Misty confidentially join the side of the restoration of diversity since some bad guys eventually became good guys in the Friendship Is Magic era, including Sunset Shimmer [41]? There may not be enough room in the special for such progression, but we can still hope to witness it in the second season of the Mark Your Mark series or another G5 television series. [20]

As an art lover, I simply must discuss the visuals in the trailer and sneak peek. Unlike the film and the previous special, My Little Pony: Winter Wishday is set during Winter [47] [48], just like in Olaf’s Frozen Adventure [52], meaning that there is wonderfully rendered snow in Equestria [47] [48]. Unlike the ponies in Friendship Is Magic [15] [42], the ponies in A New Generation, Make Your Mark, Tell Your Tale and Winter Wishday all clearly have eyebrows [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48]. The tree Izzy hopes to place her ornament on is decorated almost entirely like a generic large Christmas tree. The rainbow that shoots from the back of the flying campervan reminds me of…you guessed it! Nyan Cat [26] [50] [51]! Its exterior design is rather imaginative, to say the least, somewhat like how an igloo could possibly be an aeroplane during the Club Penguin days [10]. Each setting is richly detailed, from Grandma Figgy’s residence to the interior of the campervan [47] [48]. Lastly, the designs of the holiday hats the Mane Five are wearing in the campervan are pretty quirky. I cannot help but sense the Christmassy vibes of Olaf’s Frozen Adventure when analysing the trailer for My Little Pony: Winter Wishday [47] [52]. Furthermore, the quality of the animation is top-notch and consistent for today’s standards in 3D animated specials.

Other exceptional details include the steam from the mugs of hot cocoa and the lighting effects during the performance at the Wishing Time Royal Carousel Concert. [47]

Looking at these cookies makes me peckish [47]. However, promise me that you will NOT even think about licking the screen! It was bad enough that Deadpool ate crayons during the time he took over the official Twitter account for promoting Marvel’s Midnight Suns [39]. [47]

Lastly, there will be three new songs in the special [23]. Well, what do you expect? We have only heard two of them in the trailer; “To Grandmare’s House We Go” and “Just Can’t Wait For Wishentine’s Day” [47]. Both songs sound like what you would hear if you were listening to a Christmas song, which would elevate the feeling of watching a Christmas special. They are quite unique on their own accords as the two songs in the previous special are “Let’s Make Our Mark Together”, an upbeat pop song about sharing confidence within friendship and “It’s Gonna Be OK”, another energetic pop song that is about reassurance during a troublesome time [43] [44]. Moreover, there was a small variety of pop songs in different tones and styles that elevated each of the scenarios they begin in throughout A New Generation and made the pro-equality journey more fun [5]. Aside from how I can appreciate the three songs in the upcoming special for being Christmas-themed for the sake of variety [47], I shall hope for a few more songs in the second season of Helluva Boss to be produced in some new styles of music for my fellow sinners with different musical tastes rather than just another acoustic ballad between two imps [8] [9] [38] [72] [73].

If you find any of the songs in the fifth generation of My Little Pony unfavourable, feel free to explain why. Besides, Adam Buckley, also known as “ADoseofBuckley” can make valid points on why he believes a particular song is flawed [6] [7]. [47]

As previously stated, My Little Pony: Winter Wishday will be available on Netflix next week [23] [47] [48]. In the meantime, plenty of our Tama-caretakers can get yet another party started with the upgrade of Tamagotchi Pix known as “Tamagotchi Pix Party” and plenty of fans of the Bratz franchise can feel fabulous with a new collaboration with Glamnetic [2] [3] [24] [25] [59]. I do not doubt that the second season of the My Little Pony: Make Your Mark series or another G5 animated series will take place after its events. More issues of the comic book series await readers in early 2023 [14], quite like how the bigger outcome of Storyteller awaits both gamers and creative writers at that time [70] [71]. And at some point, will there be a new generation of the Littlest Pet Shop franchise or a rehash of the beloved second generation many LPSTubers miss so much [33] [35] [49]? As a pegasister who is always up for a cartoonish craze [65] [68] [69], I shall remain wishful for a good outcome of My Little Pony: Winter Wishday, the shortly upcoming third chapter of the fifth generation. And as a fan of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss [37] [64] [72] [73], I can always tell myself I will be okay [8] [9], even after all the hate I have received this year [32] [64].

I hope everypony will have a Joyful Wishentine’s Day. What could be next? Bendy and the Ink Shark next Halloween [4] [57]? But for now, how about a brohoof [58] [64]? [47]
