And saddest of all to me, there is no attempt to create backstory or give context to these beloved worlds and characters. None of the characters have stated goals aside from King Koppa. Almost every opportunity to make a joke is skipped. The script is mostly empty and there is little to no attempt at character motivation, organic character decision making - for example, why Princess Peach tells Mario he can come with her to save her kingdom. Toad's voice acting is also meatless and without any real jokes. The worst voice acting belongs to Seth's terrible Donkey Kong junior - not a single attempt to make an actual character voice, just Seth's normal voice slapped on Donkey Kong. Princess Peach is the same - voice acting is boring and fairly emotionless. Chris Pratt is forgettable-anyone could have done better voicing such a beloved character. We have only best and fun online games like Super Mario Flash 3. This is a free unblocked game you can play everywhere - at home, at school or at work. The voice acting in this movie is so lazy. Play Super Mario Flash 3 at Friv EZ online.

AND I expect better, higher quality movie making.

The runtime is great and the movie moves along without pause. The animation is strong, the worlds are exactly like the video games and truly fun moments for kids. A movie that has all of the elements you'd want represented from Super Mario bros video games, and as a bonus, it also showcases Mario cart and donkey kong junior. As a purely fluff piece - it's fun, bright spirited, and enjoyable for families.
