I'm pretty sure it doesn't hold up as a film per se, as it seemed like a bunch of set pieces loosely strung together. But... I don't care. Nintendo was my childhood, and this took me back to a simpler, happier time. I almost audibly squeed when one of the lumas referenced the Super Mario Bros Super Show theme song.

All the cameos from other Nintendo franchises make me want a Super Smash Bros movie so bad. Fox also doesn't look uncanny in this movie unlike the SF64 rereremake.

Always happy to see references to Mario Sunshine (Bowser Jr's paintbrush, the piantas in the gateway galaxy). I seem to be in the minority of people who really like that game.

I think I had similar impressions. Loved the fast pace, great animations, the plethora of references to all sorts of games. It's a nonstop audiovisual treat of a nostalgia trip.

Thinking about it after, some of the plot really makes me mad. Mainly the backstory of Bowser's bed time story to Jr. Other stuff like that, everything that happens just happens or gets moved on by the dumbest, hollowest reasons. There's no excuse for the choppy story. It can be for children, it can be action focused, but the little bit that is there doesn't have to be frustratingly vapid.

And yet... I come away overall really liking it. I'd hoped I could say without caveats that it was great, and I can't. But I was smiling the whole time, and it didn't overstay the welcome.
