The movie begins at the Punch-Out Pizzeria, a fictional place that nods at the Punch-Out!! gaming franchise. That doesn’t mean this section of the movie isn’t filled with Easter eggs, since we can see Nintendo’s influence everywhere we look.
Movie begins, Mario ( Chris Pratt) and Luigi ( underrated voice actor Charlie Day) are still living in Brooklyn, unaware there’s a magic kingdom populated by living mushrooms and terrifying turtles.
