It's out this week in cinemas.
It's addressed the first moment we meet Mario and Luigi as they put on stereotypical Italian accents in what turns out to be their plumbing advert. Their introduction also features a fun appearance from the OG Mario, Charles Martinet, acting as a way to draw a line under the backlash and move on with this version of Mario.
In truth, it feels harsh to single out Pratt or Day in terms of the voice cast as it feels like everyone was given free reign to just be themselves, right down to Jack Black giving Bowser a Tenacious D-esque musical number. They all just sound like themselves, which makes the fact Mario and Luigi's extended family are all lazy Italian stereotypes even odder.
While it's jarring at first, you get used to the 'new' Mario, Luigi and co, especially as co-directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic race through the story like they're playing. As soon as we're in the Mushroom Kingdom, it's a journey from reference-packed location to reference-packed location without a pause taken.
