Talk:The Super Mario Bros. Movie

This article does not meet notability yet

As per WP:NF, "In the case of animated films, reliable sources must confirm that the film is clearly out of the pre-production process, meaning that the final animation frames are actively being drawn and/or rendered, and final recordings of voice-overs and music have commenced." As we have only gotten an announcement of the voice cast and release date from the Nintendo Direct, this article does not belong on the Wikipedia mainspace and should remain in the draftspace. - Richiekim (talk) 14:06, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out! The correct part of WP:NF that relates to this would be WP:NFF. I've proposed the article for deletion according to said policy. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:03, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Spike

Just thought I'd clarify this here, seeing how my correction got reverted and I don't want to start an edit war. Check here and pause at 1:35 to see proof that the Spike listed on the page is not the right one. There is an emblem right under Sebastian's portrait that is clearly depicting the antagonist from Wrecking Crew (here's what he looks like). Now it's possible that the recurring Mario enemy also known as "Spike" could make an appearance in the movie, but that enemy looks nothing like the foreman, nor the emblem from the announcement trailer. Hope this clears everything up! ---The Pastrami-Eating Bulldog 02:59, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

He was described as Mario and Luigi's boss in this source which fits more the description of the character from Wrecking Crew than the other Mario enemy, this should be clear enough -Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound 12:39, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Okay, But where's Wario & Waluigi? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.254.15.139 (talk) 18:22, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

It has been announced that Charles Martinet (who not only voices Mario in his game counterparts, but also Wario and Waluigi) would play multiple characters within the film as a sort of cameo. It wouldn't be surprising if these 'multiple characters' are Wario and Waluigi, altough that is yet to be seen. D2Owiki (talk) 16:07, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 29 November 2021

I have seen a lot of vandalism reports this page has been getting, and keeps getting semi-protected until days like 5 times already. If you redo it again, no date shall be selected. AVeganKid (talk) 02:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Ehh, I'm going to take that back. On Wednesday when I hopefully get access to the extended-confirmed user access, I will just extended-confirmed protect the page instead by myself. AVeganKid (talk) 07:32, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Keep protected

Just letting you know, there's an IP hopper still trying to add the TUFF Puppy reunion into the cast, over at List of American films of 2022, which I think they're trying to get away with because it's not protected and the sources over there prioritize release date over casting (which makes sense, but still). I'm glad to see I've at least been handling it properly--CreecregofLife (talk) 19:14, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Release changed

FYI, before there are possibly some unsourced changes here... movie release has been moved to April 2023. Magitroopa (talk) 01:03, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 3 July 2022

For the title to be changed from "Untitled Mario Film" to "Untitled Super Mario Bros. Film" as that's the placeholder title that has been listed on the Universal Pictures Website for upcoming movies, an official source hasn't called the movie "Untitled Mario Film" FlumingoWiki (talk) 22:03, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: page move requests should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:22, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

A new title??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHfKm0qZtDE

According to this YouTube video, is it true that Super Mario Bros. will be the film's title? FlapjackRulez (talk) 03:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

WP:CRYSTAL. A posting on one of the animation companies working on the film does not definitely confirm a title. Wait until a reliable source confirms the name of the film. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 15:11, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

@ThomasO1989 the Nintendo Direct announcement confirms the title Serouj2000 (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

They could just be referring to it as the "Super Mario Bros film" because it's the one they announced it as. Best to wait. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:26, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Change the "Untitled Mario Movie" to "The Super Mario Bros. Movie"

Nintendo put a live stream that's going to be on October 6, 2022 and it says Nintendo Direct: The Super Mario Bros. Movie meaning Nintendo gave a official name to the movie so please the Wikipedia article's name because has a name now Himyfriends123 (talk) 20:28, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

• Wait there is no hurry to change the page's name, either wait for the Direct or until an official/reliable source confirms the name

-Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound 20:35, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

ok Himyfriends123 (talk) 20:45, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

And they could be referring to it as "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" because it's a movie about Super Mario Bros. (they're most likely not referring to the film Super Mario Bros. (film) which was most likely very loosely based on the games) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 21:37, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Yeah. I agree with @Gouleg:. Let's wait until October 6, when the trailer comes out. ZX2006XZ (talk) 21:37, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Worth noting the official website domain is "thesupermariobros.movie" (as linked in the verified twitter account @supermariomovie) and the bottom of the site shows the following text: "Official movie site and trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. In Theaters 2023." Thanksolotl (talk) 03:22, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

This could just be a tentative name. However, it does occur multiple times in the page's source code in alt texts and JSON. The article title has already been changed on the Japanese Wikipedia, so maybe it should be changed here as well, as reliable sources have already picked the name up. HaiFire3344 (talk) 04:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn't in a hurry, so we can wait until the trailer release. We don't need to change the article title twice and have double redirects to fix. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 12:26, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

"We Are Born to Play"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L-QVlJzvyo Will it be true that the closing song for the movie be "We Are Born to Play" by Galantis ft. Charli XCX? FlapjackRulez (talk) 14:04, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

As far as we know, No. 'We Are Born to Play' hasn't been confirmed by any official or trustworthy source to be the film's closing song. There is alot of speculation that it would be that song, but right now the speculation remains as is. I guess we just have to wait and see the film to truly confirm it.

While its funny that mario's butt is smaller and there was some news about it I do not find that the information be relevant to the article RoseWaterSkies (talk) 14:19, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Official Title

As seen here, the official title for the film is The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Thus, I've reverted the edits regarding the "alleged title", because its literally official. DecafPotato (talk) 14:56, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Wait for confirmation on the date of the reveal. It could just be a placeholder they're using until they can reveal the actual title. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:58, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Obviously no page move because that's unnecessary fixing in case it changes, but given this is the new WP:COMMONNAME, I don't see a reason to not include it in the main body. DecafPotato (talk) 15:00, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

How is it already the common name if they literally only just started calling it that? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:01, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

You could argue that "Untitled Mario film" was never the common name, and this is the first time there has been any consensus over what to call it. I don't know exactly what policy to cite, but I know it's there, but fan terms (like the current article title) should only be used in place of an official title if it is undoubtedly the common name (e.g. Superman 64), in which case this is not. DecafPotato (talk) 15:08, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry. "fan terms" isn't the best phrase, but, like whatever "untitled __ film" is (like "Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" instead of "Tears of the Kingdom" DecafPotato (talk) 15:10, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

In that case people just referred to it as the BOTW sequel or BOTW 2. Neither of which were used in the article. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:11, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

The article was titled "sequel to TLoZ BotW" prior to the announcement of "Tears of the Kingdom" DecafPotato (talk) 15:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I think it was actually Untitled Sequel to BOTW. Let me look. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:35, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

From the article history:

ThatOneGuyThatLikesPortal moved page Untitled The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

So yeah, was "untitled", similarly to this movie. In any case, I've created "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" as a redirect to this article, we can move the article there if it goes by that title come tomorrow. DecafPotato (talk) 15:57, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Ehhh.... that might need to be different since it could be confused with Super Mario Bros. (film) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:54, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

redirect notice hatnote added DecafPotato (talk) 16:59, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Usually people won't refer to films that aren't released by "Untitled X film". They just refer to it as (For example with Minions cause that's all I think of for some reason) the "new Minions movie" ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:11, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm not so sure if that's the offical title or just a placeholder until the actual announcement. Ive noticed a lack of logos for the movie, perhaps this is because it has a different unannounced title? We can't be sure until the presentation tommorow. Nintentoad125 (talk) 14:59, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

The introduction section repeats itself

The second part of the introduction section repeats itself in the production section, specifically at "Following the commercial failure of the 1993 film" 201.151.27.242 (talk) 12:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

That's cause it's the lead. It mentions things that are in the actual article. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:10, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Title confirmation.

@Gouleg: @Blaze Wolf: Get a load of this: https://twitter.com/dfffaz01/status/1577998494052352000?s=20&t=U7jm0WlkqGZRty8LExdgmw ZX2006XZ (talk) 13:31, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

@ZX2006XZ: By any chance are you dfffaz01 on twitter? -Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound 13:41, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

@Gouleg: I'm not dfffaz01. @Blaze Wolf:, if you look at the picture, you should see something called a "kids surprise & delight program" from McDonald's. The logo for the Mario Movie, Mario himself and Peach are in the January section of the picture. ZX2006XZ (talk) 13:44, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Oh. We should still wait until the trailer since it could have been faked. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:47, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

My bad, thanks for clarifying. I agree with Blaze Wolf btw, no much hurry until the Direct properly confirms the title -Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound 13:56, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

So why has someone moved the article to "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" when the title has not been confirmed by official sources? -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 18:42, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I'll move it back since it goes against consensus here on talk. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:43, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! I’ll be on the Nintendo direct to see what is going on. I’ll let you guys be notified when it comes out. Wolfquack (talk) 18:48, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I will (hopefully) be as well. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:49, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I’m not usually (if ever) this hyped for a trailer or Nintendo Direct, but I’m honestly extremely hyped for the trailer. Wolfquack (talk) 18:50, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm usually hyped for Nintendo Directs but I'm extremely hyped for this one. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:54, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

TBH I’m less concerned about the name of the movie and more concerned to whether MatPat is going to be right about the plot of the movie. Wolfquack (talk) 19:06, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I kinda doubt it considering he himself says "But hey, that's just a theory, a Game Theory" meaning he's literally just guessing based on information given. But you never know. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:12, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Wait a second, I just noticed that the Nintendo direct says “The Super Mario Bros Movie”! Wolfquack (talk) 18:54, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

We're aware of that, however it could just be a temporary title before they confirm the actual one. We are waiting until they explicitly say it in the Direct (and if they don't then I guess we can just move it to that title). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:55, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Good point. I’ll keep that in mind. Wolfquack (talk) 18:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Untitled Mario film → The Super Mario Bros. Movie – Official title, as described in the announcement for a trailer DecafPotato (talk) 03:56, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Steel1943 (talk) 19:24, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

There are currently no references or mentions in the article that validate this claim. But besides that, there doesn't seem to be anything preventing you from moving the article since the article isn't move-protected and I'm assuming you are autoconfirmed. Steel1943 (talk) 05:09, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

It says I need to be extended-confirmed, and I'm at, like 470 edits. But I'll add some references. DecafPotato (talk) 14:10, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Ah yep, I see it now: moving requires and extended-confirmed editor. I'm still concerned about the "references or mentions" issue, so I'm going to move this to the "contested" section. Steel1943 (talk) 17:07, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

@DecafPotato: Ping requester to let them know the discussion has moved here. Steel1943 (talk) 19:24, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I'd wait for a move to commence. Best to wait until an official source is given. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 19:28, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

• Wait for them to announce it in the direct. See the above sections relating to this. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:31, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

  Just as a note, if they announce it as such in the Direct then I am in full support of the move. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:41, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

  Annoyingly, because people couldn't wait for the Direct to actually happen we have to go through this process instead of moving it as soon as the title was confirmed. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:50, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

  They have just confirmed the name in the recent Nintendo Direct. GooseTheGreat (talk) 20:12, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

  ALright. Should we just move it then or wait for this RM to elapse? Since the consensus prior to this was to wait until the Direct. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

• Wait per Blaze Wolf, this is probably the official title based on a recent leak but it should only be moved once the Direct confirms it. HaiFire3344 (talk) 20:11, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

The direct confirmed the title to be The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Inkster2 (talk) 20:13, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support The Super Mario Bros. Movie I also saw the Direct and believe it's time, and we don't need a parenthesis descriptor as it's the only film titled as such. aeromachinator (talk to me here) 20:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Now, it's even more confirmed, it even has a logo Serouj2000 (talk) 20:15, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Do we need the disambiguator of "2023 film" or would the word "The" be enough? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:19, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Actually, It shoudln't be needed since this is technically a different title than the 1993 film. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Needs information on positive reception to Pratt's voice

Yesterday I attempted to add that a portion of the fans reacted positively to Pratt's Mario voice, but I couldn't find any "reliable" sources. The size of the positive reaction is far from negligible, so I think this warrants a mention. Can someone help in trying to find a good source for this? (The LA Times source doesn't work for this as it doesn't offer any opinions on the voice outside of the moviemakers themselves.)
