The ‘Main Event’ of the Super Mario 40th Anniversary Being a Movie is an Absolute Travesty

For nearly four decades, Nintendo’s platform gaming has been exceptional, influential in culture, and pioneering in franchise development. Mario, the plumber, is their most renowned character, widely recognized across entertainment. However, not every Nintendo Direct announcement features Mario. But today, we commemorate a significant milestone: it’s 40 years since the release of “Super Mario”. The celebration, though, has an interesting twist: instead of a groundbreaking game or exciting adventure, it’s a movie that takes center stage to mark his anniversary.
