Film Theory: Mario is IMMORTAL! (Super Mario Movie)

can't get "peaches" or the "dk rap" out of my head tbh

The fact “Peaches” might actually be able to get an OSCAR is absolutely legendary.

props to the team for not giving any visual spoilers and just recreating the scenes with their animation.

Bowser and Kamek seem to know what humans are (they refer to Mario and Luigi that way), and Toad also never seems confused by what Mario is, so I’d say it’s safe to assume humans might be common knowledge in the Mushroom kingdom. I don’t think that works as evidence that Peach isn’t human or has some astral knowledge.

I love how this theory discusses Mario's immortality for like 3 minutes then the rest is other things

We all just gonna ignore that Luigi single-handedly held off a Dry Bones army with a door, and blocked Bowser’s fire breath with a manhole cover? He might be a timid green guy, but he’s definitely not weak.

I love the theory of “not being able to get physically hurt in the mushroom kingdom” BUT something got overlooked… In the fight scene against D.K. you are able to see distinct scratch marks on D.K.’s face from Cat Mario so that could only mean one thing… You are only able to get physically hurt in the Mushroom Kingdom with the help of a power-up.

I'm suspecting that Peach this time around isn't Rosalina's mother, but in fact her daughter. I know, I know, it's crazy, but it does hold some merit. Stars and moons on her dress, the super-charged pipe, it all makes me think that Peach is Rosalina's daughter this time.

Love how the video is edited even without movie clips

The immortality aspect of the Mario world makes Lumalee's desire for death pretty interesting

The reason peach took mario on her adventure is because she's a nice person. That's all the motivation you need, and they also clearly liked mario and felt bad for them, therefor wanted to help them. So theres clearly some motivation to bring Mario there and you can't deny it.

man, the last mini theory makes me want a Kid Icarus movie so bad... Uprising was such an amazing game, and the characters would translate to a movie so well.

I think it's weird that King Boo appears during the wedding, but we never see another Boo in the entire movie. I think that's to hint at Luigi's Mansion in the future, and it would certainly balance out the brothers' screentimes.

I highly doubt the one theory about Luigi turning into a skeleton if he fell into the lava, while we see that fire can indeed turn a living thing into a dry bones, when the same skeleton zombies are chasing Luigi in the dark lands, he and the army of undead koopas arrive at one of Bowser's old castle with a lava river, Luigi manages to pass but a lot of the koopas who where chasing after him fall in the lava, we can see how the're getting disolve in the liquid rock and the glow in their eyes turn off, so as fire just burns your flesh but you keep living, falling into lava can be depicted as the "ultimate death"

Another theory abt how Mario didn’t die or didn’t get marks: So remember how peach is probably a star? It’s her protecting him.

I felt that Peach's reason for bringing Mario with her made sense in hindsight. Toad was literally the only Toad brave enough to go with her, meaning she was pretty much on her own for this adventure otherwise. Then she meets another human like herself for the first time that wants to go to save his brother. When Mario demanded to go, she gave him a day to complete a course to prove he wouldn't slow her down. She had already planned to head out to the Kong's island the next day. So she didn't spend any extra time on him. Basically, "Nobody else is going with me tomorrow, and then I meet the first-ever human aside from myself that wants to do it to save his brother. If he can complete this combat course showing he won't slow me down before I leave, he can come along."

I just imagined matpat sitting down in the movie theater, having a notepad just writing down possible theories.

Loved this movie, went into it barely knowing anything about it! But you know I was actually a big fan of the 80's music in it, I really enjoyed it, it's a pity it didn't seem like many did

im honestly really happy that, not only my favorite theories on game theory, but also the theories on my favorite game, are also some of yours. it means the content i like watching is the content you like making and that means both sides are happy.

I SWEAR. I was watching the Mario movie and I was thinking about a film theory that said Mario couldn't die or he is dead. Apparently my clairvoyance rivals only that of MatPat himself.
