Like many folks I spent some time this weekend at the movies, watching the new Mario Bros. film. I really enjoyed the film, and despite what the critics think so did many others. The film bought in over $300 million globally, opening weekend.
With that kind of money bringing the Brinks truck to Universal. Any day now there will be an official announcement another one is on the way. Now, Galaxy did a good job of adapting many components of different Mario games over the years. So I'm gonna predict what games may be inspiration for the next major adventure.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
So far in the two films, Mario has been on a rescue mission. A new film taking cues from 1992's Super Mario Land 2, could provide a new adventure and direction. It may would need to blend elements with the first Super Mario Land to achieve this mission.
However, the concept of Mario looking to obtain six coins to defeat the villain, could open up a web of good storylines. In taking inspiration from the game, could also be the introduction for Wario into the film universe.
Super Mario Bros. Sunshine
This 2002 Nintendo GameCube game was kind of adapted in the new movie. Bowser Jr. was first introduced in Super Mario Sunshine, and makes his film debut in Galaxy Movie.
The plot of sunshine is perfect for an adaption. The Mario Bros. and crew finally decide to take a vacation at the tropical Isle Delfino. Well the story can go many different ways, but its guaranteed to not be a fun time on the island.
Wario Land
Wario is Mario's second most known antagonist, and depending on how long Universal and Illumination make these films. He's bound to pop up in one. The next film could be that one.
Introducing Wario as the next big bad. His 1994 film followed him searching for treasure, to build his own castle. Not perfect material for a adaption, but the concept of Wario trying to take over something makes the name WarioLand credible. As the brothers try to stop him.
Super Mario Kart
Come on, everyone wants to see Mario and gang in go-karts on the big screen. While I would prefer a plot based around the bros driving go-karts throughout individual planets. I'll settle for a sequence at least being included in a film.
Blend some Fast & Furious style with Mario bros. and it'll be a fun ride.
Luigi Mansion
The Luigi Mansion games is probably the title in the game series, with the most hope for a adaption. Its honestly a pretty straightforward adaption, first released in 2001 on GameCube. The game followe Luigi on a quest to save Mario from a haunted house.
Luigi the more timid of the two has to confront some fears, navigating the mansion to save his brother. Thats the whole movie, make some silly but frightful ghosts. Some crazy quests in a enormous mansion. And release the film between late summer and early fall to tie into spooky season.
Thats money in the bank right there.
