The Mario Galaxy movie also kind of looks like the Mario Sunshine movie, the Mario Odyssey movie, the Yoshi’s Island movie, and so on.
Mario is a PC gaming icon, and yes, that stands for „personal computer“ and not „plumber chic.“ His best 3D platformer got a PC port back in 2020 thanks to a growing Nintendo 64 recompilation effort, and even if you don’t count that, his dogshittest game came to PC back in 1992. But I’m not here to talk about Mario. I’m here to talk about Yoshi.
Yoshi, Baby Mario’s foster father and adult Mario’s horse, is the headlining new character in the Super Mario Galaxy movie, which appears to be a neverending tapestry of references for theater-attending videogame players to point at and whisper, „I remember that guy“ to their spouses and/or parents.
