I suppose that one way to resolve a plot hole is if the story begins with Bowser escaping from Peach's Castle (courtesy of Kamek's assistance), while Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are having dinner with Mario's family. When they learn of Bowser's escape (the Toad General would show up to deliver the bad news), Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad would return back to the Mushroom Kingdom, but they would come across a Yoshi Egg beforehand.
I'm confident they'll still have plenty of elements from other games to represent them. Not every single platforming Mario game needs an entire movie dedicated solely to adapting its specific adventure since most, when you disregard gameplay, are just the same thing with minimal thematic twists. Bowser kidnaps Peach and Mario has to rescue her. In that sense Galaxy is probably the only one that's thematically unique enough to stand on its own as a movie adaptation. Other than maybe Sunshine. They already took liberties with the SMB movie by making it a Luigi rescue instead. But I really think only dedicating full adaptations to the heaviest hitters in terms of story and spectacle is the way to go. I'm expecting Sunshine to be represented here thanks to Bowser Jr having a big role in Galaxy, so they'd need to properly introduce him and it would be strange to take nothing from the game that introduced him. TBH if the second movie is already at Galaxy's scope, imagine where they could go from there (Super Paper Mario my beloved)
I don't think we have to worry about that. The first movie wasn't a straight adaptation, it was a new story remixing elements of many games to create an origin story for this new version of Mario. I expect the Galaxy movie to be the same. Galaxy elements will be a focus, a significant portion will take place in space, but it won't be a straight adaptation (Meladandri even said as much, that this would feature source material from a variety of games)
Hold on, that's the point of problem.
The first movie has nothing in common with the actual stated lore of Super Mario Bros. 1 other than the broad idea of Mario going on a quest in the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue someone from Bowser. Not even who that is is taken from SMB1 though, as it's Luigi instead of Peach, and Bowser isn't trying to harness Peach's magic to rule the world nor is he turning Toads into bricks, he instead is trying to marry her and then rule the world. This movie starts off in Brooklyn, involves Donkey Kong in its plot and even has a Luma. In terms of accuracy to the story of that one particular game, it's just as different as the 93 movie. The only difference is the 2023 film strives to portray the world and characters faithfully to what you would expect based on the games, with liberties taken being much more subtle. There is no game that matches up with its story though. So if the Galaxy movie is treated similarly I absolutely expect plenty of characters/moments that pull from games other than Galaxy.
Hiya,
It's a good thing TDfan that you said that, That's the thing that pissed me off the most because I thought it was going to be the thing where you know how female voice actors voice little kids or even have ACTUAL CHILKDREN like what they did to the luma to voice BJ which is a good thing HOWEVER, we got a grown man voicing A YOUNG (10 I think) child character which is disgusting in which he sounds like he's gone through puberty real fast although he's young. I had to turn down the volume on my phone when I heard that voice because it feels like nails on a chalkboard.
They did in the game too. Only certain Launch Stars appeared from Lumas.
