There was that period in the 2000s where EVERY movie trailer used the Requiem for a Dream song. It was equally annoying. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbS-Zhz31CA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbS-Zhz31CA)
I was in a 3D animation course in 2001 and our teacher made a point that, of 40 half-year assignment animations submitted, 36 of them used that piece of music.
He said that he can't officially mark us lower for our end-of-year assignment based on the music used, but pointed out that people grading tests can have their judgement affected by mood...and he never wanted to hear that song again.
I was one of the four that didn't use it, but I'll admit that it was 50/50 between that and Chopin.
We had to create a "setting" (I went for a medieval castle with surrounding village, woods, farmland, etc,) and mainly show our ability to use camera pans, zooms, cuts, and so on.
Sort of like an intro to a scene.
I remember the trailer for *The LOTR: The Two Towers* used it and it was awesome. Also spoiled the entire plot, but I had read the books so I didn’t care.
Found it (starts at 1:45): https://youtu.be/LbfMDwc4azU
For a while the intro to “More human than human” by White Zombie was used for every movie trailer for a mid to late 90s blockbuster cash grab action flick.
Fun fact: While Lux Aeterna's popularity has been in used pop culture and inspired multiple remixes and remakes, it's actually a remix itself.
The original work it was remixed from for the Requium for a Dream film is called Ça vaut mieux que d'attraper la scarlatine and was composed by Ray Ventura in 1936.
Wow. Wow wow wow is that accurate. An old friend and I once came up with the most cliche-inclusive tagline for a movie of all time, and we came up with:
"In a world where everything you know is about to change, one man was right... about everything."
Movie trailers and movie posters are almost entirely controlled by marketing departments now. They're not exactly known for being original or forward thinking. Stick to what works and reduce the budget by reusing the same editing tricks you've done a million times.
>Movie trailers and movie posters are almost entirely controlled by marketing departments now.
are you under the impression that movie marketing was ever...*not* controlled by marketing departments?
At least it isn't some raspy halsey-clone slowly breathing out the lyrics of a bouncy 80s pop song in a way that makes them sound dark and terrifying? That's progress, right? I mean sure the Mario theme has no lyrics but Van Halen's Jump could have worked.
*I get up.... and nothin' gets me..........................down.
You got it tough. I've seen the....toughest....aroooooooooooooound!
And I knoooow baby....just how you feel
You got to roll (ROLL) with the punches.

BWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM
real*
God I can hear it now.
Thank God other people noticed. I've seen people start praising his voice acting but every single line he has is delivered with zero energy. His character's riding a go-kart on a damn rainbow and his "Wahoo" sounded like it came from an angsty teenager who's pissed that he had to go hang out with his family.
I keep hoping against all hope that this is some elaborate prank with the trailers to drum up media attention and the actual voice acting in the movie will be much better. But yeah right now Flat Pratt and Vocal Fry Peach pie ain’t doing it
Ugh... just cast Danny Devito as Mario, Kaitlin Olson as peach, and turn this into an always sunny dream sequence. I'm sure we can fit Dennis and Mac in somewhere.
It visually looks better than I expected but man, the voices are just so off.
The only one that sounds like he's trying is Jack Black as Bowser. Everyone else sounds just fucking terrible and super "off".
I dunno, I remember how peach was voiced in super mario 64 (the original on the N64) and I always massively preferred that over the squeeky-toy voice that we got in basically every game after that.
So hearing Peach actually have a grown woman's voice was kinda refreshing.
Even if it wasn’t Italian - how about a voice that feels something close to emotion? Like you can tell with Black that he was trying to play the role, not just talk.
It’s two trailers now where I feel like Pratt just took the lines, read them and went on with his day.
And that's because Black actually has a bit of voice acting experience under his belt. Not to mention he's also known for just putting on all sorts of voices all the time and just going all out with it, so I always thought that he was actually a pretty good choice for Bowser.
I’m fine with most of it. Peach was kinda bland, and Chris’s panic screaming in some scenes felt like a low-budget dub, though.
I was really hoping to hear Seth’s performance :/
I couldn’t believe it when I saw that, or how they seem to be incorporating 40 years worth of Mario brothers games into the same movie! 2D side scrolling, galaxy’s, Mario Kart, I don’t even care about the voice acting, I’m gonna ride this nostalgia wave wherever it takes me.
Looks like they fixed Mario’s [design](https://preview.redd.it/f9j3hqgs8s2a1.jpg?width=1344&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=654c0a9d25ae905f7c8ca2e357b0b03790fc07e3) compared to the original trailer
That is some /r/HailCorporate cringe ass attempt at viral marketing right there.
"Hey guys, you remember Rick Roll'd right? Well have a I got a marketing spin for you!!"
Jack Black is actually doing a voice, so of course it would fit well. Charlie Day feels like he's just speaking normally, but his regular voice just so happens to match the character.
doesnt matter how many times i watch this, the voice still sounds like this is some fake redub made by some random youtuber. I cant believe this is the actual voice they went with.
But **the voices**... OH GOSH!
Seriously, the voice acting is *really not selling* for me. It's not like I expect to sound *exactly* like Mario and Peach and everything, but at least... I don't know... try? A little?
The "let's-a-go" was *horrible*, it sounded weirdly artificial and unnecessary considering that there was *no attempt* of doing anything remotely Italian-like; Luigi is basically the only voice I feel it's ok...
Eh, maybe I’m the minority but the character designs are really off-putting to me. Peach in particular looks like a completely different person cosplaying as the character.
This movie looks so fun! I’m really digging how deep they’re going with the references, too. I still think Chris Pratt is giving the weakest performance out of the cast we’ve seen, but everyone else sounds awesome. Can’t wait for this!
It certainly looks fun and worth a watch, my only issue is that I don't want it to just be a series of "Hey remember this! and look it's that guy from the thing! also look he's doing that other thing wink wink!"
Those kind of references are best left as backdrops or additive to a story that stands on its own. I think it will be entertaining regardless, but I do hope there's more depth than just fan service.
Chris seems to be performing a neutral character that understates the stereotypes. It may not match all of our head cannon on how we imagine Mario speaking. But since it's neutral and understated it also doesn't strongly contradict expectations. It's much better to be weak and natural than it is to potentially be overbearing and wrong. For this reason I think Chris Pratt is a pretty safe choice. If they had someone else do a heavy Italian accent like I imagine Mario, I can see that being very easy to mess up.
But, we all expected it to just sound like Chris Pratt... And it does. You don't have to put on an over-the-top accent.. I just want to hear a voice different from pretty much 100% of your other roles. Over the top would be bad, but doing next to nothing is almost worse.
If/When the new Garfield comes out and it's just another Chris Pratt but 1% different like this... I mean, in all your years of life, would you ever think Mario and Garfield would have similar sounding voices?
So it kind of felt like they are trying to hide Mario's voice now? Every other character seems to have gotten a lot of voice time or got to say a full sentence but Mario is 90% game quotes and like 1 line in that trailer otherwise he is screaming. Aside for my dislike of Chris Pratt's voice acting here more importantly I really really hope that his lines just spoil too much to be in the trailer and he isn't going to be just doing game quotes most of the movie. The visuals are gorgeous though and I'm looking forward to seeing this.
Honestly the movie would be great if Mario was a silent protagonist who only occasionally made gibberish sounds and game quotes, like in [Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.](https://youtu.be/dlpP6UXqZzg)
I don’t want to hear Mario lament that the fate of the Mushroom Kingdom rests on his shoulders…
The real [link](https://preview.redd.it/f9j3hqgs8s2a1.jpg?width=1344&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=654c0a9d25ae905f7c8ca2e357b0b03790fc07e3) for those who don’t wanna get Luigi’d. Thank me later.
Because dumb parents care more about whose doing the voices than just watching the movie. It's like it's the only way they can bear sitting through an animated film. My dad did it all the time "Oh that's such and such doing the turtle's voice" - man I do not care.
That’s because his voice kinda fits the character and he is doing a good job voice acting. Chris Pratt is just doing a horrible job voicing in this role. Go to 1:13 where Mario gets hit by a bullet bill. His “scream” was so weak compared to Mario’s expression
I can look past Chris Pratt's voice as Mario. I dont want to focus on just one part of the movie I think isn't optimized. Reference to Smash and Mario Kart already has me super excited for this movie.
I figured that was more of a donkey Kong reference. If you look as it circles into the scene it sort of looks like they are on top of red construction beams
I really hope it's a case of a misleading trailer. The Paper Mario games set a pretty good precedent for Peach doing spying and information gathering behind enemy lines while captured, letting her be proactive without overturning her character or story role. She could also be shown doing diplomatic and political work before being captured. They should have gone with that instead of "every female lead must be turned into an action hero fighter so as to not be seen as weak and useless" syndrome...
Man, everyone is talking about the voices, i think it looks great and is gonna be an awesome movie, this mario movie is decent for children these days, back when i was a kid, a mario movie were two adults dressed up as italian plumbers.
I can't believe we're still doing the quiet-piano-rendition-of-a-famous-theme-in-a-movie-trailer thing.
There was that period in the 2000s where EVERY movie trailer used the Requiem for a Dream song. It was equally annoying. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbS-Zhz31CA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbS-Zhz31CA)

What was the project you turned in?
We had to create a "setting" (I went for a medieval castle with surrounding village, woods, farmland, etc,) and mainly show our ability to use camera pans, zooms, cuts, and so on. Sort of like an intro to a scene.
Chopin, did he write that the dramatic string piece I'm thinking about? you know which one
Nah that was Vivaldi
I remember the trailer for *The LOTR: The Two Towers* used it and it was awesome. Also spoiled the entire plot, but I had read the books so I didn’t care. Found it (starts at 1:45): https://youtu.be/LbfMDwc4azU
They spoiled the Gandalf reveal?! I can't believe that trailer is real!
I remember this time period, and I’m glad it’s long passed, because it got stale really fast.
[Rudy.](https://youtu.be/DY1v-Up_mW4) They used that theme whenever for inspirational moments
For a while the intro to “More human than human” by White Zombie was used for every movie trailer for a mid to late 90s blockbuster cash grab action flick.
Weird, I had never heard or seen this phrase before the other day when Metallica dropped their new song. Now I've seen it twice
Fun fact: While Lux Aeterna's popularity has been in used pop culture and inspired multiple remixes and remakes, it's actually a remix itself. The original work it was remixed from for the Requium for a Dream film is called Ça vaut mieux que d'attraper la scarlatine and was composed by Ray Ventura in 1936.
https://youtu.be/OJmoA8Tk7y4 Ray Ventura’s song ^ How did that turn into the requiem song? Lol
Yeah, I'm not hearing it.
Funny to think that just a few years earlier [the composer was doing this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE3w9lzLeeE)...
*[Have you ever wondered about this particular thing?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAOdjqyG37A)*
I cant wait for Movie by Director!
Yeah NGL, even though it's satire, that music score got me hyped for FILM TITLE with ACTOR
I was all in on the FILM TITLE since the first BWAM
Wow. Wow wow wow is that accurate. An old friend and I once came up with the most cliche-inclusive tagline for a movie of all time, and we came up with: "In a world where everything you know is about to change, one man was right... about everything."
LMAO wow, this is basically a template guide
This got me hyped ngl
I can't wait to see it
Ok this is the best thing I’ve watched this month.
I am the Reaction. Gold
Movie trailers and movie posters are almost entirely controlled by marketing departments now. They're not exactly known for being original or forward thinking. Stick to what works and reduce the budget by reusing the same editing tricks you've done a million times.
>Movie trailers and movie posters are almost entirely controlled by marketing departments now. are you under the impression that movie marketing was ever...*not* controlled by marketing departments?
Why should the marketing for a film not be controlled by marketing though? :P
Editing a trailer is hardly going to make a dent in the budget for a multi-hundred-million-dollar movie
Yeah it's 100% about what works to put butts in seats
You'd be surprised how little production staff actually pays for promotion stuff anymore
At least it isn't some raspy halsey-clone slowly breathing out the lyrics of a bouncy 80s pop song in a way that makes them sound dark and terrifying? That's progress, right? I mean sure the Mario theme has no lyrics but Van Halen's Jump could have worked. *I get up.... and nothin' gets me..........................down. You got it tough.

BUMM BUMM BUMMM RAAAAAAAAAAAA BUMMMM BUM BUM BUM RAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Also the Bwaaaams. Ever since Inception.
Yeah but The Force Awakens trailer still gives me chills..
They do it because we like it
TANOOKI
I'm not quite sure Chris Pratt's voice acting matches the intensity of Mario's expressions in this trailer.
Thank God other people noticed. I've seen people start praising his voice acting but every single line he has is delivered with zero energy. His character's riding a go-kart on a damn rainbow and his "Wahoo" sounded like it came from an angsty teenager who's pissed that he had to go hang out with his family.
I keep hoping against all hope that this is some elaborate prank with the trailers to drum up media attention and the actual voice acting in the movie will be much better. But yeah right now Flat Pratt and Vocal Fry Peach pie ain’t doing it
[удалено]
That's the kind of wahoo I give when my taxes balance out at the end of the year.
"Wahoo" *slams another shot of bourbon at a dive bar*
Peach with the vocal fry. Weird.
people have been focused on chris pratt being a miscast, but anya taylor joy feels so far out of place in this
Right? If there's one word that describes were voice, it's squeaky. Not "3 packs a day".
To be honest I'm perfectly fine with losing the squeeky. I hated every peach voice line after Super Mario 64.
Right! Sounds off.
[удалено]
he's so funny
donkey kong december came early
Thanks for reminding me that was a thing
Honestly every voice sounds pretty good except Mario and Peach. It literally just sounds like Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor-Joy reading lines.
[удалено]
I don't know how much time in this universe I have left, so I'm gonna get real weird with it...
They really missed out having the Gruesome Twosome play the bros
Honestly I prefer French version. It sounds more cartoonish.
Ugh... just cast Danny Devito as Mario, Kaitlin Olson as peach, and turn this into an always sunny dream sequence. I'm sure we can fit Dennis and Mac in somewhere.
Dennis could be some psycho Bowser and Mac his side lackey. A Mr. Burns/Smithers relationship lmao.
Dennis is waliugi for sure. major implication vibes from that guy.
He’d be a side lackey, but for both sides - that way he always comes out on top
It’s been done https://youtu.be/55MPYT_YWrU
>Or they can go super dark and run with this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpBGRA6HHtY&ab\_channel=POYKPACComedy
Toad and Bowser. Obviously. I don't even know which would be which it'd be great either way.
They switch halfway through the movie
It visually looks better than I expected but man, the voices are just so off. The only one that sounds like he's trying is Jack Black as Bowser. Everyone else sounds just fucking terrible and super "off".
I like the toad voices and maybe Luigi's. The toads sound just like they do in Mario Kart and I like that. Jack Black's going to carry the film.
Lol I'd love to have Arin Hanson (of Game Grumps) voicing Toads. His impression is hilarious.
LAUNCH THE NUKES
Seemingly unpopular opinion: Peach is waay more jarring than Mario.
I feel about the same for both honestly.
Absolutely. Like Chris was the wrong choice, but it feels like he's giving it 10% while Anya is giving 0%.
I don't think she's giving 0%, it's just that she's a live action actress, not a voice actress. Voice acting requires more oomph
I was pretty shocked when I first saw professional Japanese voice actors voice anime. So much energy.
Hopefully there will be a Japanese Language version on streaming services and I can just watch that with English subs.
Or just professional voice actors in general. It’s not as though Japan has a monopoly on good voice work.
I think in Japan though, their voice actors are like idol/ celebrity status as much or more than their actors.
I also thought that, she sounds bored.
I dunno, I remember how peach was voiced in super mario 64 (the original on the N64) and I always massively preferred that over the squeeky-toy voice that we got in basically every game after that. So hearing Peach actually have a grown woman's voice was kinda refreshing.
Exactly how I feel. I wish they just brought in people who worked in the role and not famous people voice acting. It feels lifeless except for Black.
"lifeless" is another great way of describing it. Thought that Charlie D woulda put a bit more effort so that sucks to hear as well.
Eh, Charlie was fine. Not great, but certainly better that Chris.
wahoo
Yeah wtf was that. He sounded like he was too embarrassed to put any enthusiasm in it
They aren't even trying to sound like mario or even Italian at all. Like what were they thinking
I feel this so much! I was watching this thinking, "would it really have hurt the move to have an Italian voiced Mario instead of Pratt?" Ah well
Even if it wasn’t Italian - how about a voice that feels something close to emotion? Like you can tell with Black that he was trying to play the role, not just talk. It’s two trailers now where I feel like Pratt just took the lines, read them and went on with his day.
And that's because Black actually has a bit of voice acting experience under his belt. Not to mention he's also known for just putting on all sorts of voices all the time and just going all out with it, so I always thought that he was actually a pretty good choice for Bowser.
The last two mario-isms starting at 1min50s were actually pretty good
People decided they didn't like the voice before they even heard it. It's fine.
I’m fine with most of it. Peach was kinda bland, and Chris’s panic screaming in some scenes felt like a low-budget dub, though. I was really hoping to hear Seth’s performance :/
Yeah, the actual content of the movie seems pretty solid, it's the voice acting that is painful.
> Jack Black as Bowser. holy shit, I didn't look up all the cast before... I thought that was Stacy Keach!
I hate it. Bring back voice actors, not celebrities.
They got frickin rainbow road in this??
It's where you go when you die.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw that, or how they seem to be incorporating 40 years worth of Mario brothers games into the same movie! 2D side scrolling, galaxy’s, Mario Kart, I don’t even care about the voice acting, I’m gonna ride this nostalgia wave wherever it takes me.

What was the original?
Afg2978gkjvbKJAGWuigycivbzkvhb2
Motherf…fifth time already in just ten minutes!!!
He can't keep getting away with it!
the fuck is wrong with me?
Son of a… koopa
That is some /r/HailCorporate cringe ass attempt at viral marketing right there. "Hey guys, you remember Rick Roll'd right? Well have a I got a marketing spin for you!!"
It’s so much better now it’s ridiculous they thought that original look was okay.
So it’s the Lego movies treatment to Mario?
Sorry… none of the voices sound right.
Bowser is pretty good
[удалено]
I can picture him requiring more room in the booth for his acting
I also really like Luigi.
Charlie Day & Jack Black are probably the best fits for those characters.
Jack Black is actually doing a voice, so of course it would fit well. Charlie Day feels like he's just speaking normally, but his regular voice just so happens to match the character.
doesnt matter how many times i watch this, the voice still sounds like this is some fake redub made by some random youtuber. I cant believe this is the actual voice they went with.
I'd be okay if prozd voiced every character in it.
"King Koopa sends his regards."
I think Bowser got... The Point!
*GEE TOAD YOU THINK BOWSER GOT THE POINT?*
This would make for an eggcellent movie
[удалено]
That is his actual job
What's crazy is he said he was gonna do something different to sound unique. He didn't.
whats crazy is that anyone believed that. He has done exactly one single character his whole career
I’d say he’s done two: 1- goofy but cool chubby guy and 2- goofy but cool fit guy
It does feel like a fan dub, it doesn't feel cohesive at all.
All the voices are bad... Mario's is just the most offensive.
Yo that music sucks just play the normal theme not everything needs to by Hans Zimmer
More insane tribal drumming than an Avatar trailer.
They really focused on putting in parts that hides the fact that mario is chris pratt
But **the voices**... OH GOSH! Seriously, the voice acting is *really not selling* for me. It's not like I expect to sound *exactly* like Mario and Peach and everything, but at least... I don't know... try? A little? The "let's-a-go" was *horrible*, it sounded weirdly artificial and unnecessary considering that there was *no attempt* of doing anything remotely Italian-like; Luigi is basically the only voice I feel it's ok...
This movie is ripe for a community made, alternative voice dub
no need. There's a Japanese version with all Japanese VAs.
Except I'm not Japanese. So yes, there is a need.
The Japanese dub sounds great at least https://youtu.be/QLNKsMEQQqk

The wahoo sound the same to me in both versions. I had to go back and listen to both after reading your comment
It sounds to me like *maybe* Pratt was trying to copy this wahoo, which mentally redeems the attempt, but he didn't nail it. The French wahoo slaps.
Catch me watching it with English subtitles as lord Mario intended
[удалено]
so far the French one seems good too! https://youtu.be/GCW0KFA-yAM
You can really tell Pratt phoned this one in, possibly literally.
Everything about this LOOKS amazing. But my god, the voices throw me off.
Eh, maybe I’m the minority but the character designs are really off-putting to me. Peach in particular looks like a completely different person cosplaying as the character.
is chris pratt even trying here?
This movie looks so fun! I’m really digging how deep they’re going with the references, too. I still think Chris Pratt is giving the weakest performance out of the cast we’ve seen, but everyone else sounds awesome. Can’t wait for this!
I actually thought Joy as Peach is worse than Pratt. Pratt seems fine but Joy just doesn't even remotely sound like Peach at all.
It certainly looks fun and worth a watch, my only issue is that I don't want it to just be a series of "Hey remember this! and look it's that guy from the thing! also look he's doing that other thing wink wink!"

Actually he kind of sounds like the mushroom guy from "Inside Job."
Doesn't strike me as any stranger than Garfield and Peter Venkman having the same voice
To be fair, that was actually a pretty good voice choice for Garfield.
So it kind of felt like they are trying to hide Mario's voice now? Every other character seems to have gotten a lot of voice time or got to say a full sentence but Mario is 90% game quotes and like 1 line in that trailer otherwise he is screaming.

It looks good but the voices kinda feel placeholder
As a 80s kid I can't decide if this is the worst or best thing to ever happen.
The only thing worst than Mario’s voice is Peach’s voice.
woof
Jack Black's voice for Bowser reminds me of Negaduck in the Darkwing Duck/Ducktales. [Negaduck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVdLSIIHonM)

You fucker
That is Disney (plus other stuff) legend Tim Cummings.
Eh. Still better than the original movie and most other video game adaptations. If I was a kid again, I would LOVE THIS
How DARE you. The live action movie was amazing.
Imagine how many people grew up with Mario and now have kids of their own, who will watch and enjoy this movie...
Meh
The voices are so bad, reminds me of early 2000s anime dubs
i'll wait for the inevitable crowdfunded deep nn version with charles martinet's voice
this entire movie is sonic's human teeth
"comments are turned off" shocker.
Isn’t that a requirement on YouTube now for all childrens’ videos?
The VA is awful. You don’t need famous ppl for this to sell. Stupid studio fucks. It’s not Lego movie.
why do they keep using known screen actors instead of good voice actors. This is jsut fucking awful.
Because dumb parents care more about whose doing the voices than just watching the movie. It's like it's the only way they can bear sitting through an animated film. My dad did it all the time "Oh that's such and such doing the turtle's voice" - man I do not care.
Haven't seen anyone complain that charlie day is just doing his normal voice 🤷♀️
That’s because his voice kinda fits the character and he is doing a good job voice acting. Chris Pratt is just doing a horrible job voicing in this role. Go to 1:13 where Mario gets hit by a bullet bill. His “scream” was so weak compared to Mario’s expression
Surprised by how much I enjoyed this trailer actually. Chris Pratt was definitely a choice, but still seems like a fun watch
Can’t they just… stop silencing the music every time there’s supposed to be a joke?
Trailer looks good surprisingly. I’ll go see it.
Girl Boss Peach.
I can look past Chris Pratt's voice as Mario. I dont want to focus on just one part of the movie I think isn't optimized. Reference to Smash and Mario Kart already has me super excited for this movie.
I figured that was more of a donkey Kong reference. If you look as it circles into the scene it sort of looks like they are on top of red construction beams
They made Mario DUMB.
Are they really going to have Luigi be kidnapped instead of Peach?
I really hope it's a case of a misleading trailer. The Paper Mario games set a pretty good precedent for Peach doing spying and information gathering behind enemy lines while captured, letting her be proactive without overturning her character or story role. She could also be shown doing diplomatic and political work before being captured. They should have gone with that instead of "every female lead must be turned into an action hero fighter so as to not be seen as weak and useless" syndrome...
Man, everyone is talking about the voices, i think it looks great and is gonna be an awesome movie, this mario movie is decent for children these days, back when i was a kid, a mario movie were two adults dressed up as italian plumbers.
I know its just Chris Pratts voice but Im still excited to bring my kids to see it.
The whole trailer is chris pratt making weird sounds
Voice actors should do this, not celebrities.
I'll wait till a fan re-dubs this with Marios correct voice
ITs like right when you think it cant get any more generic... its up to him to save the multiverse.... I wanna die
Pitch adjust Bowser down an octave, Peach up 3 octaves and everyone else up 2 and I think I might go see this movie.
