It’s an aspect that could even be used to introduce Rosalina.

With her established as not being a native to the Mushroom Kingdom (having stumbled through a warp pipe as a baby) and no explicit confirmation that she comes from Mario’s world, the door is open for a self-discovery arc where Peach tracks down her family. There’s also potential for the sequel to further flesh out Peach’s backstory, which the movie only lightly touches on with a short flashback. It wouldn’t be the first time the brothers had to care for a baby Yoshi there’s an entire episode from the old Super Mario World cartoon with that very premise. If anything, with the egg hatching, it could be the reverse – Mario and Luigi escorting a baby Yoshi to his home island. This immediately points to Super Mario World and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island as the primary sources of inspiration for the sequel, since the former marked Yoshi’s game debut and the latter was his first starring role as the main character.īetween Luigi already spending most of the movie being Bowser’s prisoner and the movie’s role as an origin story, we can’t imagine a sequel being a direct adaptation of Yoshi’s Island. What’s more, none of the Yoshis that do appear are coloured green, no doubt a deliberate choice to make the sequel tease more special. While Yoshis did briefly feature during a travelling montage, no Yoshi character actively aids Mario on his adventure. Following Bowser’s defeat, we’re treated to one final shot of Brooklyn’s wrecked underground, where a lone green Yoshi egg is seen hatching, cutting to black as we hear the iconic Yoshi cry. Movie 2 – who will be in it?Īnyone who stuck past the credits will already have an idea about what the sequel will be about. (Early spoiler: Bowser loses.) The Super Mario Bros. Just a head’s up, we will inevitably be talking spoilers for The Super Mario Bros. So, with fans already speculating the future of the Nintendo Cinematic Universe, we offer our two cents on what Nintendo’s new future with Hollywood could mean for the company and audiences. Given how much money the movie’s raking in, it could very well influence Nintendo’s approach to making games too.
