THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE is the story of a plumber who turns into a hero. Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) are brothers who start a plumbing business in Brooklyn, New York. They hardly get any calls to avail of their services and when they do, they create… a mess. Their family admonishes them for leaving their steady job to follow their dream. Both, however, decide to continue with their endaevour. One day, they learn that a manhole leak in Brooklyn leads to flooding on a street. Mario and Luigi reach the spot and go underground to find the source of the leak. In the process, they get sucked into a Warp Pipe and get separated. Luigi lands in the Dark Lands, ruled by the Koopa king Bowser (Jack Black). Bowser has recently won the ’Super Star’ and his aim is to capture the neighbouring Mushroom Kingdom and marry its princess, Perch (Anya Taylor-Joy). Mario, meanwhile, ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom. He meets Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) who takes him to meet Perch. Perch is overjoyed to see Mario as he’s a human just like her. She is aware that Bowser is on his way to attack her kingdom. She decides to head to the Jungle Kingdom and ask for King Cranky’s (Fred Armisen) help. She also asks Mario to join her on the journey and thereby help him save Luigi from the crutches of Bowser. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
