Plot

Begins with Charles Martinet narration as he goes through the different jobs Mario had before joining the wrecking crew
He fights Donkey Kong and saves Mario in the “real world” (still animated) “New Dino City”
Fight apparently choreographed well and fast paced
Mario gets the golden hammer in the fight
Mario is famous in the present
After hearing repots of gorillas and turtles fighting, he goes into the sewers to investigate
Lots of gorillas underground; some are partying, others playing drums
Mario runs into an older “cranky” Donkey Kong and tries to communicate, but can’t since he can’t speak gorilla
Both end up falling through a pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom
First song of the movie has Bowser singing and we see his younger years plus his desire to take over the kingdom
Bowser then kidnaps Princess Peach, blows up Mushroom Kingdom, and heads for his ship
Mario and Captain Toad go on a journey to stop Bowser
Second “song” is about plumbing
Luigi is worried since Mario has been gone for awhile and investigates in the sewers
He ends up in Mushroom Kingdom; specifically “Forbidden Forest” and meets Yoshi
Mario fights Bowser and is defeated
Kamek drops Mario off the ship into the Forbidden Forest, and he meets up with Luigi and Yoshi
They get new costumes with their iconic colors and go back to Bowser’s Castle
Eventually they encounter three “Bowser Clones” that mostly tell joke and shape-shift into a gross combination of enemies after being defeated
Before the final battle, there’s a song where essentially everyone sings, including Toads singing about saving the princess, Mario and Luigi about not losing hope; Bowser and Peach argue to the beat of the song
Kamek gives Bowser a Mushroom which causes him to grow; Bowser chases Mario and Luigi through a pipe maze across different locations such as a desert, ocean, forest, cloudy area
Fire Flower and Super Star power-ups appear during this, but not anywhere else
Yoshi fights with Kamek since they have some history; Kamek uses his wand to alter the environment and such
The last bit of the chase has them tricking Bowser to go into the last pipe and end up in his own lava pit
Mario decides to start up a plumbing service in the Mushroom Kingdom
Post credits scene is Bowser’s skeleton
