The Super Mario Bros. Movie, produced by Nintendo and Universal, has achieved a remarkable feat by surpassing the $1 billion USD milestone, making it the first film of 2023 to do so.

The film is only the fifth pandemic-era movie to join the $1 billion USD club, along with other blockbusters such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World Dominion, and Avatar: The Way of Water. The Super Mario Bros. Movie had a massive opening weekend, grossing $204 million USD in just five days, the biggest opening weekend of the year and the second-biggest debut ever for an animated film. The film is currently the highest-grossing movie of 2023 and the highest-ever for a video game-based movie, surpassing the 1993 live-action movie that was considered a flop. The animated film features the voices of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, and Seth Rogen. 

 Here's The Super Mario Brothers Trivia:

  •     Super Mario Bros. was first released in 1985 and was the first video game to feature Mario, who was originally known as Jumpman.
  •     The character of Mario was named after Nintendo of America's warehouse landlord, Mario Segale.
  •     The popular game Super Mario Bros. was initially released in Japan as a sequel to a less popular game called Mario Bros.
  •     The original Super Mario Bros. game was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, who is also the creator of other famous Nintendo franchises such as The Legend of Zelda and Donkey Kong.
  •     The mushroom that Mario eats in the game to grow larger is based on the Amanita Muscaria mushroom, which is known for its hallucinogenic properties.
  •     In the original game, the clouds and bushes in the background were actually the same image, just colored differently.
  •     Mario's signature red hat and blue overalls were chosen by Miyamoto because of the limitations of the graphics at the time. The bright colors helped Mario stand out better against the game's background.
  •     Super Mario Bros. 2, which was released in Japan as Super Mario USA, was not originally a Mario game. It was actually a game called Doki Doki Panic that was rebranded with Mario characters for its release in North America.
  •     The original Super Mario Bros. game has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling video games of all time.
  •     Mario has appeared in over 200 video games since his debut in 1985, making him one of the most recognizable video game characters in the world.

Introduction to One Piece

One Piece is a story about Monkey D. Luffy, a pirate captain on a quest to find the legendary treasure known as the One Piece. Luffy gains rubbery powers but loses the ability to swim, and gathers a crew to sail the treacherous Grand Line.

Luffy's Adventure Begins

Luffy starts his adventure in Fushia, inspired by the pirate Red-Haired Shanks. After eating the Gum-Gum Fruit, he gains rubbery powers but loses the ability to swim. Undeterred, he gathers a crew and sets out into the treacherous Grand Line, a sea filled with dangers and mysterious islands.

Challenges and Locations

The crew faces challenges from the World Government, Warlords of the Sea, and powerful pirate captains ruling the New World. They explore thrilling locations like Thriller Bark, Enies Lobby, Skypiea, and Dressrosa.

Encounters and Allies

Along the way, Luffy meets a diverse cast of characters. He recruits:

  • Roronoa Zoro: A skilled swordsman aiming to become the best.
  • Nami: A talented navigator with a tragic past and a dream of mapping the world.
  • Usopp: A sharpshooter and storyteller.
  • Sanji: An expert cook and gentleman.
  • Tony Tony Chopper: A reindeer with a human form.

Alliances and Personal Trials

Throughout their adventure, the crew forms alliances with other pirate crews, creating the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, a formidable force united for freedom. These alliances are crucial in their battles against the Yonko, powerful figures like Big Mom and Kaido.

The Journey's Challenges

The crew faces numerous challenges, including the World Government, the Warlords of the Sea, and the Yonko. They uncover the ancient history of the world, the truth about the Void Century, and the significance of the Poneglyphs, ancient stone tablets leading to the One Piece.

Thrilling Locations Explored

Their journey takes them to thrilling locations like:

  • Thriller Bark: A haunted ship commanded by the eccentric Warlord Gecko Moria.
  • Enies Lobby: The World Government’s stronghold.
  • Skypiea: A floating island in the sky.
  • Dressrosa: A corrupt land ruled by former Warlord Donquixote Doflamingo.

Personal Trials and Determination

However, the crew also faces personal trials. Luffy’s determination clashes with the weight of his captaincy. Zoro pushes his limits while staying true to his honor. Nami seeks vengeance against her tormentor. And in the shadows, the Revolutionary Army plots against the World Government.

Conclusion

Through laughter, tears, and thrilling action, join the Straw Hat Pirates on their unforgettable journey as they chase dreams, forge bonds, and discover the true meaning of freedom. With each victory, the Straw Hat Pirates get closer to Raftel, the treacherous island where the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, supposedly hid the One Piece, said to hold unimaginable wealth, power, and knowledge to reshape the world.
