One of the highlights of the delightful Super Mario Bros. Movie was Jack Black’s performance as the power-hungry, love-sick King of the Koopas, Bowser.
The lovelorn tyrant isn’t just hellbent on ruling all the magical kingdoms of the Nintendo realm, he wants a wife. And he wants that wife to be Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy).
This is, effectively, the villain’s driving motive in the film, which is scoring big at the box office and making waves with audiences even if critics weren’t huge fans.
Bowser wants to marry Peach and will stop at nothing to make her his wife, but while this certainly sounds rather diabolical and evil, Bowser also has a soft side. Deep down, he wants to be loved and he clearly, genuinely thinks Peach is “so cool.”
Here’s the official music video for the ‘Peaches’ song:
And here’s the official music video with Jack Black instead of Bowser, directed by Cole Bennett:
Never change, Jack Black. Except for maybe into an alien or a robot if you ever do a Star Wars cameo again.
If you haven’t made it to the movie yet, you should go! It’s a lot of fun, and a brisk 90 minute cinematic feast for the senses. Just be sure to stick around after the credits roll.
Oh, and if you like hot sauce—and truffles—there’s a very on-brand hot sauce that you might want to check out, straight from the Mushroom Kingdom.
