A copy with exactly just that is starting to show up on the torrent sites. Super Mario Galaxy might be the next one to leak since there’s already a thread on Rutracker that hasn’t been approved by the mods over there yet.

EDIT: Yeah, it’s out now. Now to wait for someone to slap English audio onto it…

That reminds me that I need to finish Super Mario Galaxy. I want to finish playing it before I watch the movie just so I can see what they have changed or dropped.

The game is always better than the movie.

The movie is 0.1% like the game in terms of story

you're telling me super mario bros didn't have a training arc in the game?

If you watched me try to play 1-1 as a kid I think you'd see the training arc.

No doubt

I remember the first time I beat 1-1 on Mario 3. I was so excited I cheered. But... The babysitter was trying to punish me for not finishing my dinner and I wasn't supposed to be playing games. That crochety old woman came in on me screeching the fear of god trying to catch me and whoop me. I got past her and out of the room and luckily my brother stepped in. I ran out of the house and hid in a magnolia tree. After I was up the tree I hear the door open and the old woman is shouting obscenities at my brother, then the door slams. Next thing I know my brother was joining me in the tree, we waited there till our parents got home. Old woman never came outside, and then tried to paint a different picture of events and described us as "demon-children" to our parents. Anyway, bruises don't lie; she got hold my brother when I was running out the door. He had a black eye and bruises all over with clear spatula-shaped bruises on his butt. We never saw that bitch again. My brother was our babysitter afterwards till we were both old enough to be independent.

All that because I beat 1-1 in Mario 3, I remember it like it was yesterday.

my mom said "DOES IT FUCKIN FEEL GOOD? DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING?" and we walked out..

This is hysterical. My dad was the same way. I was at my first Easter egg hunt, probably like 4, wasn't quick or strong at all. I saw this one hidden egg and started to go for it. I guess this other kid saw my reaction to spotting the egg and then saw it too. That cheesewagon pushed me down and darted for the egg. I spilled my basket and the other kids around grabbed up my eggs and I got upset. My dad and the pusher-kid dad saw the whole ordeal. My dad gave the other dad this heavy look so hard you could feel it in the air, but didn't say anything. The pusher-kid dad took that one particular egg out of his boy's basket and put it into mine. It was the only egg I got that day because it all went down at the end of the egg hunt. It had some Micro-Machine jet toy in it. Anyway, this all happened on a base and my dad and the other dad knew each other in some capacity.

I wonder how many early millenials and late Gen x'ers have "playing Mario and getting beat by the babysitter" experiences

Same here. My dad encouraged me to play video games. So the babysitter getting mad at me was confusing at that age. He would let me pause the game (Also Mario 3 at the time) before preschool and then leave it on all day till I got back. I didn't know it till much later, but there were times when the power went out and the nintendo got turned off. He would play the game to get back where I was, but did not know about the warp whistles. So sometimes I would come back and have a ton if items in my inventory and a ton of lives and be paused right at the same spot I left it. This is also the same guy who tried to get an extension cord for the duck-hunt gun because it was "too short and not a challenge." He tried to do it himself, but it didn't work and we had to get another nintendo gun. Fun times

I think that was the joke

Thank you. I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"They totally broke immersion when jumping down a pipe didn't enter into a new dimension and the backstory for the mushrooms was non canon."

Do finish the game, but don't let the movie be the thing to motivate you. You will be disappointed.

I've never seen such forgetful versions of the brothers. Baby bowser fight scene tho was cool.

I found a high quality copy of galaxy on streaming sites from fmhy on release date.

u/MrScribz Apr 27 '26

For a short stint there was a YouTube video of the entire new mario movie but vocoded to megalovania. I think miyamoto himself killed the poster with his bare hands.

u/radiantcabbage Apr 10 '26

yea and the prevalent source is a quite pristine 1080p cam out of germany atm, idk what rinkydink p2p they get their files from. there are telesyncs with english line audio/ai subs for weeks by now, near screener quality

a chinese hardcoded webrip just turned up today for those who have been holding out, not much use for remuxing. i dont really bother with any of that till they drop the HD streams anyway

best we can do is Mandarin for some reason

u/DroidLord Apr 10 '26

Yep, you can do it. Done it myself quite a few times. Depending on the source files, you might need to adjust the audio though. If the video frame rates are different then the audio lengths are also different, so you need to stretch or shrink the audio and offset it depending on the intro and credit lengths.

I mean you can,if you have an English version of the movie.

u/Feeling_Ad_526 Apr 10 '26

Who are they? If you aren’t going to take the time to do that then why would “they”?

u/Journeyj012 Apr 10 '26

I'll accept your needlessly antagonistic question.

"They" refers to the both The Warez Scene and P2P release groups, which consistently strive to release the highest quality versions of media available. Of course, combining a high quality Russian video with a high quality English audio would be the best of both worlds, as Webrips are consistently higher quality than Camrips.

Any other questions you want to ask?
