Mario Galaxy Review

Welcome to Sketching Up, hosts Chris Schnabel and Matt Tornetta break down their full review of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie—from storyline issues and character usage to Easter eggs, Nintendo references, and what’s next for the Mario cinematic universe. They dive into major topics like Mario vs Peach as the lead character, the rushed pacing across iconic worlds like the Mushroom Kingdom and Galaxy, and the growing theory that Nintendo is building toward a Super Smash Bros movie universe. The conversation also explores standout moments, including Jack Black’s Bowser, Yoshi’s role, Rosalina’s underuse, and the introduction of characters like Star Fox, Pikmin, and R.O.B.—plus what Daisy’s arrival means for future films.
