Mario Kart: The Movie

Brilliant. Brilliant, I say. While you all are watching Hollywood trash like that District 69 and that Julie & Julia & Julio or whatever, I'm saving my movie money for Mario Kart: The Movie. It's got everything: drama, action, humor, romance, and even drug abuse. It's everything you could ever want in a film, and it's based on a videogame? *swoon*

This trailer for Mario Kart: The Movie comes to us by way of Dr. CoolSex himself, who tells us that this is the first trailer for the upcoming fan-made, live-action film. 

I have to say that I love the voice work. And Peach in a bikini? Nice touch. I look forward to seeing the final film. Please tell me that Luigi doesn't die.

What do you think, Destructoid?

The microphone used to interview Luigi in the beginning was a fucking television remote. Awesome.

Also, does Mario dump Daisy for Peach, or what?

And Mario and Waluigi are wearing the 8-bit ties from ThinkGeek at Luigi's wedding. Another awesome.

One more thing, the voices are done exceptionally well. The guy who's playing Toad did an ace job.

I thought the actress who played Peach was a little dodgy: she started with a bad Italian accent like Mario's, but then it changed to a...something accent. That was pretty bizarre, and hurt the presentation a little for me. Otherwise it was pretty good, definitely entertaining.

There are so many direct nods, between what Diverse pointed out and quotes, that it's making my fanboy parts tingle. I love that they worked Toad's "WAHOO" into it, especially.

Here's hoping for any exchange that involves a "My name's Daisy!"

That was the greatest live-action Toad in both the history and future of live-action Toads, ever.

My skepticism was met with awesomeness. Can't wait to see the final product.

Was that the movie or the trailer? All major plot points spoiled.

I agree with Zero Atma that the Actress playing Peach was off with her voicing, but otherwise this was awesome! That Toad was definitely FTW.

Toad should of been played by a kid.

But that was quite amazing.

It's called a road, it's called the rainbow road. It is a road that you go. And you'll know when you get there. It's a road that you go when you die.

Better than every other game to film production :)

Fan made stuff is always the best.

That was alright, but I think There Will Be Brawl is what I am looking for with any fan made mario movies nowadays. They have high production value, this, not so much.

A few things.

A) If Wario is the big baddie, why was Waluigi respectfully mourning at Luigi's grave with Mario?
B) Peach was kind of hot but couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.
C) Toad was awesome, and he nailed the voice.
D) Wario creeped me out. That's probably what they were going for.

Overall, pretty good!
