The trailer blazes through many iconic items, characters, and locations from the series, including Fire Flowers, karts, various familiar platforming hazards, the Tanooki Suit, and more. Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Toad, and Mario also get more speaking time. And while Donkey Kong doesn’t utter a word, Shigeru Miyamoto noted that the character was slightly redesigned to have a more comical look reminiscent of the original character.

The film stars Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike.
