The Super Mario Bros. Movie is now out in cinemas, and if you’re planning to go, you’ve likely already heard there’s something extra at the end of its credits.
Having seen the movie for ourselves, Eurogamer can now go into detail on what these scenes are – so, take this as your spoiler warning if you are going to see the film and don’t want to know what to expect.
There are actually two scenes to stay put for throughout the movie’s credits – one after the first set of credits (which end with a pleasing nod to former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata) and then the other at the very end.
Read on for details of both of those scenes – or head elsewhere to our spoiler-free Super Mario Bros. Movie review!
The first credits scene features Bowser, now trapped in a cage in Princess Peach’s Castle, still tiny after being shrunken down in the film’s main climax. On a miniature piano, Bowser plays a solemn reprise of his Tenacious D-esque rock ballad “Peaches”, before a Toad guard pokes him and tells him to stop. All-in-all, it’s a straightforward epilogue scene which establishes what happened to Bowser after the main ending – at least until he inevitably escapes in the sequel.
