The heroes hurl green shells at their enemies, defy gravity like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and one Koopa Trooper even knocks out Mario as the dreaded blue shell. The whole scene is a spiraling and high-octane thrill ride with many references to classic racing games. The best part of the entire film, hands-down, is the battle between Mario and Peach’s army and Bowser’s army on Rainbow Road, which many gamers remember as the bane of their existence playing Mario Kart with their friends. Coincidentally, the first game for the GameCube was the spooky ghost-hunting classic Luigi’s Mansion, one of the best GameCube games of all time. This ringtone is the sound of the startup screen for the Nintendo GameCube in which the console’s logo forms from a small, purple cube. When Mario and Luigi get a call from the first customer of their new plumbing business, Luigi’s phone rings to a tune that should be familiar to gamers who grew up in the early 2000s. Donkey Kong even delivers what looks like his Giant Punch from the iconic fighting game franchise. The scene also features shots that could’ve been taken from one of the Smash Bros.
