Finally, there is a stone pillar followed by some Koopa Troopas walking down the stone stairs before the flagpole. In the row of blocks afterward, there is a Coin Block in the second block from the left. Next is a set of stone stairs with Little Goombas walking down them, followed by a group of blocks and enemies, with the bottom-right ? Block containing a power-up. A jumping board afterward can help the player get over the Brick Blocks ahead, and the right-most block on the top row has a beanstalk that leads to Coin Heaven. In the second ? Block on the block formation with the Hammer Brothers is a power-up. In the left-most block of the Brick Block formation afterward is a Starman, that can make getting through the Hammer Brothers up ahead easier. Across a gap and some pipes (the second of which leads to an underground area with some coins and another power-up, and exits out to the fourth pipe) is a bridge with some Little Goombas, and above the bridge is a Hidden Block with a 1 up Mushroom. The player starts off next to some ? Blocks, with the right-most block containing a power-up, and Koopa Paratroopas jumping toward the player. Playing in the arcade machine is Giuseppe, an energetic character dubbed by Charles Martinet, who’s the voice of Mario and Luigi in the video games. The pizzeria also has a “Jump Man” arcade machine which spoofs 1981’s Donkey Kong, the first game ever to feature Mario, who still didn’t have a name and was called Jump Man. Inside the pizzeria, we can see framed photos of several fighters from multiple Punch-Out games, but there’s also a picture of a duck flying from the grass that references Duck Hunt, the classic NES game in which we used a laser gun to shoot at our TV screen. The movie begins at the Punch-Out Pizzeria, a fictional place that nods at the Punch-Out!! gaming franchise. That doesn’t mean this section of the movie isn’t filled with Easter eggs since we can see Nintendo’s influence everywhere we look. Movie begins, Mario and Luigi are still living in Brooklyn, unaware there’s a magic kingdom populated by living mushrooms and terrifying turtles.
