In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Mario and Luigi are plumbers from Brooklyn who get thrown into the world of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. While in this world, they are separated, and Mario meets many new people: Princess Peach, the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom; Toad, an adventure-seeking mushroom; and Donkey Kong, heir to the Jungle Kingdom throne. While on a quest to find each other, they will face off against the terrifying fire-breathing leader of the Koopas, Bowser.
Seth Rogen: Luckily for me, there [were] probably not a lot of specific expectations as to what Donkey Kong would be like. I think maybe more broad strokes. He throws barrels, [and] he doesn't like Mario. That's kind of what you know about him, and I really ran with those two ideas, honestly. I was looking for just a joke I thought would be funny throughout the course of the movie.
Seth Rogen: I think if you've never heard of Mario, it does a good job of creating a self-contained story that introduces the world and all the characters. And I think if you're like me and you grew up with this stuff, it almost creates a story that it seems like it's been there the whole time, but it really hasn't. It intuitively gives you the version of this that I think you've always wanted.
Seth Rogen: I wanted to do the Donkey Kong rap. To me, that was very important as both a rap fan and a video game fan. That's a cornerstone. Donkey Kong Country, I really did love that game. And it's funny looking back on it because it look is not great by today's standards. But at the time, it was mind-blowing, the movement and how fast it was. It felt like a huge leap. I think there's probably more from Donkey Kong Country to mine one day.
