Top Ten Mario Characters that Should Be in the 2022 Super Mario Movie
In the September 2021 Nintendo Direct, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the Mario movie was in production and planned for release in December 2022. They showcased the celebrities set to voice iconic Super Mario characters such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Kamek.Now, I'm wondering which other Super Mario characters will appear on the big screen. Here is the list of characters that should be included in this movie.
Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur featured in video games published by Nintendo. He often appears as a sidekick and helper to Mario, playing key roles in many of Nintendo's most popular titles. Yoshi is especially well known for his appearances in the Yoshi's Island... read more He will definitely be in the second one, as we all know. If you watch after the credits, you'll see a Yoshi egg in its nest. There you have it! He'll be in the second film!
It is Mario's adorable dino companion, Yoshi. He is one of the most popular Mario characters of all time and is extremely iconic to the Super Mario franchise.
I'm surprised he has not been revealed for the movie yet.
Wario is a character in Nintendo's Mario series who was originally designed as an antagonist to Mario. His motives are driven by greed, and he will often side with whoever offers him the greatest reward. Although typically portrayed as selfish and mischievous, Wario has become a central figure in his... read more He is the greedy, pink-nosed, garlic-loving rival of Mario. Wario can add so much laughter to this movie with his gross and goofy personality.
Maybe he can be voiced by Jim Carrey!
Rosalina, known as Rosetta in Japan, is a major character in the Mario franchise created by Nintendo. She first appeared in the 2007 game Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii and later returned in its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, in 2010. Since then, she has been featured in many main-series Mario... read more I really want to see Rosie in the Mario Movie, but I would not be surprised if she does not appear at all. Hearing the revealed cast with characters like Foreman Spike and Cranky Kong makes it seem like this movie is going to focus on the really old games like Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., and Wrecking Crew.
I would be very disappointed if the movie did not include later characters like Rosalina, Toadette, and Bowser Jr.
Bowser Jr., sometimes simply called Jr., is a video game character in Nintendo's Mario franchise. He is depicted as the son of Bowser, the primary antagonist of the series. Bowser Jr. first appeared in Super Mario Sunshine in 2002 and has since become a recurring character in both mainline and spin-off... read more Bowser Jr. is Bowser's only child and is usually always beside his father, helping him kidnap Princess Peach. Is this movie going to go down the Mario Odyssey route and leave Bowser Junior out?
Please, no. We want to see him on the big screen with his papa.
Toadette is a character in the Mario series. She is a female Toad who first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube game Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in 2003. Since then, she has appeared in multiple Mario titles, often as a playable character. Same with Rosalina, I really hope they include her and don't only include Mario characters that existed in the 1980s.
Kelly Marie Tran would be the perfect fit for this character.
This item counts for all the Koopalings. Because they are seven separate characters, I was not allowed to put them in one spot. Unfortunately, I doubt the Koopalings are going to appear in the movie because Nintendo doesn't really care about them anymore since they have Bowser Jr.
But come on, it would be cool to see them along with Bowser Jr. This could be the time to develop their personalities even more.
Waluigi is a tall, self-centered, and rough-around-the-edges character who is often portrayed as Luigi's rival. He frequently causes chaos in various Mario spinoff games, usually paired with Wario. While he acts antagonistically, Waluigi is not truly evil and often shows loyalty and affection, especially... read more Alan Tudyk, Jay Baruchel, Martin Short, Owen Wilson, Steve Buscemi, and Zach Braff are my top candidates for the voice of this awesome character.
Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, where she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland.Daisy debuted in Super Mario Land in 1989. After a few other appearances, she disappeared for nine years until she was brought back in Mario Tennis (2000).
Daisy... read more
Daisy is a great character and I hope she is voiced by Madelaine Petsch in the sequel.
Diddy Kong is a fictional character in the Donkey Kong Country video game series. He first appeared in the 1994 game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo. Diddy Kong is known as Donkey Kong's sidekick and is a playable character in several games. Since Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong are confirmed to be appearing in the Mario Movie, why not Diddy Kong? They can even go crazy and add Funky and Dixie, but I doubt it.
He was in the movie for, like, one second.
Pauline is a fictional character who first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong. She was originally introduced as the damsel in distress who must be rescued by Mario from the giant ape. Pauline has since reappeared in several Nintendo titles, including Super Mario Odyssey, where she serves as... read more Since she debuted back in the original Donkey Kong game, I guarantee that she is going to be featured in this movie.
In the Super Mario series, King Boo is the leader of the Boos and serves as a recurring antagonist. He is a ghostly figure depicted as a large white Boo wearing a crown, resembling the one worn by Princess Peach. King Boo often allies with King Bowser in attempts to thwart Mario and his friends... read more King Boo is honestly one of my favorites. As a heavyweight, he's a solid choice in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The way he sticks his tongue out for the victory lap is so goofy!
King Bob-omb debuted as a boss character in the 1996 video game Super Mario 64. He became a recurring boss in later spinoff games such as Mario Party 9 and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. He is known for his royal appearance and explosive attacks.
Goombas, known in Japan as KuribÅ, are a species of sentient mushroom-like creatures in Nintendo's Mario franchise. They first appeared in the game Super Mario Bros. released in 1985. Goombas are one of the most common enemies in the series and are usually defeated by being jumped on.

He is said to possess all the powers of the other six Koopalings, including cloning, causing earthquakes, teleportation, and shooting... read more

Larry Koopa is the youngest of the Koopalings. He first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, which was released in North America in 1990. Larry is recognized for his blue mohawk and mischievous personality, and he was created by Nintendo as one of Bowser's seven loyal minions.
Morton Koopa Jr. is one of the seven Koopalings in the Super Mario video game series by Nintendo. He is typically depicted as one of Bowser's children, although this relationship has varied in different game iterations. Morton is recognized by his large build, gray skin, and distinctive star-shaped... read more
Roy Koopa is one of the seven Koopalings, a group of recurring antagonists in the Super Mario video game series. In the DIC Entertainment cartoons, Roy is referred to as Bully Koopa. He has a tough-guy personality, wears hot pink sunglasses, and often sports pink clothing, which may be a nod to the... read more
Donkey Kong Jr. is a video game character introduced in the 1982 arcade game Donkey Kong Jr. He is the son of the original Donkey Kong and the protagonist of his debut game. The character has appeared in various Nintendo games since then, including racing and sports spin-offs. He is a good character in Mario Kart and Mario Kart Tour.
Kamek is a recurring enemy character in the Mario Bros. franchise. He frequently appears in titles such as the New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. series, often casting spells to hinder the player's progress. He is a Magikoopa who typically serves as an assistant to Bowser... read more I really do hope he is in the new movie. I would love to see what the movie would do with him.
Koopa Troopas, or simply Koopas, known in Japan as Nokonoko, are a fictional race of turtle-like creatures from the Mario series and its sister Yoshi series. They most often appear as common ground enemies. Over time, Koopa Troopas have become one of the most recognizable and recurring enemy types in... read more

In later appearances, this backstory was largely... read more
