9 big questions about the 'Super Mario Bros. Movie' trailer

Washington Post - Technology News 

In "Super Mario Odyssey," there's a shadow version of New York City called New Donk City. Its humans are shaped like the humans of the real world. But it only emphasizes that Mario is not at all shaped like us, or any traditional human. Instead of looking like a normal man, Mario is shaped like a baby, except with a mustache. In the origin story written by Nintendo, and conveyed in "Yoshi's Island," we never witness the birth and parentage of Mario and Luigi. They are delivered to Yoshi fully formed as babies, except without their mustaches.
