Here’s an overview of the Super Mario Bros. Movie:

But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.  With the assistance of a Mushroom Kingdom resident Toad (Keegan-Michael Key, The Lion King) and some training from the strong-willed ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy, The Queen’s Gambit), Mario taps into his own power.
