if i had to rate this? 7/10 cuz of sheer mario bias, but 5/10 for rosalina representation. {spoilers ahead, if you do not want to get spoiled, don't read} i can't help but feel like rosalina was represented poorly. it feels like she only got kidnapped by bowser jr to advance the plot, and had her power nerfed by 100 times, and that's not to mention her personality in the movie... it wasn't her. she wasn't nearly as calm as she is in the games, that elegance is not really there, that motherliness is replaced with the attitude of a cool aunt. although more calm than peach, still a bit too similar to peach it's really cool that we get slightly more lore on rosalina, such as the fact that her and peach are sisters (take that game theory/j) but is it worth her being done so dirty? in my opinion, i do not think so. now onto overall stuff about the movie, the cameos were CRAZY! fox, a split second of falco, game n watch and birdo. it really did feel 25% like a smash bros movie, like with mario up air being referenced, luigi doing the knee of justice and peach doing her side b. mario getting the red star against an ink version of the dragon from odyssey is possibly the coolest thing he's done. i loved every moment yoshi was on screen, very adorable and i got spider-man signs of coolness in fox's personality peach was super strong, portrayed much better than rosalina tbh and that's it. my deductions are based on rosalina's representation and also the one baby scene (probably my least favorite scene in the whole movie)
