As fans anxiously await the release of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is set to hit theaters on April 5, 2023, another exciting development has emerged – a pair of real-life Super Mario Bros. boots have been created to celebrate the film’s imminent release.
According to a viral Instagram post by Illumination Entertainment, the actual production house behind the movie, the boots have been hand-stitched to perfection and made from durable and high-quality leather for maximum longevity. The slip-resistant treads provide the ultimate support for Mario as he jumps and hurries his way through the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser’s clutches.
And to add another level of authenticity, the boots feature mushroom-based mycelium heel pads that give Mario a much-needed power boost when he is trying to defeat Bowser and his army. These boots are a one-of-a-kind prototype pair that captured every on-screen pixel of Mario’s iconic footwear.
The Super Mario Bros. movie has been in the works for a while, and fans are eager to see how the world of the famous plumber translates onto the big screen. Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic and produced by Christopher Meledandri and Shigeru Miyamoto, the movie features an all-star voice cast led by Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad.
As we wait for the release of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, fans of the iconic video game franchise can rejoice in knowing that a piece of Mario has made its way into the real world in the form of these stylish and durable boots. It’s the perfect way to celebrate MAR10 Day and pay homage to one of the most beloved gaming characters of all time.
