For instance, there’s a “Chasse au Canard” French restaurant that pays homage to Duck Hunt when Mario and Luigi go to the sewers. In other scenes, we can still see Nintendo’s influence in Brooklyn. The construction zone Mario and Luigi traverse also resembles the first stage of the game that would cement platforming as a video game genre. There’s also a Castle Burger joint shaped like the castles of 1985’s Super Mario Bros. Leaving Punch-Out Pizzeria and walking around Brooklyn, fans can also spot the Game & Watch guy on a truck. Playing in the arcade machine is Giuseppe, an energetic character dubbed by Charles Martinet, who’s the voice of Mario and Luigi in the video games. The pizzeria also has a “Jump Man” arcade machine which spoofs 1981’s Donkey Kong, the first game ever to feature Mario, who still didn’t have a name and was called Jump Man. Inside the pizzeria, we can see framed photos of several fighters from multiple Punch-Out games, but there’s also a picture of a duck flying from the grass that references Duck Hunt, the classic NES game in which we used a laser gun to shoot at our TV screen. The movie begins at the Punch-Out Pizzeria, a fictional place that nods at the Punch-Out!! gaming franchise. That doesn’t mean this section of the movie isn’t filled with Easter eggs since we can see Nintendo’s influence everywhere we look. Movie begins, Mario and Luigi are still living in Brooklyn, unaware there’s a magic kingdom populated by living mushrooms and terrifying turtles.
