The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has become a major commercial success, grossing over $940 million since its April 1 release and ranking among the highest-grossing video game movies. Keegan-Michael Key voices Toad and describes the commitment as exciting rather than overwhelming. He says the work creates a strong sense of care for the franchise, driven by Nintendo’s iconic history and Illumination’s involvement, along with Universal’s role in releasing the film. He expresses enthusiasm for the Nintendo cinematic universe and hopes to see more backstory about the Mushroom Kingdom, including life before Peach and the reasons behind its nurturing way of running the world.
"I will tell you straight out, I am not overwhelmed by the commitment. I am thrilled by the commitment. I never knew that this was going to be part of my professional journey, and I am absolutely over the moon about it."
"Also, it makes me feel a great deal of care for the product--for the franchise. It's such an iconic historic product from a very iconic historic company. Now I feel this intense loyalty to Nintendo and also to Illumination. They're two really amazing companies. And to Universal for going, "We're going to be the ones who are going to put this out here." Everyone says [they're] honored, but I'm honored. Really I'm thrilled--I'm thrilled about it more than I'm even honored."
"This is very self-serving, but I would love to see more of the history of the Mushroom Kingdom. Before Peach, what was that place like? How did people exist before this catalyst took place--before this entry of this other being into their world? Why are they so nurturing? Why do they run their lives and their world this way? I would love to see that."
