OUR FAVORITE 'SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE' EASTER EGGS: GAME REFERENCES, CAMEOS & MORE

The Super Mario Bros. Movie was always going to be a gamer's dream. Put aside the all-star cast — Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and more — and you've still got the crack creatives at Illumination bringing their know-how alongside the Powers That Be at Nintendo.

That being said, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a feast for the Easter egg-inclined viewer. While the entire movie is itself one giant Easter egg where everything is a reference to Nintendo lore or Mario history, there are plenty of standouts. We here at SYFY WIRE put our thinking (mushroom) caps on while viewing and collected the below list of our favorite Easter eggs. Be on the lookout for them the next time you watch — because you know you want to relive the Mushroom Kingdom madness all over again.
