Set in a dystopian parallel universe called Dinohattan, this live-action adaptation reimagines Mario and Luigi as two hard-edged Brooklyn plumbers who stumble through a dimensional rift into a city where humans evolved from dinosaurs. They ally with Princess Daisy to topple a tyrannical King Koopa and rescue her, navigating mutation, fashion, and oversized neon, blending action, fantasy, and comic satire in a bold but divisive screen version of the video game.
