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 ( Chris Pratt) and Luigi ( underrated voice actor Charlie Day) are still living in Brooklyn, unaware there’s a magic kingdom populated by living mushrooms and terrifying turtles.
