Trivia: When Mario briefly walks by the antique store, a Toad asks if the gizmo he is holding works, and the shopkeeper in the background can just barely be heard saying the Toad might have to blow into it to make it work. This is a cute callback to the popular theory that blowing into Nintendo cartridges makes them work better, since it helps get rid of dust that could block the connectors... although it's not unanimously agreed that this actually works.

Continuity mistake: When Mario first consumes the Blue Mushroom, he emits a light that causes Donkey Kong to shield his eyes. However, later in the movie, when Peach forces Bowser to consume the same mushroom, no light is emitted. (00:49:15 - 01:21:22)
Princess Peach: There's a huge universe out there. With a lot of galaxies. They're all counting on us.
Question: Why is the Princess called Peach instead of Toadstool and why is the main villain called Bowser instead of King Koopa?
Answer: Maybe the Princess's name was already Peach, but she just hasn't said since she was a baby. And Bowser doesn't just have Koopas in his kingdom; he also had other things, like all the yellow guys called by the name of Yoshi.
Answer: "Princess Toadstool" was used in the original English-language manual, but she was Peach in the original Japanese, and that name continued in later versions, being combined with Toadstool. Bowser was originally called "Kuppa", but presumably the English-language version resonated more with people, plus removed any confusion of "Kuppa, King of the Koopas", so the English version stuck.
