As a lifelong Mario fan, this movie is incredible. I went to see it with my 9 year old daughter who is also a big time gamer and we both smiled the ENTIRE TIME. You can truly feel the love poured into this project. I started gaming at 3 years old due to Super Mario Bros on NES and I lost count of how many Easter eggs there were for those of us that adore the series. My only complaint is that it was kind of short.
