Transcripts

play00:00

one thing that's remained very

play00:01

consistent throughout almost every entry

play00:03

in the super mar Brothers series is that

play00:05

the King Koopa really wants to kidnap

play00:08

Peach and force her to marry him using

play00:10

that power he would gain to rule over

play00:12

the entirety of the Mushroom Kingdom

play00:14

sometimes this power grab happens off

play00:16

screen and the players have no

play00:18

indication of why or how this happened

play00:20

where today I thought it'd be

play00:22

interesting to fill in those gaps

play00:24

showing you all exactly how the princess

play00:26

is kidnapped in each and every game most

play00:28

of the times these are cut scenes that

play00:30

explain what happened but in a few

play00:32

instances you do need to dig a little

play00:34

bit deeper and do some extra research to

play00:36

figure it out for yourself and oh yeah

play00:38

before we get started with everything my

play00:40

name is Copycat and if you haven't yet

play00:43

then please subscribe to my channel

play00:44

hitting that Bell to stay notified when

play00:46

I upload new

play00:48

videos the very first game to come out

play00:50

in the franchise is Super Mario Brothers

play00:52

that was released for the NS in 1988

play00:55

where in playing the game it gives you

play00:57

no idea to how the events of it started

play01:00

need to actually read The Game's manual

play01:02

as it sets up the story for you nicely

play01:04

here the description of the game reads

play01:06

one day the kingdom of the peaceful

play01:08

mushroom people were invaded by the

play01:10

Koopa a tribe of turtles famous for

play01:12

their black magic The Quiet peaceloving

play01:15

mushroom people were turned into mere

play01:17

Stones bricks and even field horse hair

play01:20

plants causing the Mushroom Kingdom to

play01:22

fall into Rune the only one that can

play01:25

undo this magic spell is the princess

play01:27

toads AKA Peach the daughter of the

play01:30

Mushroom King unfortunately she is

play01:32

presently in the hands of the great

play01:34

Koopa Turtle king AKA Bowser somehow

play01:37

some way possibly in a different

play01:39

dimension Mario hears about the story

play01:42

and sets off at an adventure to rescue

play01:43

the princess which is precisely where

play01:46

our game

play01:48

starts the next game to be released on

play01:50

the NES and Western markets is Super

play01:52

Mario Brothers 2 that was actually a

play01:55

reskin of a Japanese Mario clone called

play01:57

Yumi Cojo doy DOI panic only being

play02:00

replaced by the true sequel as that

play02:02

entry was deemed too hard and too

play02:04

similar to the original where in this

play02:06

title Peach isn't kidnapped at all

play02:09

that's mainly because things take place

play02:11

in the subcon dream world that I'm going

play02:13

to assume exists in a third separate

play02:15

Dimension from The Real World and the

play02:17

Mushroom Kingdom so it's kind of

play02:19

confusing meaning her blonde look might

play02:21

actually be bleached and she's naturally

play02:23

a brunette so I'd love to know your

play02:25

thoughts on that controversy in the

play02:27

comments

play02:28

below the final of the original NES

play02:30

Trilogy Super Mario Brothers 3 came out

play02:33

in North America in 1990 where at the

play02:36

game's beginning Peach actually gets the

play02:38

help of the Bros to rescue the kings

play02:39

that have been transformed by the evil

play02:41

Koopalings while Mar and Luigi are off

play02:44

in their adventure to regain the king's

play02:46

wands and return them to normal Bowser

play02:48

swoops in and kidnaps the princess

play02:50

taking her to the dark lands of World 8

play02:53

not too much else to the story as you

play02:55

don't even find out Bowser's motivations

play02:56

in this one but I think it's safe to

play02:58

assume it's probably the same old just

play03:00

wanting immense

play03:04

power before we move on I just want to

play03:06

look at the true Japanese sequel to the

play03:08

original Super Mario Brothers 2 also

play03:11

known in North America under the title

play03:12

of the Lost Levels which I didn't

play03:14

realize is supposed to take place in a

play03:16

parallel Dimension to that first entry

play03:19

where again the King Koopa takes peach

play03:21

in a very similar manner things are

play03:23

slightly different as Bowser even

play03:25

employs his brother in this title to

play03:26

fight against our mustachioed heroes but

play03:29

the end result is still the same the

play03:31

princess is rescued and the Mushroom

play03:32

Kingdom is

play03:34

saved the first handheld game in the

play03:37

series is Super Mario Land that came up

play03:39

for the game boy in

play03:40

1989 where Princess Peach isn't the

play03:43

Damsel in Distress in the entry and

play03:45

instead that role goes to Princess Daisy

play03:48

as the setting here is in her sarasaland

play03:50

kingdom instead of Bowser the evil alien

play03:53

Tanga is the antagonist wanting to marry

play03:56

Daisy and hypnotize all the inhabitants

play03:59

to rule over everything for himself I'm

play04:02

not sure how Mario found out about this

play04:04

place or even knew that there was

play04:05

trouble brewing in this different land

play04:07

but Peach and Daisy apparently are

play04:09

cousins so that might have something to

play04:11

do with

play04:13

it up next is the Super Mario World SNES

play04:16

entry set within the mysterious Dinosaur

play04:19

Land with things beginning with their

play04:21

Trio of Heroes traveling to this place

play04:23

in an attempt to revitalize it from

play04:25

Bowser's rule little did they know that

play04:27

Bowser had actually retreated here and

play04:29

upon Peach's arrival he and the Koopa

play04:32

Lings kidnapped her I think in this

play04:34

instance just is a way to get back at

play04:36

Mario these events are all told to you

play04:38

by the Yoshis who in the end join your

play04:41

journey in liberating their land and of

play04:43

course rescuing the princess from

play04:44

Bowser's dir

play04:48

Castle the next handh Hill game to come

play04:50

out is Super Mario Land 2 that also was

play04:53

released for the Game Boy but here in

play04:55

1992 where there were absolutely no

play04:57

princesses to be seen in this title at

play04:59

all but that's for a very specific

play05:02

reason this is because the head

play05:04

developer of the game heroi kotake said

play05:07

he wanted to divert from the

play05:08

conventional ideas established by past

play05:10

Mario games thinking that it would be a

play05:13

better change of pace of Mario's

play05:15

fighting for something that belongs to

play05:16

him rather than fighting for someone

play05:18

else's benefit personally I think this

play05:21

actually worked well and the nonlinear

play05:23

gameplay really added to the experience

play05:25

leaving us with probably the best

play05:26

pre-color Game Boy game which is an

play05:29

honor as this system was pretty

play05:33

rudimentary the first game to be

play05:35

released in the 3D realm is Super Mario

play05:37

64 for the N64 and when this particular

play05:40

Story begins you learn that her

play05:42

Mustachio man has been invited by Peach

play05:44

to have cake at her castle most likely

play05:47

in celebration for the events that

play05:48

occurred in Super Mario World once you

play05:50

reach the castle for your dat you

play05:52

quickly realize that Bowser's

play05:54

infiltrated and taken everything and

play05:56

everyone hostage including the princess

play05:59

and most of her toads now I'm assuming

play06:02

she's trapped within the painting that's

play06:03

found down the hallway that leads to the

play06:05

first floor Bowser boss fight as you

play06:07

don't see her held ctive at any time and

play06:10

you only see her physical self at the

play06:12

very end during the

play06:15

celebrations the next game also in the

play06:18

3D realm is Super Mario Sunshine for the

play06:20

GameCube where Peach is actually

play06:22

kidnapped twice while the pair are

play06:24

visiting Delino Isle both times by

play06:26

Bowser Jr the first is when you

play06:28

initially get to Delino Plaza and she's

play06:31

taken by the kid Koopa who's pretended

play06:33

to be a sort of shadowy goopy version of

play06:35

Mario where here if you just spray this

play06:37

version of Bowser Jr a few times then

play06:39

he'll drop the princess and leave just

play06:42

as a side note Bowser Jr has been

play06:44

wrecking Havoc by covering important

play06:46

landmarks with his magical paintbrush

play06:48

that he apparently got from a strange

play06:50

man in a white coat AKA Professor EAD

play06:54

this is oddly the same person who gifted

play06:56

Mario the flood device in the first

play06:57

place which I am going to to say is a

play07:00

bit strange as he's supplying both sides

play07:02

of this battle and it's tough to say

play07:04

what benefit comes out of doing this the

play07:06

next time Peach's kidnapped is when you

play07:08

chase Bowser Jr to pin a park and have

play07:11

to fight and defeat his Mecha Bowser via

play07:13

water rockets at the end of this he

play07:15

reveals that he had somehow taken the

play07:17

princess and that Bowser told him that

play07:19

she was his biological mother and that

play07:22

Mario was the real capture in the

play07:24

scenario this of course is a lie I I

play07:27

hope and by the end of the game I think

play07:30

Bowser Jr understands this although it

play07:32

would be really interesting to one day

play07:34

know who his true mother

play07:36

is nendo will return the series to its

play07:38

2D platforming environment with the

play07:40

release of new Super Mario Brothers for

play07:42

the dual screen system where the game

play07:44

starts with a little cut scene

play07:46

explaining exactly how the princess is

play07:48

stolen away here this occurs when Mario

play07:50

and Peach are taking a little stroll

play07:52

near the castle and all of a sudden a

play07:54

mysterious Thundercloud appears that

play07:56

scares all of the Toads away Mario then

play07:58

goes to investigate this and while he's

play08:01

distracted Bowser junor jumps out from

play08:03

behind the bushes to snatch her up and

play08:05

will now run with her from Castle to

play08:07

Castle all the way until World 8 I'm

play08:09

really not sure the psychology behind

play08:11

kidnapping Peach again so soon after

play08:14

just learning such a valuable lesson but

play08:16

I guess we can't assume any of the games

play08:18

are connected in any way

play08:21

right up next is the space based Super

play08:24

Mario Galaxy we entry where things start

play08:26

off with peach holding a star Festival

play08:28

in celebr ation of the special Comet

play08:30

being in the Skies over the castle for

play08:32

the first time in a 100 years Mario is

play08:35

of course invited to this party but upon

play08:38

his arrival discovers that Bowser is

play08:40

attacking in his brand new UFO and is

play08:42

started encasing everything and everyone

play08:45

in some sort of Crystal material Bowser

play08:48

then uses his UFOs power to lift the

play08:50

castle off the ground and in the space

play08:52

with peach inside of it taking her to

play08:55

his newly created Galaxy and trying to

play08:57

make her his queen of of the Universe I

play09:00

feel like Rosalina would have been the

play09:02

more obvious choice over Peach who

play09:04

probably didn't even know there was life

play09:05

in space or galaxies in the first place

play09:08

plus it sort of seems like she's the

play09:10

princess of all space where Peach is

play09:12

just the princess of the Mushroom

play09:15

Kingdom the second installment of the

play09:17

new Super Mario Brothers Subs series

play09:19

came up for the Wii in 2009 where in it

play09:22

Peach is taken right at the beginning of

play09:24

the game during her birthday

play09:25

celebrations at the castle while all the

play09:28

heroes are about to enjoy a delicious

play09:30

looking cake Bowser Jr and the

play09:32

Koopalings emerged from within it and

play09:34

stun everyone in the room they then pick

play09:37

up the cake throw it on Peach trapping

play09:39

her then pick it up and carry it to

play09:41

their ship returning to Bowser with the

play09:44

princess it honestly just seems like the

play09:46

King Koopa does all of this just to ruin

play09:48

Peach's birthday party probably just out

play09:50

of bitterness that he wasn't invited a

play09:53

petty move but it led to a great game so

play09:57

whatever up next is a sequel to the

play09:59

first space Bas entry here called Super

play10:02

Mario Galaxy 2 that also was released

play10:04

for the Wii but this time in 2010 which

play10:06

Alli starts the same way as before peach

play10:09

holds a star Festival Mario's invited to

play10:11

that star Festival but somewhere along

play10:13

the way Bowser ruins everything and

play10:16

kidnaps the princess he then takes her

play10:18

to the center of the universe to hold

play10:20

her captive where he once again wants to

play10:22

rule over every Galaxy with peach as his

play10:24

Queen it sort of seems like he's just

play10:26

going through the motions at this point

play10:28

and his running out of ideas I mean the

play10:31

plot of this one is literally the exact

play10:33

same so did it take place 100 years in

play10:35

the future during another star

play10:37

celebration I I doubt it but I

play10:41

maybe Nintendo would perfectly blend the

play10:44

3D and 2D Mario environments to create

play10:47

Super Mario 3D land for the 3DS where

play10:49

Bowser this time at least has a slightly

play10:52

different reason for kidnapping the

play10:53

princess as here he wants to gather all

play10:56

of the super Le from her tail tree and

play10:58

give them to his minions to have an

play11:00

advantage over the Bros while he's

play11:02

transporting the princess back to his

play11:04

lair she actually somehow manages to

play11:06

escape but eventually becomes recaptured

play11:09

which might be the only time this

play11:11

happens across the entire franchise

play11:14

unfortunately there's no cutscenes in

play11:16

this title and instead everything is

play11:18

conveyed through these postcard-like 3D

play11:20

pictures that the brothers gather

play11:22

throughout the different

play11:24

worlds the third installment of the new

play11:26

super Mara the sub series was called new

play11:28

super Brothers 2 and was released for

play11:31

the 3DS in 2012 where things start off

play11:33

with raccoon Mario and fox Luigi going

play11:36

on a coin hunt from Peach's castle

play11:39

leaving the princess alone on her

play11:40

balcony while they go out to gather some

play11:42

goodies just as they leave a Koopa clown

play11:45

car appears with all of the Koopalings

play11:47

in it and take the princess hostage

play11:50

damaging the Bros who were just

play11:51

returning from their adventure and

play11:53

depowering them I haven't found any

play11:55

motivation or ankling in this one to why

play11:57

Bowser wanted to kidnap Peach for now

play11:59

what's the 12th time and I seriously

play12:01

can't believe Nintendo lasted almost 5

play12:03

decades just recycling the exact same

play12:07

story the final of the new Super Mario

play12:09

Brothers Subs series came out for the

play12:11

Wii U in 2012 where the opening cut

play12:14

scene has Peach Mario Luigi and the two

play12:17

Toads enjoying a nice dinner that of

play12:20

course is interrupted by Bowser and the

play12:22

Koopalings here they use a gigantic hand

play12:25

that descends from their Airship to

play12:27

smash the dinner table talk Our Heroes

play12:29

way off in the distance and take over

play12:31

the castle with peach in it I didn't

play12:34

realize that it was the crew getting

play12:35

smashed into the acorn tree which is why

play12:37

that PowerUp is in the game as they

play12:39

spread across the Mushroom Kingdom for

play12:41

you to use and

play12:44

find I remember being very happy to find

play12:47

out that peach wouldn't be used as just

play12:48

the damsel and distress in Super Mario

play12:51

3D World but that doesn't mean that

play12:53

there isn't a princess for you to rescue

play12:55

as this time that role goes to a bunch

play12:57

of sprixie princesses

play12:59

Bowser wanted to use these strange

play13:01

fairy-like be as they could build his

play13:03

new World Bowser domain for him as these

play13:05

characters possess the power to create

play13:07

pretty much anything you can imagine

play13:09

from scratch this made them extremely

play13:11

useful to the King Koopa and gives him

play13:14

another way to attempt to take over the

play13:15

Mushroom Kingdom but of course with the

play13:18

help of Mario and all your friends he's

play13:20

easily

play13:22

defeated in the absolutely massive Super

play13:25

Mario Odyssey Nintendo switch entry

play13:27

Bowser's back to his old ways wanting to

play13:30

capture the princess and make her his

play13:32

bride in the process ruling over every

play13:34

Kingdom together the opening cut scene

play13:37

is actually very interesting as Bowser

play13:39

seems to easily overpower Mario and

play13:42

somehow shreds his hat into a million

play13:44

little pieces sending him hurdling

play13:46

towards the Earth to land in the cap

play13:48

Kingdom this is where our hero meets

play13:50

cppy and the adventure begins where you

play13:52

have to go from Kingdom to Kingdom

play13:54

trying to clear up the mess that the

play13:55

brutal have left and save the princess

play13:57

as well I think it's cool to note that

play14:00

Bowser wants something very specific

play14:02

from each place he visits for his and

play14:04

Peach's wedding which includes her Tiara

play14:07

from the cap Kingdom who is actually

play14:08

Cathy's sister who funnily enough is

play14:10

named Tiara in the sand Kingdom he goes

play14:13

within its depths to get a diamond so he

play14:15

can craft an epic wedding ring in the

play14:18

wooded Kingdom he steals their secret

play14:20

flowers for the bouquet in the lake

play14:22

Kingdom he gets the lock ladies to make

play14:24

peach a custom wedding dress in the

play14:26

Metro Kingdom he steals the band that's

play14:29

usually playing with May Pauline in the

play14:31

seaside Kingdom he takes some sparkling

play14:33

water for his guest to enjoy in the

play14:35

luncheon Kingdom he steals a delicious

play14:37

stew and on the Moon Kingdom he

play14:39

obviously just uses the venue itself for

play14:41

the wedding even though the ending is a

play14:43

bit controversial as Peach rejects both

play14:45

Mario and Bowser and leaves by herself I

play14:48

do like how it shows she's done relying

play14:50

on others and I'd have to imagine that

play14:52

Nintendo's self-aware and know it's

play14:55

finally time to move away from this very

play14:57

outdated trope

play14:59

the newest entry in the series is Super

play15:01

Mario Brothers Wonder for the Nintendo

play15:03

switch which is the very first one to

play15:06

not include any kidnapping at all

play15:09

instead needing to rescue the flower

play15:10

Kingdom from the corrupted Bowser this

play15:13

is a nice change of pace as it allows

play15:15

you to experience something different

play15:16

for once and in a very different place

play15:19

but in the end it's still the same old

play15:22

Mario all right that's going to be it

play15:24

play15:26
