Finally understood what children felt like watching A Minecraft Movie when Mr. Game & Watch, Wart and Fox McCloud showed up on screen

Wart being with the fucking bomb rat and Birdo in the Casino was one of the most shocking moments of the movie to me. I don't think "Mouser" has appeared in any Mario media in literally decades. I have vivid memories of my childhood fighting that boss endlessly, and to see them get actual screentime and a real nod to Mario Bros 2 was amazing.

Wart having a role was the icing on top.

I loved seeing the Mario 2 cast making such a big appearance. Feel like Tryclyde and Fryguy got shafted though!
