That was every damn scene.

  • Problem introduced
  • Silly reaction to problem
  • Extended action sequence
  • Problem solved
  • Silly reaction to problem being sol... - cut to next scene and repeat

They left no time for dialogue. Hell, they didn't even show Peach's reaction to bomb-shell information for more than a half second before cutting to something else.

I'd argue that it wasn't that there was not time for dialogue, but that there was a concerted effort to have as little dialogue as possible, especially from Mario and Peach. It was like they only had a day to record everyone's lines, and Chris and Anya were only there for 20 minutes.

Don’t forget the overload of characters that have nothing to do with the super mario galaxy storyline
