We all just gonna ignore that Luigi single-handedly held off a Dry Bones army with a door, and blocked Bowser’s fire breath with a manhole cover? He might be a timid green guy, but he’s definitely not weak.

I love how this theory discusses Mario's immortality for like 3 minutes then the rest is other things
@Imdatrobloxboi
The fact “Peaches” might actually be able to get an OSCAR is absolutely legendary.
@da_boi
props to the team for not giving any visual spoilers and just recreating the scenes with their animation.

I felt that Peach's reason for bringing Mario with her made sense in hindsight. Toad was literally the only Toad brave enough to go with her, meaning she was pretty much on her own for this adventure otherwise. Then she meets another human like herself for the first time that wants to go to save his brother. When Mario demanded to go, she gave him a day to complete a course to prove he wouldn't slow her down. She had already planned to head out to the Kong's island the next day. So she didn't spend any extra time on him. Basically, "Nobody else is going with me tomorrow, and then I meet the first-ever human aside from myself that wants to do it to save his brother. If he can complete this combat course showing he won't slow me down before I leave, he can come along."
@peateargryphon
Bowser and Kamek seem to know what humans are (they refer to Mario and Luigi that way), and Toad also never seems confused by what Mario is, so I’d say it’s safe to assume humans might be common knowledge in the Mushroom kingdom. I don’t think that works as evidence that Peach isn’t human or has some astral knowledge.
@deoxygenization
The immortality aspect of the Mario world makes Lumalee's desire for death pretty interesting

I just imagined matpat sitting down in the movie theater, having a notepad just writing down possible theories.
@Syzygy1006
I love the theory of “not being able to get physically hurt in the mushroom kingdom” BUT something got overlooked… In the fight scene against D.K. you are able to see distinct scratch marks on D.K.’s face from Cat Mario so that could only mean one thing… You are only able to get physically hurt in the Mushroom Kingdom with the help of a power-up.
@TheLegendaryBillCipher
I think it's weird that King Boo appears during the wedding, but we never see another Boo in the entire movie. I think that's to hint at Luigi's Mansion in the future, and it would certainly balance out the brothers' screentimes.
@goodpol5022
The “Peach is star” theory is actually supported in the games (sort of) alongside the other main characters being stars too. In Yoshi’s Island DS it is said that there are 7 “ star children that are born from a mighty dying star; destined for greatness” and the plot revolves around future Bowser trying to find these children to “harness their power to take over the universe”. At the end it is revealed that these star children included Bowser himself, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Donkey Kong, and of course Peach. The final scene that makes me believe they could draw from this is a green Yoshi hatching from his egg to reveal the final star child. This is incredibly similar the the Yoshi reveal in the post-credit scene of the movie.
@samwhy76
I SWEAR. I was watching the Mario movie and I was thinking about a film theory that said Mario couldn't die or he is dead. Apparently my clairvoyance rivals only that of MatPat himself.
@samurexatlas7373
I'm suspecting that Peach this time around isn't Rosalina's mother, but in fact her daughter. I know, I know, it's crazy, but it does hold some merit. Stars and moons on her dress, the super-charged pipe, it all makes me think that Peach is Rosalina's daughter this time.
@pattymelt5825
I feel like Peach knows what humans are because the Toads know what humans are. Peach, Mario and Luigi aren't the first humans to come to the Mushroom Kingdom, given that there's literally a pipe to the MK in Brooklyn. So at some point there were more humans, but they left or died off at some point. The Toads knew about humans and told Peach when she grew up, because at some point she surely would have realized that she's not a Toad. She just doesn't know what other humans look like because the others are gone for whatever reason
@TRquiet
Counterpoint on Theory #3: Bowser also knows what a human is. There could be some academic knowledge of humans in this world, like how we would recognize a mermaid.
@carrrllllll5609
I'm mildly upset that it seems like EVERYONE is forgetting about Daisy :( All I wanted is for her to be playing tennis in the background and have peach go "Hey Girl!" to Daisy.
@nowayitsgrob
The reason peach took mario on her adventure is because she's a nice person. That's all the motivation you need, and they also clearly liked mario and felt bad for them, therefor wanted to help them. So theres clearly some motivation to bring Mario there and you can't deny it.
@the_ghost_boy
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about how Mario had bruises when he got beat in the real world but was unscathed in the Mushroom Kingdom
@jameswest6232
MatPat: "Yeah, we're probably going to be seeing a bunch more tie-in movies for games in the coming years." Markiplier: "Way ahead of you."
