I see Mario. A cheerful mascot hero who's a plumber.

Except that he's canonically not a plumber anymore. It never factored into his games aside from using pipes to warp and a single mini-game from Superstar Saga.

Ironically, the American adaptations incorporated it into his character as a central attribute with both the movie and the cartoon series having the brothers use their plumbing skills to construct or deconstruct the means to defeat their adversaries.

I don't want Shrek with less pop culture references. That's boring and we've seen it a million times now. I want a movie that embraces the history of the character that's filled with fan service and charm. Sorta similar to what Mario Odyssey does.

Of course I'd have fan service, but fan service alone isn't telling a story. In the first Iron Man movie, when he makes his escape in a suit nearly identical to that of the original Iron Man design, that was a great moment. When the 1989 Batman stamped the likeness of the 1970s Joker on the side of the Joker's helicopter, that was pretty cool too.

I'd give cameos, but it wouldn't just be a movie about Mario passing by a food stand where Donkey Kong Jr. happens to be sitting at a table next to Wart.
