I'm still wondering what the story will be other than 'Bowser kidnaps Peach and Mario tries to rescue her'.

Mario seems like a weird choice of Nintendo franchise to adapt into a film, partly because the plot is usually so basic. When Super Mario Galaxy tried to have a more ambitious plot, someone at Nintendo (Iwata I think, but please correct me if I'm wrong) flipped out and demanded it be removed, so the developers put Rosalina's backstory in a secret room instead.

The second reason this seems weird to me is that the tone of most Nintendo games, especially Mario, doesn't lend itself to the snarky humour that you tend to get in Hollywood movies. Nintendo's games are usually more earnest and sincere than that. Kid Icarus Uprising is the only one I can think of that would fit that tone while remaining true to the spirit of the game.

Finally, who will be the Minions stand-in? My money's on the Goombas.
