The Super Mario Bros. Movie premiered Wednesday, and its ensemble cast is a 40-year parade of Nintendo characters, from Donkey Kong to Mario and Luigi’s extended family. It’s a roster that deserves this Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (which also gets a hat tip in the movie).
Well, take that with a core of popcorn, but I’ve heard there is Strictly speaking an unlockable Legend of Zelda mode for this film. If you watch it a second time and follow the exact process below, you will be shown a secret scroll in which all Mario characters are swapped out for Zelda characters. Mario is Link, Peach is Zelda, Toad is Tingle and Charles Martinet is replaced by Jonathan Potts.
Little finger swore. I Only Read this on the back cover of Scholastics Dynamite Magazine in the elementary school library. Anyway, here’s the secret code to unlock Link and Co. In The Super Mario Bros. Movie:
- Buy a ticket for a matinee. It must be a matinee.
- Sit in the middle seat on the front row of the theater.
- Mute your mobile phone (very important).
- Stand up and sit down twice.
- Sit in the seat directly to the left.
- Sit in the seat directly to the right.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6.
- Press B, A and then START. (A picture of Mister. BILLION should appear on the movie screen if you did this correctly.)
- Say nothing for the rest of the film. Or, if you must speak, only do so in soft, polite tones with an attendant or the theater usher. (also very important!)
Note that you can’t do some of this at home, so this cheat code only works in the theater. (Although you can still mute your phone when watching the movie in streaming. And it’s better that way.)
I’m 100% sure this hack works – I asked my uncle who works for Nintendo and my aunt who works for Illumination about it and they said it was true. So you put Link in your film? Let us know in the comments!
