I'm just here to point out that you can still enjoy this movie even if you don't really know anything about the game universes it stemmed from. I only have a passing familiarity with them and it was still great.
Obviously you'll appreciate it more if you have played any of the games but it still stands alone as a good popcorn film for any age really.
The leads were great although maybe Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach wasn't the best choice. I've loved her performances in other projects but IMHO her character demanded a more fantastical element than what she delivered. I'm being really picky because it was still pretty good but I was only waffling to make the character limit oh, I've made it, yay. Forgive me, Anya Taylor-Joy, you're still the best!

I am a new 30 rock fan having only discovered the show a few months ago. 7 seasons of binge watching later and I am quite sad I've reached the end.
I wasn't going to write a review, I just thought I'd stop by, give the show a solid 9 out of 10, then leave. My mistake was a quick visit to the user reviews... wtf people?
The final straw was the guy who claimed to have never laughed out loud the entire time watching. How did you last so long? Who hurt you? I get the impression that this show appealed to those with some empathy for other humans, so now you know why right-wingers probably aren't too keen on it (you can tell from their review that it was the politics they didn't like).
In my case, there was rarely an episode that I didn't LOL very loudly!! The jokes were usually funny but it was the plot and situations that caused the most hilarity. The actors were great too but others could have probably pulled off the same impeccable timing that made the events very funny. It was the writing, period.
Anyhoo, I've made it past the minimum word count so I'm gonna leave it here. This show is a keeper and will be re-watched many times in the decades to come ... assuming we make it that far!
