Ok so here's my ideal alternative Super Mario Bros casting:

Steve Buscemi as Mario
Steve Buscemi as Luigi
Steve Buscemi as Peach
Steve Buscemi as Bowser
Steve Buscemi as Toad
Steve Buscemi as Donkey Kong

Keegan-Michael Key is going to voice Toad in the new Super Mario movie. Fair enough, he seems like a fun guy.

How it felt to wake up for work and the first thing i see is "Chris Pratt as Mario" pic.twitter.com/R7Lj2Jn8xB

Let’s not forget that there was one fairly obvious choice for the part.

Yeah sure let's get Chris Pratt to do an imitation of Mario for the animated Mario movie instead of getting, you know, the literal authentic voice of Mario who's been the character for 3 decades to play the real deal. Let's relegate Charles Martinet to "special cameos" instead.
