Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! (LAGAD)

Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! is a 1986 Japanese animated adventure comedy film, based on the Super Mario Bros. video game. Directed by Masami Hata and produced by Masakatsu Suzuki and Tsunemasa Hatano, the plot centers on Mario and Luigi, who go on a quest to save Princess Peach from King Koopa.
It is notable for being the first movie based on a video game (a distinction shared with Running Boy: Star Soldier's Secret released on the same day). It has also been identified as one of the earliest isekai anime, and the earliest isekai anime to involve a virtual video game world.
==Plot==
Late one night, Mario is playing a video game on his Famicom. Suddenly, Mario witnesses a girl on the television screen crying for help from the enemies attacking her. She escapes by jumping out of the TV and introduces herself as Princess Peach. Just then, King Koopa appears and follows her out of the TV. Despite Mario's attempts to fight him, Koopa successfully captures Peach and takes her back into the TV. Mario discovers a small necklace that Peach left on the floor.
The next day, while he and his brother Luigi are working at their grocery store, Mario cannot stop thinking about Peach and the necklace. Luigi claims the jewel on the necklace is said to lead its owner to the Mushroom Kingdom, a supposed a land of treasure. A small dog-like creature wanders into the store and snatches the necklace from Mario, prompting him and Luigi to give chase before falling down a pipe.
When the Mario Bros. emerge, a mushroom hermit reveals he ordered the dog, Kibidango, to bring the brothers to him. He explains that they are now in the Mushroom Kingdom, which is being ravaged by King Koopa and his army. Angry that his marriage proposal was spurned by Peach, Koopa is turning the citizens into inanimate objects, and plans to force Peach into marriage on Friday the 13th. The hermit reveals a legend that claims the Mario Bros. can defeat Koopa, and that they will need to find the three mystical Power-Ups to overcome his magic: the Mushroom, the Flower, and the Star. With the three Power-Ups hidden throughout the Mushroom Kingdom by Koopa's forces, the Mario Bros. set out to find them, guided by Kibidango.
After a long journey with many perilous obstacles, the Mario Bros. eventually acquire all three Power-Ups. That night, Mario arrives at King Koopa's castle just as the wedding is starting. With the help of the three Power-Ups, Mario successfully defeats Koopa, breaking his spell and turning the Mushroom Kingdom back to normal. When Mario returns Peach's necklace, Kibidango arrives and reverts to his true form, Prince Haru of the Flower Kingdom. Haru explains that he is Peach's fiancé, but Koopa turned him into Kibidango to marry her in his place. Though heartbroken, Mario wishes the couple well and promises to return if they ever need help, and he and Luigi begin their long journey home.
In a post-credits scene, King Koopa and his minions are now working at the Mario Bros.' grocery store as punishment. In the post-credits scene that shows up in later releases and in the English dub, Princess Peach writes a letter to the Mario brothers about how she has decided on canceling the wedding with Prince Haru, which may have left him in grief (until the release of Super Mario Bros. 2: The Legend of the Warp Zone), and reveals that she loves Mario more and she also has the brooch that Prince Haru formerly had just so she can give it to Mario just in case, much to the red-hatted hero’s delight. Afterwards, Luigi explains that their adventure led us to get new jobs as plumbers, while their old jobs are now given to King Koopa and three other members of the Turtle Tribe, in which the original post-credits scene plays out.
