Nintendo's Chronology of Heroes

NOTE: This project originated on a separate fanon wiki under the name "Nintendo's Timeline of Heroes". ShadeTheNarwhal, the user who created the project, has rebooted it on Fantendo of his own will.
Nintendo's Chronology of Heroes is a shared universe comprised primarily of films made by Warner Bros. and Nintendo. As the name suggests, it adapts various Nintendo properties into interconnected films and television series. To differentiate it from its main competitor, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the "NCoH" features prominent crossovers between its films and television shows (something which the MCU mostly failed to do before 2019's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and a greater tonal distinction between films. Nintendo's Chronology of Heroes has been praised for its creative liberties in adaptation, thought-out worldbuilding and unique musical score.
Like the MCU, the NCoH categorizes films and television series in Phases.
==Films - Phase One==
===Super Mario===
Super Mario is an action-adventure fantasy film adapting Super Mario Bros., with a release date of May 2018.
Summary: Mario Macarelli, a down-on-his-luck plumber in Brooklyn, is sucked into a magic kingdom and tasked with rescuing the magical Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil King Bowser. In this strange new world, he must learn the odd mechanics of his surroundings, as well as to live his life a little happier.
Full Plot: Mario Macarelli, a down-on-his-luck plumber living in Brooklyn, is teleported to an alternate reality (the Mushroom Kingdom) by a princess named Daisy and her butler Toadsworth. Daisy intended to teleport Mario's father to the Kingdom, as he was, unbeknownst to Mario, a hero to the Mushroom Kingdom's citizens. She tells Mario that the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach, was kidnapped by the corrupt King Bowser, one of the last living Dragon Koopas. Mario is initially hesitant to assist Daisy until he learns that the object that teleported him to the Kingdom (a magic wand from a Koopa wizard named Kamek) broke and that the only way to return to his home would be for Peach to use a spell. Mario reluctantly agrees to help Daisy, so she gives him a variety of items; a Super Mushroom which enhances his strength, a Fire Flower that gives him pyrokinetic abilities and a portable Warp Pipe, which can teleport Mario to any location he's been to before.
The duo arrived at a fortress near the outskirts of the Koopa Kingdom, where they effortlessly battled against a small army. Mario rescued Peach with Bowser nowhere to be seen. In the battle, Mario's Warp Pipe is destroyed, so the trio has to go back to the Mushroom Kingdom on foot. Mario forms a greater bond between her and Daisy on the way back. However, Mario still wants to return to Brooklyn. It is then that Daisy confesses that she possesses magic and that she could've created a portal to Earth, but lied to Mario to ensure Peach's safety. Mario is hurt by this and, in his rage, claims that he never viewed Peach or Daisy as friends and only cared about their ability to send him back home. Just then, the Kingdom is swarmed with airships. Armies of Goombas and Koopas infiltrate Peach's castle and capture both Peach and Daisy. Mario attempts to fight back, but then King Bowser finally shows his face. He spends a little more than a minute humiliating Mario in combat, leaving him almost unconscious as his armies fall back.
Mario sits alone in Peach's castle, dejected. He believes he has failed everyone. Toadsworth comes into the room, telling Mario that he will likely be away from Brooklyn for a long time. Mario says that he doesn't care about his chances of returning home and that he truly only cares about the safety of his newfound friends. Toadsworth asks Mario why he doesn't go and save them, to which Mario responds with the belief that he isn't strong enough. Toadsworth then says that the world is more optimistic than Mario thinks and that, as unrealistic as it may sound, anything is possible.
Mario uses a spare Warp Pipe given to him by Toadsworth to go to the Koopa Kingdom, equipped with a Super Mushroom and a Fire Flower. He plows through a series of enemies before finally going to the throne room of a gigantic castle. Bowser is there, sitting next to Peach and Daisy in cages. They are hooked up to magic-tech machines, seemingly sucking the magic out of them. Mario and Bowser then clash. Every time Mario seems to have the upper hand, Bowser takes control over the battle. Mario asks what Bowser is doing with their magic. Bowser points to where the machine's wires lead, to a glass container on the ceiling. Bowser claims that his son, Prince Bowser II, is cryogenically frozen in there because he is dying of a rare disease exclusive to the Dragon Koopa species. He further states that the princesses' magic is powerful enough to eradicate the disease. Mario tells Bowser that he doesn't need to steal magic from the princesses and that they will help him. He restates Toadsworth's quote that "the world is more optimistic than you think". Bowser lets the princesses free, who both willingly channel magical streams to the container, which glows a bright green.
After the battle, Bowser turns himself in as a prisoner to the Mushroom Kingdom, imprisoned underneath Peach's castle. Prince Bowser II, now free from his container and cured of his illness, takes over as the new king and formally thanks Mario and the princesses, saying that the Koopa Kingdom will no longer be an enemy of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario apologizes to Peach and Daisy, saying that they have been truer friends than anyone else in his life. Daisy also apologizes. Peach tells Mario that she'll begin preparing a portal back to Earth, to which Mario replies that he wants to stick around in the Mushroom Kingdom for a while.
In a mid-credits scene, a portal appears on the outskirts of the Mushroom Kingdom. A green hat falls out of it, bearing a striking similarity to Mario's hat but emblazoned with a capital L. A white glove picks up the hat before the scene ends.
In a post-credits scene, Mario and Daisy are talking to each other. Mario asks Daisy about his father, as she had said he was a hero. Daisy tells Mario that she had only believed him to be a hero, specifically a prophecized hero dubbed the Man in Red. Daisy remarks that every universe has a prophecy like that and that Mario's universe's prophecy could've had a similar Man in Red, but then concludes that she was wrong about Mario's father being a prophecized hero. Mario asks Daisy how many more universes there are, before a loud shout echoes throughout the castle. The duo rushes down to Bowser's cell to find that he isn't there.
Cast:
* TBA as Mario Macarelli.
** Background: Mario Macarelli is the son of Julian and Pauline Macarelli, the former being deceased and the latter of whom he is estranged. Before he is abruptly whisked away into the Mushroom Kingdom, he lived in Brooklyn, managing a failing plumbing service run mostly by him. He is 25 during the film.
**Personality: Mario is initially cynical and pessimistic, as a result of his troubled childhood. He is hesitant to believe that optimism and love, in the amounts that radiate off of the Mushroom Kingdom, are genuine. He is also reluctant to reach out to people. Both of these flaws are caused by his fear that he'll be hurt emotionally-speaking. By the end of the film, he realizes that optimism and love are legitimate aspects of reality and that he won't inherently be hurt by them.
**Abilities: Before entering the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario was an ordinary human. After entering the Mushroom Kingdom, he has begun using magical items to give him abilities. These include Super Mushrooms (superhuman strength, durability and jump height) and Fire Flowers (pyrokinesis).
* Emma Watson as Princess Daisy Flowerstem.
** Background: Princess Daisy Flowerstem is the ruler of Sarasaland (often called the Desert Kingdom) and a close friend to Princess Peach. When Peach was kidnapped, she temporarily took over the Mushroom Kingdom. She is 27 during the film.
** Personality: Daisy is impulsive, energetic and impatient. She becomes less impatient by the end of the film.
** Abilities: Daisy has plant-themed magic. She can conjure gigantic flowers and roots which she can control remotely. She can also float, an ability she claims she learned from Peach. She can channel her magic to slightly heal people, but this power can be enhanced if in conjunction with another magic-user doing the same thing.
* TBA as King Bowser.
** Background: King Bowser is the king of the Koopa Kingdom. He is among the last of the Dragon Koopa species, so he's very protective of other members of his species. This includes his son Prince Bowser II, who is dying from a rare illness. This is Bowser's motivation for the kidnapping of Princess Peach, as Bowser seeks to use a machine made by his late ally Kamek to absorb her magic.
** Personality: Bowser is stoic and a bit cold. He deeply cares about his son, though his compassion rarely shines through to other people.
** Abilities: Due to his Dragon Koopa heritage, Bowser is impeccably strong and durable. He can also spew flames. His weapon of choice is a large sledgehammer.
* TBA as Princess Peach Toadstool.
** Background: Princess Peach is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. Her kingdom and the Koopa Kingdom have had an uneasy tension for centuries, seemingly culminating in her abduction by King Bowser. She is 24 during the film.
** Personality: Peach is very kind and optimistic. In Toadsworth's words, "she brings out the best in people". She has difficultly expressing her true emotions to people.
** Abilities: Peach has a variety of magical abilities. She can cause herself and others to float and she can also produce light beams that can heal most injuries and sicknesses. Most notably, she can produce portals to other universes, though his ability requires immense concentration.
* TBA as Toadsworth.
** Background: Toadsworth is a Toad, which is defined as a "mushroom-based humanoid". He has been the loyal butler to the Toadstool family for as long as many can remember.
** Personality: Toadsworth is particularly neutral in terms of ideals and politics. He is a fountain of wisdom, often motivating people to do what is right in their hearts.
** Abilities: Toadsworth has no superhuman abilities, though some may consider his wisdom and devotion to be the best ability out of all.
Score: The film's score is primarily orchestral with chiptune backing, emulating the scores of both modern and classic Mario entries. Inspirations for original pieces are drawn specifically from Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Odyssey.
* Mario's theme, "Jumpman", is an original orchestral composition heavily featuring the first seven notes of Overworld Theme from Super Mario Bros. and subsequent games.
* Peach's castle's theme, "Inside the Castle Walls", is a cover of the track of the same name from Super Mario 64.
* An unused track titled "Daisy (unused)" is a wind symphony cover of Mario Adventures II (also known as Muda Kingdom) from Super Mario Land. This was likely meant to be Daisy's theme before it was replaced by an original composition titled "Daisy".
* Peach's theme, "The Princess", is a cover of End Credits from Super Mario Bros. and subsequent games.
* The track that plays when Peach's castle is stormed by airships, "Airship Theme", is lifted directly from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
* Bowser's theme, "King Koopa", is a rock cover of Koopa's Theme from Super Mario 64.
Trivia:
* The film takes place in June 2018.
* Prior to Mario and Daisy's adventure to the Koopa Kingdom, a map can be seen in Peach's Castle. This map shows several locations such as Mushroom Kingdom, Koopa Kingdom and Sarasaland, as well as other locations that weren't mentioned in the film such as Isle Delfino, Land of the Cragnons and DK Island.

Score:
* The film features several pre-existing songs, such as "Tom Sawyer" by Rush (which doubles as a trailer theme) and other rock music popular in the 1980s. The pre-existing music is diegetic to the film, even though it would not logically exist in a fantasy context. When asked why this was done, the director stated that they wanted Hyrule to feel more like a medieval/fantasy parallel of the real world, complete with real-world songs.

==Trivia==
* NCoH began production at around 1:20 AM on April 24th, 2020.
** At 1:35 AM on May 8th, 2020, the decision was made to change its name from Nintendo's Timeline of Heroes to Nintendo's Chronology of Heroes.
* NCoH ignores several elements of the real-life film industry and film-related events.
** In the "canon" where NCoH is a genuine film series, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu was never made into a film.
** In the same "canon", the COVID-19 pandemic never affected movie theatres or filming, and thus the NCoH's 2020 and 2021 films released as normal.
