The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been winning hearts and shattering records. The Nintendo-Universal collaboration is on its way to becoming the highest-grossing animated movie ever. While Mario and Luigi are obviously the two main characters in the movie, Bowser has risen to be the unexpected people’s champion. Fans saw the fearsome princess-nabbing monster to have a soft side, that wooed many movie-goers. Now Jack Black, the musician responsible for voicing Bowser, took center stage performing Bowser’s ballad-like “Peaches” from the movie and fans can’t stop saying how great he is.

In the Hollywood Bowl 2023, Black performed in his signature style for the 10th Anniversary Game Awards.

Jack Black melted Bowser’s heart

After its release, fans and movie lovers alike praised lavishly the Super Mario Bros. Movie. Critics also gave an approving nod to the movie. The Mario movie has already overtaken Disney’s Frozen to become the second highest-grossing animated movie ever, second only to Frozen 2. Many believe that the movie has what it takes to topple even the leader on the list to set a benchmark for others to follow.

The immense success of the movie was also attributed to Hollywood star Jack Black, who is a renowned video game fan himself. His voice made Bowser a character who everyone loved, even after kidnapping Princess Peach. In the movie, Bowser seems to be deeply in love with the princess, partially why he kidnaps her in the first place. His ode to his love, “Peaches” became a fan-favorite and many won’t stop humming the tunes.
