'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' Post-Credits Scene Teases a Sequel

The Super Mario Bros. Movie takes everybody's favorite Italian plumber and pink-clad princess and propels them from the games console to the big screen. And there is a pretty good chance that this movie, which is now streaming on Peacock, is merely the first in a brand new franchise of movies that will follow the adventures of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad.

Actor Chris Pratt, who provides the voice for Mario in the new movie, has previously alluded to the fact that a series of sequels could be in the works, hinting to "an entire universe of these types of movies" should the first one prove a hit with audiences.

And The Super Mario Bros. Movie itself certainly seems to be laying the groundwork for future installments, by including what is now very much a staple in the franchise-building business: a post-credits scene. In fact, it has two.

The Super Mario Bros Movie has a mid- and post-credits scene.

Spoilers ahead.

The first scene takes place in the middle of the end credits, after the initial sequence featuring the names of the main cast, director, and studio, and features a reprise of an earlier joke in the movie: Bowser's ode-in-song to Princess Peach, sung this time to comical effect by a miniaturized Bowser (voiced by the hilarious Jack Black).

The second scene, however, functions as an introduction to another character from the games who did not appear in the movie but will likely play a role in the next: Yoshi the dinosaur, whose egg hatches beneath the streets of Brooklyn.
