I’m a Mario fan since I was two years old and got an NES at the time. I thought the film was wonderful! They did such a good job mixing the Western version of Mario from Brooklyn with Nintendo’s world, creating a new Mario universe that really stands well on it’s own. The humor was fantastic, and references to music of various Mario games used was thrilling! Even the visuals were perfect! It’s like that detailed textures and shading from realism but without sacrificing stylization of the world. Bowser is like straight out of the Mario Bros Manga, LOL! It felt like a 90s film but without the excessive corniness of the 90s. I really hope you two have an awesome time! ❤

The real life reason for tanuki's giant kintama (golden balls), is that goldsmiths used their sack's stretchiness to hammer gold leaf (really thin sheets of gold for use in decoration and, nowadays, food garnish). By Cultist Simulator mechanics, they're strong in forge (shaping) and moth (shifting) aspect and they are probably also minor emanations of the Thunderskin, who basically use their weird hangup with having had their ancestors skinned ballsacks posthumously pounded into a malleable state, combined with the disguise power inherent in ghillie suits made of fallen leaves, to transmute their corpulence into whatever shape they please.

I believe the myth of tanuki balls being so magical was because in ancient times they had a hard time finding a material to help press gold leaflets turns out scrotum was the key. Eventually someone figured out the another versatility of the hide/scrotum it was very stretchy and soft so they began using the hide to creat coin purses.

It is impossible to cover the tanuki without covering the Kachikachi Yama story. The two versions I've heard about the hare's revenge go a little differently than what is covered here. There are several versions of the same folktales, you see. So, for anyone who is curious: One day the tanuki is walking through the forest and see the hare collecting wood. The tanuki asks the hare why and the hare says that it's going to be a tough winter, so it needs lots of wood to stay warm. Seeing the logic, the tanuki decides to also collect lots of wood alongside the hare and soon they have collected more than plenty and begin heading home together. The tanuki is walking ahead and the hare is behind it. Both are carrying the wood on their backs. The hare then takes the oppertunity to light the wood on the tanuki's back on fire and when the tanuki asks what the crackling sound is, the hare says that seeing as this is the cractling mountain, you will hear a crackling sound. The tanuki accepts this at first but then begins feeling hot and realizes that his back is on fire. He runs away. On the next day, the hare is grinding a paste and the tanuki comes by. It sees the hare and calls it out, wanting to punish it for what happened, but the hare is quick-witted and says: "Oh, you must be talking about the hare of the Crackling Mountain. I'm a different hare!" Then it offers to treat the tanuki's burns with the paste it just made and the tanuki sits down to let it do so. However, there is lots of chili in the paste and it soon begins stinging on the tanuki's back. The tanuki runs off in pain. A day or so later, the tanuki comes to the lake and finds the hare in the process of making a small rowing boat. Agaiin, the tanuki calls out the hare for what happened last time but the hare explains: "You must be talking about the hare of the Chili Mountain. I'm a different hare!" Accepting this explanation, the tanuki asks what the hare is doing, and the hare explains that seeing as the winter will be tough, it is making a boat to go fishing. The tanuki asks if he can come with and the hare says yes, and offers to make him a boat, telling him to come back the next day. The tanuki does so. On the following day, there is a small wooden boat and a bigger one made of mud. The hare explains that since the tanuki is bigger, he needs a bigger boat, and the tanuki jummps right in and they get going. As they are sailing out, the hare begins singing a song and hitting the side of its boat with the ore. The tanuki decides to do the same. However, as his boat is made of mud, it doesn't take many hits for it to break and the tanuki sinks into the water, drowning. This is a mix of the two versions I know. I only told of what happened after the tanuki had the farmer eat his wife. There is a more kid-friendly version too, where the tanuki just kills the wife and the farmer doesn't eat her, but just finds her dead body.

I've heard of mario, but never knew who or what he is. I knew there was a game, back as a kid, I was playing Sims 1 and at school on break when I wasn't writing or catching up with homework, I played mindsweeper and stuff.

The Tanuki probably would've lived if he used his magical balls as a boat instead of mud. Just saying.
