Nintendo surprised us all with a substantial amount of news for Mario Day, including the announcement of a new Super Mario Bros movie. The movie is coming in 2026 and will focus on "expanding Mario's world". 

The first Mario movie was a well-received hit, but many noted that there was room for improvement. What is the one thing Nintendo and Illumination can add to this new movie to make it even better from your perspective?

One of the things that kind of bugged me with the movie is how when the gang heads out to go to Kong island, the entire journey is basically a 2 minutes montage, so I think this movie needs more of a fleshed out adventure more than anything. Mario is about the journey not the destination.

Story was one thing seriously lacking, but the games are quite thin plot wise. But let the second movie iterate on the first one, like how Super Mario World is an improvement to the Super Mario Bros 3 formula.
