The second trailer for “Super Mario Bros” was released a couple of days ago and it shows more of the plot. It also features some significant changes from previous perceptions of Princess Peach, a character who’s frequently needing to be rescued. In the film, it appears like Peach is a beloved leader for the Mushroom Kingdom and a partner for Mario, with both of them trying to prevent Bowser, the video game’s dinosaur villain, from taking over their universe.

“Together, we are going to stop that monster,” says Peach in the trailer, showcasing the iconic pink dress of the video game yet also a different and more battle-ready outfits.
