'''''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''''' (which translates to ''The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!'') is a 1986 anime film which was only released in Japan. It was produced by Nippon Television and Grouper Productions in order to promote the Japanese version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (later released as ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' in the west). The theatrical screening was shown alongside a video strategy guide for game titled ''Super Mario Bros. 2 Kanzen Kōryakuhō'' (''The Complete Strategy Guide''), hosted by Jimmy Kobayashi.


It has gotten a reputation due to its strange plot and for being the first film based on a video game, predating the live-action American ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie by seven years.
The movie is notable from its deviation of how the ''Mario'' canon was later developed, particularly in the presence of original characters such as Peach's fiancée Prince Haru (in contrast to the games, in which Peach has no other love interest outside Mario). While Peach and Bowser resemble Yoichi Kotabe's redesigns for the Japanese ''Mario 2'', Luigi's design differs slightly from how he later looked in ''Mario 3'' (as well as the U.S. version of ''Mario 2'').

Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen! (which translates to The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!) is a 1986 anime film which was only released in Japan. It was produced by Nippon Television and Grouper Productions in order to promote the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (later released as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels in the west). The theatrical screening was shown alongside a video strategy guide for game titled Super Mario Bros. 2 Kanzen Kōryakuhō (The Complete Strategy Guide), hosted by Jimmy Kobayashi.

The movie is notable from its deviation of how the Mario canon was later developed, particularly in the presence of original characters such as Peach's fiancée Prince Haru (in contrast to the games, in which Peach has no other love interest outside Mario). While Peach and Bowser resemble Yoichi Kotabe's redesigns for the Japanese Mario 2, Luigi's design differs slightly from how he later looked in Mario 3 (as well as the U.S. version of Mario 2).
