Synopsis

After the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom got captured by Bowser, Mario and Luigi must go on a dangerous mission to save the princess, before it's too late.

Plot

It's another day in the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario (Charles Martinet) had been protecting Princess Peach (Samantha Kelly) for years. But one night, the villainous Bowser (Kenneth W. James) kidnaps Peach, and takes her to his castle, Bowser's Castle. When Mario goes to check on Peach, she wasn't there. His first instinct was that she was out in the backyard planting flowers. But when he checked in the backyard, she wasn't there either. There was only one other possibility on what had happened to her; she got kidnapped by Bowser.

Then, a toad (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) informs Mario that the Princess was captured by Bowser. Then, Mario enlists the help of his brother, Luigi (Charles Martinet), to save the Princess from Bowser's wrath. But on the way, they ran into multiple helpers of Bowser's, most notably the Koopalings (Alec Baldwin, Kenneth W. James, Mike Myers, Scarlett Johansson), the Goombas (Alec Baldwin, Debi Derryberry), Koopa Troopas/Paratroopas (Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin), Lakitu (Jim Carrey), and Bowser's son, Bowser Jr. (Colleen O'Shaughnessey).

When they reach Bowser's Castle, the two are faced with the villainous Bowser, and the battle began. Mario was thrown to the edge of the bridge, just inches from falling off into the lava. But, a quick-thinking Luigi helped him up, and the two went back to the ongoing battle. Peach was undoubtedly worried for Mario, as he was the love of her life. The duo got across the bridge, and made it to the axe of the bridge. One swoop of the axe, and the chains would break, causing the bridge to collapse. Mario grabbed the axe, and swung with full force at the chain. The bridge collapsed, and Bowser fell into the lava, never to be seen again.

The duo unlocked the cage with a key, and they freed Peach from it. Peach was relieved that she was saved from the wrath of Bowser, and she was knowingly terrified. Mario told her all the hell was over, and that she was okay. The movie ends on a message; you can never have too many people, especially a beautiful princess for Mario.

In the post credits scene, Dry Bones Bowser, a skeleton version of Bowser, emerged from the lava below. A growl is heard, and it fades to black.

Production

Development

During a 2000 interview with Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo, creator of Super Mario, he was asked a question on if there would be any other Super Mario-adapted movie. His response was he didn't want another Mario movie to be produced. After the box office disappointment of "Super Mario Bros." (1993), he never wanted to see a Super Mario adaption film again. But that changed in January 2002.

The film was conceived in January 2002 when Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies approached Canadian animation studio Games Animation Inc., and American animation companies O Entertainment and DNA Productions, after the success of "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius". John A. Davis of DNA Productions later approached Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, with plans to make a CGI film. Miyamoto's initial reaction was that he didn't want an adaption of Super Mario, as he was feared it would flop like "Super Mario Bros." (1993). But when John A. showed Miyamoto animation concepts of what the film would be, he agreed on production for the film.

The official production began in June 2002, and the storyboard for the movie was created by Shigeru Miyamoto. The animation processes began on June 12th, 2002, with test animations being created and produced at DNA Productions, Inc. in Dallas, Texas. With Nintendo's animation division, Nintendo Animation, and Nickelodeon's Canadian subsidiary, Games Animation Inc., the production was going swimmingly. With Miyamoto as head of production for Nintendo Animation, and Ryan Reynolds as head of production for Games Animation Inc., it was going well.

In on May 29th, 2004, 2 weeks before the premiere of the film, animators at DNA Productions, Nintendo Animation, and Games Animation were checking the animations for any animation errors and mistakes. Thankfully, there was no animation errors. The film was sent off to the Motion Picture Association of America/Motion Picture Association (MPAA/MPA), and the film received a "PG" rating, indicating Parental Guidance, meaning it had mild language, peril, mild crude humor, and violence.

The film is directed by Conrad Vernon, John A. Davis, and Shigeru Miyamoto, along with it being written and storyboarded by Shigeru Miyamoto, and is produced by John A. Davis, Steve Oedekerk, and Albie Hecht.

Casting

Lines provided by Charles Martinet, Samantha Kelly, Kenneth W. James, Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Debi Derryberry, and Jim Carrey were recorded at Paramount Recording Studios in Santa Monica, California.

Overall, the budget was approximately $25 million.

Critical response

Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a rare grade of "A+" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave the film a 99%, saying that 95% would definitely recommend it.

On the IMDb (Internet Movie Database), the film has a rare score of 10/10, with its consensus reading "As the first actual adaption to a beloved Nintendo franchise, The Super Mario Movie works to its full 90 minute runtime. Unlike the 1993 live action film, where the acting was dull and boring, the 2004 CGI reboot is the best way to kick off the modern era of Mario." On Common Sense Media, its star rating is a rare 5/5, with critics acclaiming the movie, saying it is "action-packed" and "thrilling with excitement".

Shigeru Miyamoto, who produced, directed, and wrote the movie, said that the movie "was an amazing movie. (It) really is a brilliant kick-off to the modern series of Mario games, (and I,) and Nintendo can't wait to see what is coming next", which in Japanese translates to "素晴らしい映画でした。（それは）マリオゲームの現代シリーズ（そして私）への素晴らしいキックオフであり任天堂は次に何が来るのか楽しみです。"

The movie was featured on news stations and newspapers, with news stations including CBS News and FOX 13 News covering the movie. TheGuardian reviewed the movie, and gave it 4.5 stars out of 5, saying it was "too good to be true in the Mario universe", and said it was "outstanding", "magnificent", and "unreal in design". CBS News and FOX 13 News described the movie as a "video game adaption masterpiece", and said the movie was "phenomenal and delicate in detail".

Controversy

Games Animation employees not paid for work

In April 2010, it was announced on TheGuardian that employees at the Canadian animation studio "Games Animation Inc." were not paid in the project. After the movie came out in June 2004, there were no payments sent to the Canadian animation studio, but they kept it quiet until April 2010, on the release of "The Super Mario Movie 3: Bowser's Revenge".

TheGuardian says Games Animation CEO Ryan Reynolds (actor, film producer, and animator) was not paid for his involvement in the project. The studio, along with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies settled in the Los Angeles court. Games Animation won the lawsuit, and they were soon received their payments. Ryan Reynolds, the CEO of Games Animation, says he was "disgusted at how Paramount and Nickelodeon did not pay me and the other employees for their hard efforts in the project".

+When they reach Bowser's Castle, the two are faced with the villainous Bowser, and the battle began. Mario was thrown to the edge of the bridge, just inches from falling off into the lava. But, a quick-thinking Luigi helped him up, and the two went back to the ongoing battle. Peach was undoubtedly worried for Mario, as he was the love of her life. The duo got across the bridge, and made it to the axe of the bridge. One swoop of the axe, and the chains would break, causing the bridge to collapse. Mario grabbed the axe, and swung with full force at the chain. The bridge collapsed, and Bowser fell into the lava, never to be seen again.
-At lunch, Blossom talks to her sisters about the past of Townsville, in which she learned about. Bubbles tells Blossom that wisdom, humility, and honesty are the three things that she is looking for, even though she is the cute one. Jared Shapiro calls Blossom, and he tells her that he found out about the other versions of the Powerpuff Girls. He also tells her that the Rowdyruff Boys tampered with the Professor's portal. At the Girls' table Bubbles tells Buttercup that the past comes before the present. Blossom later comes back to the table and tells Bubbles and Buttercup that there really are other versions of the Powerpuff Girls in main, parallel, and alternate universes.
+The duo unlocked the cage with a key, and they freed Peach from it. Peach was relieved that she was saved from the wrath of Bowser, and she was knowingly terrified. Mario told her all the hell was over, and that she was okay. The movie ends on a message; you can never have too many people, especially a beautiful princess for Mario.
-Later, when the Girls got back from school, they discover that the portal had been malfunctioning. After trying to fix it, the portal inadvertently brings in the 1998 Girls. They tell them that nothing is what is seems in all the dimensions, and that Mojo Jojo is planning to destroy the Townsville of the multiverse. The next day, the six girls fly over to their school, only for Miss Keane to realize that there were six Powerpuff Girls in the school, leaving her confused. They then fly over to the Mayor’s office, only for the Mayor to get confused about their differences and get his assistant Ms. Bellum to get them out. Back at home, the Professor is concerned about their differences and looks, as well as why the portal was malfunctioning, and tells the seven girls that their universes are getting destroyed. So he tasks the six girls to get more of their old selves to put together a team.
+In the post credits scene, Dry Bones Bowser, a skeleton version of Bowser, emerged from the lava below. A growl is heard, and it fades to black.
-In their room, they think of a plan to stop Mojo Jojo by joining forces with each other ("Getting The Team Together"). They later sneak into the Derbytantes' lair, thus sending the 1998 Girls to sneak up on Maylyn, who later discovers that there are two Buttercups, two Blossoms, and two Bubbleses. They later talk about why the portal had been malfunctioning. Bubbles tells the Derbytantes the truth about what happened. Once the seven Girls got home, the portal brings in the 2014 Girls who offer to help them with their mission.
-In the lab, Bliss reveals to the Girls a Powerpuff Time Machine, and shows them the Orb of Main, Parallel, and Alternate Universes (“A Beautiful Life”). The ten girls fly to different universes with a time machine: first the 1992 universe, then the 1998-2005 universe, the 2014 universe (“What We Did In The Past”), and finally the Powerpuff Girls Z universe.
-Meanwhile, Mojo Jojo, assembles his team, which includes Fuzzy Lumpkins, Princess Morbucks, the Amoeba Boys, the Gangreen Boys, HIM, Duplikate, Bianca Bikini, Barbarus Bikini, the Sporde, Silico, Sedusa, Packrat, Manboy, and the other villains from other universes to form a team, so that they can defeat the Girls once they show up.
-The Girls make it to the 2016 universe. They fly over to their house, and Professor Utonium agrees to have them stay with them for the training days. After a lot of days of training, the Girls fly off to Townsville. They face Mojo and his gang, and try to battle him, but they are all outnumbered. 2016 Blossom tries to unleash the other versions of the Powerpuff Girls using the Orb of Alternate Universes, but when Bliss tries to stop her from doing so, 2016 Blossom pushes Bliss away. Bliss tries to use her telekinesis, but it doesn’t work. The villains could easily defeat the Girls, and Mojo swats the Girls, and they land into the junkyard with a thud. After an argument between Bliss and 2016 Blossom, the Girls all split up.
-Bubbles gets heartbroken about what 2016 Blossom did to them and starts crying. After 1998 Bubbles, 1998 Buttercup, the 1992 Girls, the PPGZ Girls, and the 2014 Girls went home to their respective dimensions, 2016 Buttercup tells 2016 Bubbles that there's no end of friendship ("We Don't Want To Be Far Apart") and 2016 Bubbles feels better and hugs 2016 Buttercup, and then they went home so 2016 Buttercup can watch a Space Tow Truck episode and 2016 Bubbles can go to sleep. She tells 2016 Buttercup good night and that she’ll see her tomorrow. Then, she hears crying in the other room. 2016 Bubbles walks through the doorway to Bliss’ room to see Bliss crying on her bed. She comforts Bliss and reminds her that she will always be a Powerpuff Girl and she will always be her sister, and the two hug. Afterwards, 2016 Bubbles tells Bliss good night, goes back to her room, and drifts to sleep.
-Meanwhile that night, a sad 2016 Blossom is sitting alone in the middle of the junkyard. She starts crying because of the argument she and Bliss had earlier. 1998 Blossom comes to her and comforts her. 1998 Blossom talks with 2016 Blossom, and 1998 Blossom tells her that it is never too late to do the right thing (“The Right Thing To Do”). Unfortunately, 2016 Princess Morbucks and her 1998 counterpart kidnap the Blossoms and takes them back to the 1998-2005 universe, sending them to Mojo Jojo’s lair. The next day, 2016 Bubbles wakes up to a new day, and finds a letter on Octi’s head, so she reads it, and in shock, she discovers that the Blossoms have been kidnapped, so she tells 2016 Buttercup about it, and then tell 1998 Bubbles and 1998 Buttercup about what happened, which discovered their Blossom has been kidnapped as well, and Bliss arrives to see what's going on. The Bubbleses and Buttercups arrive too, and tell the team that the Blossoms have been kidnapped, and the other Powerpuff Girls arrive too. Bliss and the Girls fly to the 1998-2005 universe using the Powerpuff Time Machine.
-Meanwhile, 2016 Mojo Jojo reveals to the Blossoms that he is now working for 1998 Mojo Jojo. The Mojo Jojos activate the killing machine to start erasing the Blossoms forever. The Girls arrive and were gonna rescue the two from the machine. However, they refused to rescue the two after 2016 Buttercup told them about how 2016 Blossom insulted Bliss yesterday. So they all left the two behind and went back to their respective dimensions.
-Later, they were all hanging out in Town Hall, but they were not happy. Bliss regrets denying the idea of unleashing Powerpuff Girls from other universes (“Selfless”), and realizes that Blossom was right: the best way to defeat them is to unleash the Powerpuff Girls of Infinite Earths, and 2016 Buttercup how much of a jerk she was about what she said. Bliss tells the Girls that she has to unleash the Powerpuff Girls of Infinite Earths because that’s what 2016 Blossom always wanted, and then tells 2016 Buttercup that they have to go back to the 1998-2005 universe to rescue the Blossoms, and 2016 Buttercup agrees. They gathered everyone from their universes again after they went home from refusing to rescue 1998 Blossom and 2016 Blossom, and using the Powerpuff Time Machine, they went back to the 1998-2005 universe, but this time, they actually rescue the two from the machine. The Buttercups unplug the machine. 2016 Blossom and Bliss reconcile, and the Girls promise to work together, this time as a team, and fly back to the 2016 universe.
-Blossom gives up her leadership to Bliss, who uses the Orb of Main, Parallel, and Alternate Universes to form the “Powerpuff Girls of Infinite Earths”: the Prehistoric Puff Girls, the Steamypuff Girls, the Powerpup Girls, the Powerpuff Animals, the 1920s Cartoon Girls, the dancing robotic Powerpuff Girls, the Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, Bunny, Bell, Bloom, Bullet, and many other versions of the Girls. They easily overpower the Villains, and then, Dynamo and Brambles take out the other bad guys. When Mojo Jojo and his crew have surrounded the Girls, Professor Utonium, the Derbytantes, and everybody else, come to their rescue, with the Derbytantes finally taking down the bad guys. Then, Mojo Jojo's evil primates arrive, but Bliss and 2016 Blossom work together to fight all the primates while singing Karmin’s “Brokenhearted”, joined by the 2016 Bubbles, 2016 Buttercup, the 1998 Girls, the 2014 Girls, the PPGZ girls, Professor Utonium, The Mayor of Townsville, Ms. Bellum, Maylyn, and the Derbytantes. After the other villains are defeated, Mojo Jojo injects himself with Chemical X and grows into a giant monster, and starts destroying Townsville. The Professor reveals that he has brought an Antidote X with him, but 2016 Blossom sacrifices herself to defeat giant Mojo Jojo by plummeting him onto the ground, causing a huge explosion. The Antidote X shrinks Mojo down to his original size, battered and defeated.
-All of the Girls, including Bliss, Professor Utonium, and Maylyn look for 2016 Blossom until Bliss finds 2016 Blossom’s unconscious body. Bliss tries to wake 2016 Blossom up, but it was no use. Devastated, Bliss hugs 2016 Blossom and starts crying as she mourns over her sister, who wakes up, and reveals to Bliss and the others that she has done what’s right. Bliss was happy that 2016 Blossom did the right thing, and 1998 Blossom says that she was proud of what 2016 Blossom has done. The police arrests all of the 2016 villains for all their crimes, while the other 1998, 2014, and PPGZ villains are returned back into their respective universes.
-With the Townsvilles finally at peace, all of the Girls are sent home to their respective dimensions. One week later, Townsville has now become more peaceful than before. The portal is fixed, and the bad guys are taken to jail. The 2016 Powerpuff Girls are glad that they don’t have to endure another multiverse-threatening crossover for at least another year, and they make a promise to keep saving Townsville no matter what happens (“The Big Finale”). The narrator says “And so once again, with the help of all of their past selves and main, parallel, and alternate versions, the day is saved, thanks to: The Powerpuff Girls! You know, it’s not hard to know this is the end of the series. I guess I’ll cut it off here. Good night everyone!” And then the song ends and the curtains close ("American Girl"), ending the film and the series.

 ==Production==
-===Development===
+=== Development ===
+During a 2000 interview with Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo, creator of Super Mario, he was asked a question on if there would be any other Super Mario-adapted movie. His response was he didn't want another Mario movie to be produced. After the box office disappointment of "Super Mario Bros." (1993), he never wanted to see a Super Mario adaption film again. But that changed in January 2002.
-After Warner Animation Group and Cartoon Network started development on films for a shared Cartoon Network universe, developers Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle announced a sequel to ''The Powerpuff Girls Movie ''for November 2024. This resulted in [[Wikipedia: The Powerpuff Girls (2016 TV series)|the 2016 reboot of ''The Powerpuff Girls'']] being brought back by Cartoon Network Studios on May 20, 2022 (the same day as the release of ''DC League of Super-Pets'') and renewing it for three more seasons (Seasons 4, 5, and 6), making this reboot conclude after six seasons (as well as the musical movie), the same amount as the 1998 series. All cringe and toilet humor in this reboot were permanently removed from the series (meaning no more twerking or outdated memes from Season 4 onward), as musical numbers, a lot of heart, and heartwarming messages were put in to replace the cringe and toilet humor previously used in Seasons 1-3. Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamides improved on their voice acting on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The trio in Seasons 4-6 the reboot was added up to four, with Blisstina being the newest member of the group.
+The film was conceived in January 2002 when Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies approached Canadian animation studio Games Animation Inc., and American animation companies O Entertainment and DNA Productions, after the success of "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius". John A. Davis of DNA Productions later approached Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, with plans to make a CGI film. Miyamoto's initial reaction was that he didn't want an adaption of Super Mario, as he was feared it would flop like "Super Mario Bros." (1993). But when John A. showed Miyamoto animation concepts of what the film would be, he agreed on production for the film.
-Starting with Season 4, the animators stopped using the digital ink and paint method for animating the episodes, resulting in traditional animation no longer being used for the series. Starting with Season 4, the animation studio for the series switched over to have 2 animation studios, which are Copernicus Studios and Bardel Entertainment in Canada, and as a result of that, the animators at the 2 aforementioned studios started animating the series using 2D and 3D computer graphics. The characters were 2D animated with Toon Boom Harmony, while the rest was animated in 3D with CG Maya (backgrounds, vehicles, trees, robots, etc). Soon after, Copernicus Studios provided all the 2D animation with Toon Boom Harmony, and Bardel Entertainment also provided some additional 2D animation with Toon Boom Harmony, but provided all the 3D computer graphics/CGI with CG Maya, meaning Brdel Entertainment provided all of the 3D/CGI animation for the series. The developers decided to animate everything (backgrounds, houses, trees, water (oceans, lakes, pools, and ponds), buildings, the sky, places (the inside of the places as well), all types of vehicles (land vehicles, sea vehicles, air vehicles, helicopters, planes, blimps, submarines, etc.) in CGI, except the characters (except in scenes where it would be too hard to put the 2D animated versions of the characters, which so they were also animated in CGI), so they can give it more realism and sometimes put the camera like in a real scene wherever they like.
+The official production began in June 2002, and the storyboard for the movie was created by Shigeru Miyamoto. The animation processes began on June 12th, 2002, with test animations being created and produced at DNA Productions, Inc. in Dallas, Texas. With Nintendo's animation division, ''Nintendo Animation'', and Nickelodeon's Canadian subsidiary, ''Games Animation Inc.'', the production was going swimmingly. With Miyamoto as head of production for Nintendo Animation, and Ryan Reynolds as head of production for Games Animation Inc., it was going well.
-All of the 3D computer graphics/CGI has been made in the same style, same frame rate, and same lighting as in the racing game by Playground Games (now part of Xbox Game Studios) [[Wikipedia: Forza Horizon 5|''Forza Horizon 5'']]. In addition, the characters were sometimes given the same shading as the backgrounds to further match it. The frame rate for the 2D animation has also been changed to match the same as with the CGI animation. Additionally, everything (backgrounds, houses, trees, water (oceans, lakes, pools, and ponds), buildings, the sky, places (the inside of the places as well), all types of vehicles (land vehicles, sea vehicles, air vehicles, helicopters, planes, blimps, submarines, etc.), minus the Utonium Residence house (even if animated in CGI), has been made to be realistic and look a lot like in ''Forza Horizon 5'', Microsoft’s amateur flight simulator program for Windows, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Xbox Cloud Gaming [[Wikipedia: Microsoft Flight Simulator|''Microsoft Flight Simulator'']] (air vehicles), and the multi-platform game by Rockstar Games [[Wikipedia: Grand Theft Auto V|''Grand Theft Auto V'']] Xbox Series X/S edition (buildings, houses, trees, buildings, the sky, places (the inside of the places as well), trees, water (oceans, lakes, pools, and ponds), and all land vehicles,). The City of Townsville has then been made to look so realistic, and has been made to look a whole lot like New York City, and in some parts, look like Los Santos from ''Grand Theft Auto V''.
+In on May 29th, 2004, 2 weeks before the premiere of the film, animators at DNA Productions, Nintendo Animation, and Games Animation were checking the animations for any animation errors and mistakes. Thankfully, there was no animation errors. The film was sent off to the Motion Picture Association of America/Motion Picture Association (MPAA/MPA), and the film received a "PG" rating, indicating Parental Guidance, meaning it had mild language, peril, mild crude humor, and violence.
-In some scenes where it would be too hard to put in the 2D animated characters into the CGI animated vehicles, the crew at Bardel Entertainment madd CGI versions of the characters to put in the backgrounds or vehicles to substitute the 2D animated versions of the characters.
+The film is directed by Conrad Vernon, John A. Davis, and Shigeru Miyamoto, along with it being written and storyboarded by Shigeru Miyamoto, and is produced by John A. Davis, Steve Oedekerk, and Albie Hecht.
-Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup will also improve on their singing (on the musical numbers) during these seasons, and Blisstina will have an amazing singing voice (provided by Olivia Olson/Alesha Dixon in the UK, African, and Australian versions). for the musical numbers. The fourth season will be in 2022, the fifth season will be from 2023-2024, and the sixth and final season will be in 2024.

+Lines provided by Charles Martinet, Samantha Kelly, Kenneth W. James, Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Debi Derryberry, and Jim Carrey were recorded at Paramount Recording Studios in Santa Monica, California. Casting direction was done by Paula Kaplan and Ginny McSwain.
+Overall, the budget was approximately $25 million.
-Starting with these seasons, Blossom redeemed herself back to being an intelligent, dutiful, and kind-hearted leader and abandon her “stereotypical, bratty, and mean-spirited” personality, Bubbles redeemed herself back to being the sweet and cheerful member of the four,  while also having an amazing singing voice, her own Ice Form (based on the Ice Form/Suit Power-up from ''Super Mario''), a kind heart, and a passion to grow up to become old and wise, and of course, she will abandoned her “psychotic, annoying, goody-two-shoes crybaby” personality, Buttercup abandoned her “complete bully” personality, banish all “butt-jokes” from her life forever, and redeemed herself into a tough but friendly model to her family and friends, and Blisstina appeared in more episodes of the reboot in Seasons 4-6, as she resigned as the member of the Universal Protection Bureau so that she will spend more time with her sisters, fight crime, and save Townsville alongside them; she also attended school with them.
+==Music==
-One of the other additions to this reboot is that Blisstina has her own bedroom, with a front doorway that leads straight to the Girls’ bedroom. The original songs for Seasons 4, 5, and 6 of the 2016 iteration of ''The Powerpuff Girls'' were written by ''The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part'' songwriter Jon Lajoie. The soundtrack album for the reboot was available on WaterTower Music. Seasons 4-6 also marked the return of Sedusa and Ms. Bellum, with Jennifer Hale and Jennifer Martin reprising their roles respectively.

+{| class="fandom-table"
-The first episode of Season 4 focused on Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Professor Utonium giving Bliss a new room, after she quit the UPB to spend time with her family, while the second episode focused on Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Bliss attending space camp for two weeks, and Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup explain to Bliss the events of ''Home, Sweet Homesick'', while the four try the park attractions and carnival rides (this is the first episode to have no songs at all), and the third episode featured Ms. Bellum returning to Townsville after she cut her vacation days short due to missing him (second episode with no songs at all).

+''The Super Mario Movie''<nowiki/>'s score was composed by English film composer John Powell. What John A. Davis and Shigeru Miyamoto wanted in the score was dramatic and soft/lighthearted tones of music, and John Powell soon delivered. In the beginning of the movie, John Powell's recreation of the Mario theme is heard playing, which caught the attention of many test audience members.
+=== Movie Soundtrack ===
-Danny Cooksey, Greg Cipes, and James Arnold Taylor voiced Brick, Boomer, and Butch respectively in Seasons 4-6, ''[[The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure]]'', and ''The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations''. These seasons were in tandem with the live-action reboot of ''The Powerpuff Girls'' on The CW.
+All music is written by Koji Kondo, Mahito Yokota, Ryo Nagamatsu, Hirokazu Tanaka, Soyo Oka, Shino Fujii, and Kenta Nagata, with the songs being composed by John Powell. Hang On composed by Smash Mouth.
-Seasons 4-6 had 1 or 2 songs for every 2 episodes (every other 2 episodes will have no songs at all; for example, the first 2 episodes will have songs, episodes 3 and 4 will have no songs, episodes 5 and 6 will have songs, episodes 7 and 8 will have no songs, etc.). If it’s a double length episode, then it had 3 songs. Each song lasted 1 minute and 45 seconds. The narrator also came back in Seasons 4, 5, and 6.
-Starting with Season 4, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup went back to wearing their nightgowns for sleepwear. In addition, Bliss also had her own nightgown for sleepwear in light purple. She also had her own swimsuit.
-The new theme song, intro, and end credits were updated to have Bliss in it. Plus, Craig McCracken came back to Cartoon Network to join the 2016 collaborators.
-The extended 2 minute and 13 second version of the new theme song, which is sung by Blossom (Amanda Leighton), Bubbles (Kristen Li), Buttercup (Natalie Palamides), and Bliss (Olivia Olson), as well as used for Seasons 4, 5, and 6, was also included in the end credits, after “American Girl” by Bonnie McKee and “Me & My Girls” by Fifth Harmony. The title for <nowiki>''</nowiki>The Powerpuff Girls<nowiki>''</nowiki> (2016) new theme song, sung by Blossom (Amanda Leighton), Bubbles (Kristen Li), Buttercup (Natalie Palamides), and Bliss (Olivia Olson), is titled “Ready, Steady, Go!”, which is a parody of “Ready, Steady, Go!” from the 2021 <nowiki>''</nowiki>Teletubbies<nowiki>''</nowiki> album, “Ready, Steady, Go!”. The end credits song is “Best Friend Song” performed by Rebecca Sugar.
-As a result of Seasons 4, 5, and 6, much like Season 5 of the 2016 reboot of ''Ben 10'', the animation was brilliant and a step-up from the previous three seasons, resulting in no more animation errors happening. Seasons 4, 5, and 6 were much more faithful to the original source material than the last two seasons, as it has more crime-fighting and less slice-of-life scenes, complete with musical numbers, heartwarming moments, and a lot of heart instead of cringe, toilet humor, memes, and twerking (which many considered the worst of one of the first three seasons) that Seasons 1, 2, and 3 had. Mojo utilizes his famous language and speech patterns again in Seasons 4, 5, and 6, Princess Morbucks was less greedy about money, the Mayor of Townsville redeemed himself back to being a 100% funny comic relief, and the Professor redeemed himself back to his characterization he had from the original series. Blossom still has a crush on Jared, Bubbles is still a computer geek, and Buttercup is still good at math. Pokey Oaks Kindergarten was fixed and reopen from Season 4 onward. Mitch Mitchelson also returned in the 2016 reboot, with Tom Kenny reprising his role.
-As for Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, they were much like their 1998 counterparts. The reboot now felt like an actual reboot that’s done right. Craig McCracken came back to Cartoon Network to join the 2016 collaborators.
-''The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure'' takes place between the fifth and sixth seasons of the 2016 reboot of ''The Powerpuff Girls'', and ''The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations'' takes place after the sixth and final season.
-There was also a 3D and Dolby Vision re-release of 2002’s ''The Powerpuff Girls Movie'' to be released on July 8, 2022, to honor the film’s 20th anniversary, and it was commercially successful, grossing over $900 million worldwide.
-===Animation===
-The traditional 2D animation was handled by South Korean animation studios Sunmin Image Pictures (2016 Powerpuff Girls) and Rough Draft Korea (1998 Powerpuff Girls) for Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California, while CGI animation for the 2014 Powerpuff Girls was handled at British CGI animation studio Passion Pictures, and the anime-style animation for the ''Powerpuff Girls Z'' characters was handled at Japanese animation studio Toei Animation, while the live-action versions of ''The Powerpuff Girls'' (from the CW live-action reboot) were recorded in Georgia, which they were put in green screens, and edited in. The animation for the LEGO Powerpuff Girls was provided by Animal Logic, while the animation for the Funko Powerpuff Girls was provided by Funko Animation Studios. The animation for the ''Teen Titans Go!'' versions of the Powerpuff Girls will be handled at Bardel Entertainment and Copernicus Studios. Like ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'', the film was a combination of live-action, traditional animation, and computer animation.
-=== Casting===
-On June 19, 2023, Amanda Leighton was cast as 2016 Blossom.

-** Because of the LEGO Powerpuff Girls being transported into the 2016 universe, ''[[The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure]]'' is one of the universes connected within the Powerpuff Girls multiverse.
-* The Powerpuff Girls from Bleedman's PPGD webcomic also got transported to the 2016 universe.
-*Craig McCracken, the creator of the original Powerpuff Girls series, said that he approved this movie, along with Seasons 4, 5, and 6 of the 2016 reboot and ''[[The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure]]''.

+On the IMDb (Internet Movie Database), the film has a rare score of 10/10, with its consensus reading "As the first actual adaption to a beloved Nintendo franchise, ''The Super Mario Movie'' works to its full 90 minute runtime.
