Continuity mistake: When Mario first consumes the Blue Mushroom, he emits a light that causes Donkey Kong to shield his eyes. However, later in the movie, when Peach forces Bowser to consume the same mushroom, no light is emitted. (00:49:15 - 01:21:22)

Princess Peach: There's a huge universe out there. With a lot of galaxies. They're all counting on us.
Trivia: Spoilers! There are two credit scenes. In a mid-credit scene, a miniaturized Bowser tries to play his "Peaches" song again, only for a Toad guard to yell at him. In a post-credit scene, it is revealed that a Yoshi egg is in the sewers of New York. It begins to crack and the familiar voice of Yoshi is heard as the screen cuts to black.
Question: Why is the Princess called Peach instead of Toadstool and why is the main villain called Bowser instead of King Koopa?

Answer: "Princess Toadstool" was used in the original English-language manual, but she was Peach in the original Japanese, and that name continued in later versions, being combined with Toadstool. Bowser was originally called "Kuppa", but presumably the English-language version resonated more with people, plus removed any confusion of "Kuppa, King of the Koopas", so the English version stuck.
