Now growing up... man, I spent hours of my life stomping... ... KOOPAS... in the original Mario Brothers arcade game... at my local... laundromat. And then of course it came out of Nintendo, and I played that -- I mean uh -- maybe years of my life? Uh.... it's... it's an honor, truly... to, to be able to speak to the man who created, those, memories for me and it's... it's an honor to work alongside you. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to become Mario. Um... That-- uh-- tha- that dream, like all dreams, faces one critical challenge. As in the film, I must face off against... an utterly, ruthless, scene-stealer. Every great hero needs a diabolical enemy, and I promise you I could NOT HAVE BEEN PAIRED WITH A MORE PERFECT King of the Koopas, BOWSER! ...than my friend, the great; and hilarious; supremely talented... Mr. JACK BLACK!
