Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! (Japanese: スーパーマリオブラザーズ ピーチ姫救出大作戦!, Hepburn: Sūpā Mario Burazāzu: Piichi-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!) is a Japanese anime film from 1986. It is based on the popular Super Mario Bros. video game.
The movie was directed by Masami Hata. It tells the story of Mario and Luigi as they try to save Princess Peach. She has been captured by King Koopa. This film is special because it was the very first movie ever made based on a video game. It came out seven years before the live-action Super Mario Bros. movie.

Story of the Movie
The film begins with Mario playing his Family Computer (which is like an old Nintendo console). Suddenly, he sees a girl on the TV screen. She is crying for help from enemies. She then jumps right out of the TV!
After the enemies leave, the girl introduces herself as Princess Peach. But then, King Koopa appears and also jumps out of the TV. Mario tries to fight him, but Bowser is too strong. He captures Peach and takes her back into the TV. Mario finds a small necklace that Peach dropped.
The Journey Begins
The next day, Mario and Luigi are working at their grocery store. Mario is worried about the necklace Peach left behind. Luigi thinks it is a special "Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure."
Soon, a small dog-like creature named Kibidango comes into the store. It snatches the necklace from Mario! Mario and Luigi chase Kibidango. Their chase leads them all the way to the Mushroom Kingdom.
Saving the Kingdom
When the Mario Bros. arrive, they meet an old hermit. He tells them that Bowser has taken over the kingdom. Bowser is turning the helpless citizens into blocks! The hermit also warns them that King Koopa plans to marry Peach on Friday the 13th.
The hermit advises Mario and Luigi to find three special powers. These are the mushroom of strength, the flower of courage, and the yellow star of invincibility. They need these powers to defeat Bowser and save Peach.
The Final Battle
Mario and Luigi go on a long adventure. They face many dangerous challenges. But they manage to get all three powers by Friday the 13th.
That night, Mario arrives at King Koopa's castle. The wedding of King Koopa and Peach is just starting. With the help of the three powers, Mario successfully defeats Bowser. Bowser's magic is destroyed, and the Mushroom Kingdom returns to normal.
When Mario gives Peach her necklace back, Kibidango appears in his true form. He is actually Prince Haru of the Flower Kingdom. Haru explains that King Koopa had turned him into Kibidango. He also tells Mario and Luigi that he and Peach are meant to marry each other.
Mario feels sad but decides to leave the Mushroom Kingdom. He wants Peach to marry Haru as planned. After a tearful goodbye from Peach, the Mario Bros. begin their long journey home. After the movie credits, Mario and Luigi wave goodbye as they enter a pipe that says "Grouper Productions."
After the Story
In a short scene after the credits, a customer visits the grocery store. She finds that Bowser and his helpers are now working there as punishment! She is very happy with the better service. The background changes to blue, and the words "Game Over" appear. The Super Mario Bros. "game over" music plays.
