The highest-grossing film based on a video game ever, The Super Mario Bros. Movie will finally start streaming 120 days after its smashing success at the box office. Before Barbie blew up the theaters, the Super Mario film had the biggest opening weekend of the year, earning $204 million in the first five days of release.

If you missed its theatrical run or you’ve been waiting patiently to watch it for a second (or third or fourth) time, your wait is over, because we’ve got all the details on how to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie online. We can even tell you how to watch the movie online for free (spoiler alert: Spectrum and Xfinity customers are in luck). The blockbuster hits Peacock on Aug. 3 at 3 a.m. ET, and it’s available to rent or buy right now on Prime Video.

Here’s everything you need to know to head to the Mushroom Kingdom.

What is The Super Mario Bros. Movie about?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is part adventure, part origin story. The plot follows brothers and plumbers Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) as they stumble their way into the Mushroom Kingdom from New York City. Along the way, the brothers get split up, leaving it up to Mario to find and rescue Luigi from the ruthless fire-breathing Bowser (with the help of Princess Peach).

Mashable Film Editor Kristy Puchko said the film was “designed to be a crowd-pleaser,” and “is loaded with fan service,” although she was left underwhelmed with the flick as a whole (read her full review here). Even so, it’s proven to be a huge hit among kids.

Check out the official trailer below.

When can I stream The Super Mario Bros. Movie?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is already available on digital, Blu-ray, and DVD. Now, as of Aug. 3, it will also be available to stream on Peacock. There’s even exclusive bonus content included with the streaming version — something you usually only see with digital and DVD purchases.

Is Super Mario Bros. Movie on Disney Plus?

While you may associate all things animated with Disney, The Super Mario Bros. Movie comes from Illumination Entertainment — the animation studio behind the Minions movies. Illumination is under the wing of Universal Pictures. Therefore, Peacock has exclusive streaming rights to the star-studded film.

How to stream The Super Mario Bros. Movie

The Super Mario Bros. Movie officially hits Peacock on Aug. 3. If you’re already a subscriber, you’re good to go. Just wait for the film to appear on its premiere date. If you don’t already subscribe to Peacock, we’ve rounded up the best streaming deals for you. Here are the best ways to watch Mario and friends defend the Mushroom Kingdom — right from your own couch.

Best for most people

Despite its recent price hike, Peacock still remains one of the most affordable streaming services at just $5.99/month (for the Premium Plan with ads). If you want an ad-free viewing experience, you’ll have to fork over an extra $6 per month and pay $11.99/month (for the Premium Plus Plan).

If you just want to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie and bounce, subscribing for a single month and canceling is probably your best bet. But if you want more bang for your buck, you can save 17% by opting for an annual subscription rather than a monthly subscription. You’ll pay more up front, of course, but in the long run, you’ll pay less.

Best Peacock Deal for Xfinity customers

The original Xfinity Peacock deal ended on June 26, but select customers still have the ability to secure a free subscription, so listen up! If you’re an Xfinity internet customer with gigabit speeds, congrats — you get two free years of Peacock Premium. Xfinity internet customers who are diamond or platinum rewards members can also redeem a reward to receive Peacock Premium for free.

Just sign into xfinity.com/rewards, select the Peacock reward, and wait for an email with instructions on how to activate the offer. NOW TV customers can also secure a free Peacock Premium subscription as part of their service.

If you previously received Peacock for free with your X1 or Flex service, but no longer are eligible for the free offers above, all hope is not lost. You can still score a discounted subscription through August 25 and pay just $2.99/month instead of $5.99/month for an entire year.

Best Peacock Deal for Spectrum customers

Xfinity customers don’t get to have all of the fun. Spectrum TV customers can also claim a Peacock reward and watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie online for free.

If you’re a Spectrum TV customer, you get an entire year of Peacock Premium for no cost, while Spectrum internet customers can enjoy 90 days for free. You’ll want to double check the terms and additional eligibility restrictions and be sure to sign up before December 7, 2023.

Best Peacock Deal for students

Students looking to throw a Super Mario Bros. watch party will be happy to know they can secure a Peacock Premium subscription for only $1.99/month. The offer is valid for an entire year. The only requirements are that you have a verifiable student status with SheerID. Once you’re verified, you’ll receive a unique promo code to knock the usual $5.99/month cost down to just $1.99/month. Note that these codes can only be used once.

Best for first responders

Similar to the student discount, first responders can also snag a year of Peacock Premium for only $1.99/month. You’ll be asked to verify your first responder status with SheerID, then you’ll receive a unique promo code to knock down the price. Eligible first responders who continue to meet verification qualification may renew the offer annually, but you’ll need a new promo code to secure the deal each time. Check out eligibility details and offer terms here.

Does Peacock still have a free plan?

Technically, Peacock has recently done away with their free tier for new customers, most likely in an effort to gain more paid subscribers. But, here’s a pro tip: if you subscribe to Peacock Premium for a month, then cancel your subscription, you’ll be downgraded back to the free tier. So, while it’s “no longer available” on the surface, it’s totally still available. Of course, in order to stream premium content like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, you’ll need to subscribe to a paid Premium Plan.

Other ways to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie online at home

If you just can’t fathom the idea of signing up for yet another streaming service just to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie, you can rent or purchase the box office hit from digital video-on-demand platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, and Apple TV+ in up to 4K quality. With rentals, you generally have 30 days to start watching and 48 hours to finish once you start.

If you choose to purchase a digital copy of the film, you can stream it whenever you want. It’ll cost you more up front, but you won’t have to stress over monthly payments and remembering to cancel subscriptions at specific times.

Best non-streaming option

Unless you’re one of the lucky Xfinity or Spectrum customers that qualifies for free Peacock Premium subscription, you’ll have to pay to watch the Mario movie. Right now, the cheapest way to watch this movie is to either rent The Super Mario Bros. Movie from Amazon Prime Video or sign up for Peacock Premium.

It costs $5.99 to rent the movie in UHD, much better than the $19.99 price if you purchase a digital copy. However, you can also sign up for Peacock Premium for $5.99, except you’ll have tons more TV shows and movies to watch when you’re done.
