The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been winning hearts and shattering records. The Nintendo-Universal collaboration is on its way to becoming the highest-grossing animated movie ever. While Mario and Luigi are obviously the two main characters in the movie, Bowser has risen to be the unexpected people’s champion. Fans saw the fearsome princess-nabbing monster to have a soft side, that wooed many movie-goers. Now Jack Black, the musician responsible for voicing Bowser, took center stage performing Bowser’s ballad-like “Peaches” from the movie and fans can’t stop saying how great he is.

In the Hollywood Bowl 2023, Black performed in his signature style for the 10th Anniversary Game Awards.
