The latest “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” trailer is creating some buzz online for a small yet significant change in how Mario performs his iconic “wahoo” shout.
The change appears to be in response to fans who have taken issue with actor Chris Pratt’s previous delivery of the “wahoo” line, which is shown at the end of the trailers as the character races down Rainbow Road.
Pratt’s delivery in earlier iterations had some fans expressing concern online that the actor was unable to capture Mario’s enthusiasm.
“Lol literally everything but Chris Pratt is perfect,” one user wrote.
