I mean, having actual big time actors do VA for a movie is always the logical move to make if you want to sell your movie, and depending on who you pick to voice the characters, it can REALLY work. I was one of the people who was super hyped and excited when I saw that Idris Elba was voicing Knuckles.

Jack Black as Bowser COULD work. If Jim Carrey made it work as Eggman, Jack Black is just as capable as doing it with Bowser. Especially if it's a more comedic Bowser like in the RPGs.
...But fucking Chris Pratt as Mario??? Really?? And I don't even hate Chris Pratt, I think he's a fine actor. But as Mario?!?
Why not just let Charles Martinet voice the role and have Chris Pratt be another supporting character similar to like they did with James Marsden for the Sonic movie.
And Seth Rogan as DK? WTF is that all about?!?
