总觉得报导有点奇怪，所以去翻了一下英文新闻。

这篇新闻中导演是这么说的：
Horvath added that having Mario rescue Peach in the film would be too straightfo
rward as the story has been told repeatedly throughout the games, with the direc
tor instead being inspired by Super Mario 3D World.
简单翻译就是总是让玛利欧去救碧琪太单调了也太多游戏用了这套路，
导演受“超级玛利欧3D世界”这个游戏的影响比较大。
而超级玛利欧3D世界这款游戏本来碧琪就是可操作角色，跟玛利欧一起去救妖精王国的公主
。
"Luigi, who’s a famously nervous, anxious character, finds himself in the worst
possible predicament: having to survive interrogations with Bowser, and make it
through that gauntlet," he explained.
导演另外提到路易吉给人的印象是紧张、焦虑，所以才决定让他担任这个被救的角色。
另一篇新闻也有相近的说法：
https://bit.ly/42oA7y7
According to Horvath, the idea of Mario rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser was
"too straightforward" for the movie. Although this familiar storyline has played
out through many Super Mario video games – Super Mario Odyssey, in particular
– Horvath was inspired by another Mario game, one which is his own favorite: Su
per Mario 3D World. Princess Peach isn’t a damsel in distress that needs rescui
ng from the evil Bowser in Super Mario 3D World, but a playable character just l
ike the Italian plumber himself.
导演灵感来自超级玛利欧3D世界这款游戏，他在玛利欧作品中最喜欢这作，
并向记者解释在该作中碧琪不是等著被救的少女而是可操作角色，
所以导演不但没有说“碧琪将跟游戏不一样”，而是在推坑说他喜欢的游戏。
另外新闻也解释了为什么电影中碧琪看起来很强势，因为她是蘑菇王国的君主，
而那些子民看起来太弱太废了，他难以相信如果碧琪给人柔弱的印象那怎么保护子民
（所以上篇新闻的“让碧琪去保护大家”的大家指的是蘑菇王国居民而不是主角团，
明显被偷换概念了）。
结论就是这篇新闻是记者超译，
就算中文新闻是抄英文的，那也是特定英文新闻记者自己扩张了导演的说词，
导演本人并没有说自己创作的碧琪形象比游戏更好，
而是说他参考的是碧琪能当操作角色的游戏。
