Your squad was part of the challenge. They aren't meant to help you, they're there to make it tougher to get medals because you have to keep them alive.
Some of nintendo's properties would make excellent movies or shows. Star Fox, F-Zero, and Splatoon immediately come to mind as those properties are full of expressive and stylish characters.
But Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc movies just don't need to be made. They are template IPs that were always designed to serve the gameplay, which is what Nintendo used to excel at. Movies about those properties are doomed to be shallow, unfaithful, or just a string of dopamine hits like the Mario movie.
What’s wrong with a video game movie being a string of dopamine hits? Do you really imagine a splatoon movie being some thought-provoking dramatic tour de force?
Splatoon has several subplots and lore items that would make for a good movie. I would expect something along the lines of a classic dreamworks or pixar movie.
I loved that game. Only annoyance was your squad wasn’t much help

Makes sense. I didn’t have a Super Nintendo very long (friend left it over when he spent the night so I had it for a month).
Do a barrel roll!
Just give the Fox in Space guy a budget.

You mentioning making a movie out of F-Zero makes me think of Redline, a fantastic anime movie about racing in space that came out about 10 years ago.
I would love to watch another movie like it.

Mario movie was great fun, was simple just pure fun like the games.
