Nintendo Levels Up With “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie”
Mario is back, and this time, he’s headed to the stars! Nintendo and Universal dropped the first trailer for “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” during Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct livestream, and it’s packed with cosmic adventure, humor, and all the nostalgic magic Frens could ask for.
The trailer kicks off with Mario and Luigi taunting a pint-sized Bowser, who’s still paying the price for eating that Mini Mushroom at the end of the first movie.
In true Bowser fashion, he’s still obsessing over Peach, even painting a dramatic portrait of the two together, only to be hilariously shut down by Mario.
But when a sky full of shooting stars lights up the night, the Mushroom Kingdom crew, Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Toad, strap in for a galactic journey that takes them across wild new planets, from one made entirely of water to a desert world with upside-down pyramids straight out of Super Mario Odyssey.
Familiar Faces And New Power Players
Fans will be happy to know that the voice cast from the billion-dollar hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie is back.
Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Charlie Day all reprise their beloved roles.
New to the lineup are Brie Larson as the powerful Princess Rosalina and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr., who’s out here channeling his Super Mario Sunshine energy with a magical paintbrush that doubles as a metal-flinging weapon.
Rosalina, on the other hand, shows off her cosmic magic by battling a massive spider-like robot solo. Queen behavior.
A New Era For The Super Mario Universe
Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic and written by Matthew Fogel, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” takes inspiration from the 2007 Wii classic, one of the most beloved Mario games ever made.
The original Super Mario Galaxy followed Mario’s interstellar mission to rescue Peach and collect Power Stars scattered across the universe.
After The Super Mario Bros. Movie raked in $1.3 billion globally, it’s safe to say this sequel has some big boots to fill.
But judging from the trailer, it’s ready to blast past expectations when it hits theaters in April 2026.
Watch the trailer below and get ready to grab your Power Stars, because this one’s going to be out of this world.
