As someone who’s spent countless hours exploring every nook and cranny of the Mushroom Kingdom, I’m here to share everything we know so far.
When Will The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Be Released?
Mark your calendars! The Super Mario Galaxy Movie release date is April 3, 2026. That gives us a three-year gap since the first movie landed on April 5, 2023. Nintendo dropped the news during a special Nintendo Direct on September 12, 2025, along with a sneak peek.
Is There a Trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
Yes, there is! The first trailer premiered on September 12, 2025, during a Nintendo Direct. Check it out below:
The trailer introduces us to Rosalina, voiced by Brie Larson, and a mischievous Bowser Jr. While it keeps the plot under wraps, the visual effects look like they’ve had a serious upgrade since the last film. Even from the quick glimpses, the intergalactic landscapes already promise a visual spectacle. I remember thinking the textures looked a little flat in the first movie, but this trailer looks like a whole different ball game.
Who Are the Actors in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Cast?

We’ll also hear Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black roaring as Bowser, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad.

What’s the Storyline of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
Plot details are still scarce. However, drawing from the game, we can anticipate the movie to involve the Star Festival, a comet, and Bowser’s grand kidnapping of Princess Peach and her castle to outer space. Mario, of course, will chase after her and team up with Princess Rosalina, who has had her home, the Comet Observatory, invaded and its power source (Power Stars) stolen by Bowser.
Mario’s mission? Recover the Power Stars and rescue Princess Peach. The trailer’s desert scene hints that elements from Super Mario Odyssey might appear, mixing up the storyline. It makes you wonder, how much will they stick to the original game’s plot?
Will The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Have Post Credit Scenes?
Given the popularity of post-credit scenes in modern movies, and how much audiences loved the first movie, it’s entirely possible that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will feature one or more post-credit scenes to tease future installments or provide additional character insights.
How Will Rosalina’s Story Be Adapted in the Movie?
Rosalina’s backstory is quite moving. In the game, she watches over the cosmos and protects lost Lumas. Given Brie Larson’s casting, it’s likely the movie will explore her history and connection to the stars, possibly even showing how she became the protector of the galaxy.
What Kind of Music Will Be Featured in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
The original Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack is iconic, and it’s expected that the movie will incorporate orchestrated versions of classic themes, alongside new compositions that capture the wonder and adventure of the galaxy.
The Super Mario Galaxy movie promises a nostalgic trip filled with cosmic adventures and familiar faces. Will this movie reach new heights, or will it fall into a black hole? What are you hoping to see in the movie? Leave a comment below!
