After a couple days of anticipation since Nintendo announced a movie-specific Direct some days ago, many were eager to see what the new movie could hold in store for Nintendo and their main IP in the big screen, after the success that was the first Mario Bros. Movie.

Yesterday, Nintendo officially released the first trailer for the "Super Mario Galaxy Movie", which sees many familiar faces included into the trailer, with some interesting twists and callbacks to many assets, places and other characters from the story of the franchise.

The trailer starts off with Bowser being kept in his mini-sized state, alongside a mini-castle, making a painting of him and Peach. The first half of the trailer focuses on this scene from the movie, while after it, we get a glimpse of Peach and Mario atop Peach's Castle gazing at the huge amount of shooting stars, before Peach and Toad jump into a Launch Star from the Mario Galaxy game. We then shift focus to Luigi and Mario riding motorcycles across a desert, which seems to be inspired by the Sand Kingdom from Super Mario Odyssey. The next brief scene shows Peach getting attacked by a bunch of Ninji enemies in a casino setting, with a close resemblance to the roulette from the Boo boss in Super Mario Sunshine's Sirena Beach hotel. Then the trailer cuts to the reveal of Bowser Jr. with his magic brush, attacking the Mario brothers to free his father from them. We get the title reveal, and to close off the trailer, we get a glimpse of Rosalina being attacked by the Megaleg boss from Super Mario Odyssey, only for Rosalina to fend it off easily with her magic wand.

The "Super Mario Galaxy Movie" is set to release in April, 2026 on theaters worldwide.

I'd be interested to know how the writing will be for this second outing. I can understand sidelining Luigi to emphasize Mario's story in the first movie, but it'd be nice to see them work together in this one.

My guy you’re like an entire day late

It’s all about the new SpongeBob SquarePants movie trailer today

 

[Mama Dizzys]

still gotta watch the first one but i guess all i really have to say about this is the same as before:
that's neat

Trailer looks amazing, I'll bet it's already better than the previous Mario movie, no contest.

Does Mario have a new voice actor? It doesn't sound like the Jurassic World guy, but probably is as it'd make sense to stick with the same one.

I wonder if it'll be another bland boring baby film again. Who am I kidding? of course it will

The trailer looks a lot more promising than the previous Mario flick (it was good, but didn't really enjoy it).

This will be lovely!

A lot of people were bad mouthing the trailer on X and the YouTube comments!
But let's be honest, Nintendo Fanatics have no restraint, through all that online drama, they will see it day one and make it the best movie in theaters world wide the first weekend.

At this point when it comes to Nintendo anything, even a slight amount of negative, will just end up in high sales numbers and they'll make another film after that.

It can filmed with a turd with sugar on it, and people will still say it was some sweet shit.

I wonder now if there will be a 'Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga' movie at some point?

Exactly

Oof, that makes me think about what a Super Mario RPG movie would be like. If you get the right director, the Forest Maze scenes would be legit.

Not to mention Luigi was M.I.A. during 90% of it.

 

[HarveyHouston]

April. Again? Why?

...Meh, whatever. I'll still try to go see it. It looks like fun.

 

[Reecey]

I wander if this gets leaked before the big release red carpet day it’s a usual Nintendo event so I won’t be surprised

 

[The Catboy]

First one was mid, bet this will be mid

 

[MrCyan]

Sweet, after the trailer I wasn’t very impressed with bowser jrs voice acting though. His voice should have been more high pitch like in the games

Y'know, I know you said Baby, but I felt like logging in specifically to reply with this:

Agreed the first was "mid," but this trailer got me very interested.

 

[KingVamp]

I guess I'll go a bit against the grain here and say I like the first movie. Even without DK, I'll probably like the second one better.
