Nintendo and Illumination have unveiled the first trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the highly anticipated sequel to 2023’s blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Set to hit theaters in April 2026, the trailer promises a dazzling interstellar journey that expands the Mushroom Kingdom into the far reaches of space.
A Star-Filled Plotline
The trailer opens with a meteor shower cascading over the Mushroom Kingdom, triggering Mario and Luigi’s cosmic quest. The brothers venture beyond their familiar terrain, exploring new worlds inspired by Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey. One standout location is the Sand Kingdom, a nod to Odyssey’s desert realm.
Meanwhile, Bowser—now miniaturized and confined to a tiny version of his castle—is up to his usual mischief. He’s painted a provocative portrait of himself and Princess Peach, sparking Mario’s fury and setting the tone for a quirky, high-stakes showdown.
