FULL STORY ======================================================================

Nintendo has officially confirmed The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be the title of its next animated film.

The sequel to Nintendo and Universal's multi-billion dollar-spinning first venture, aka The Super Mario Bros. Movie , was announced during September 2025's Nintendo Direct live show . The title unveiling was accompanied by a teaser trailer and initial cast reveal, plus a reminder that Mario's next big-screen adventure will arrive in April 2026. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

For those unaware, the title of Nintendo and Universal's latest silver-screen team-up takes its cue from the Japanese game maker's Super Mario Galaxy series. The sub-franchise's two entries see the legendary plumber take a trip into outer space after Bowser does what he does best: kidnapping Princess Peach and imprisoning her because, well, he's Bowser.

Speaking during this month's Nintendo Direct livestream, though, Chris Melandandri, founder of the animation company Illumination, which made The Super Mario Bros. Movie and will lead development on its sequel, said
