The first teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has also been released, showcasing some striking visuals that set the stage for another visually captivating film. The direction team from the first film, Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, are on board once again, ensuring continuity in the film’s creative vision. Matthew Fogel returns as screenwriter, with Brian Tyler also returning to compose the musical score.
The original Super Mario Bros. movie was a monumental success, grossing $1.36 billion and becoming the second highest-grossing film of 2023, only trailing behind Barbie. It also set records as the highest-grossing video game adaptation in cinema history. Given its success, a sequel was swiftly announced on Mario Day (March 10) in 2024, with the release date set for April 3, 2026—exactly three years after the debut of its predecessor.
As the Super Mario Bros. franchise approaches its 40th anniversary in 2025, Nintendo has plans to celebrate by releasing Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the new Switch 2 platform, further expanding the reach and enjoyment of these classic games.
