The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Is it too obvious that Nintendo and Illumination are extensively hyping up The Super Mario Galaxy Movie? Not content with the November 2025 Direct and another from last January, the former announced yet another dedicated Direct for the film on March 9th.

While it’s debuting yet another trailer for the highly anticipated film, this one’s different – it’s the “final” trailer, which is probably Nintendo’s way of assuring fans that it won’t get any more dedicated Directs. You still have to wonder what could be showcased. After all, we got locations from Super Mario Odyssey, the reveal of Yoshi (who faces down a T. rex with a Super Scope), Rosalina, Bowser Jr., and much more.

Of course, there have been leaks about other characters that have yet to be revealed (including one particular purple nemesis of Mario’s). Perhaps this is Nintendo finally letting the cat out of the bag? Time will tell.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie premieres on April 1st in theaters in the United States. While the future of additional Mario films remains unknown – don’t even get us started on the video games – The Legend of Zelda will also get a big-screen adaptation. And unlike the Mario movies, it’s live-action with Bo Bragason playing Zelda and Evan Ainsworth playing Link. It premieres in May 2027, with the first trailer yet to be revealed.
