Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Unveils Yoshi, Birdo, and New Characters Ahead of 2026 Release

Nintendo has officially unveiled a new trailer for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, generating significant excitement just months before its scheduled release.

The trailer, first showcased during a recent Nintendo Direct presentation, highlights a vibrant cast of familiar and new faces destined to delight both longtime fans and newcomers to the Mario universe. Set to premiere on June 25, 2026, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie has become one of the most anticipated animated films in Nintendo’s history.

Building on the massive cultural popularity of the Super Mario Galaxy video game series, which debuted on the Nintendo Wii in 2007 and later appeared on Nintendo Switch, the film adaptation promises to capture the whimsical spirit and intergalactic adventure that made the franchise a household name. The latest trailer reveals the long-awaited return of Yoshi, Mario’s loyal dinosaur companion, now joining the animated saga with his signature flair and playful personality.

Notably, Birdo—another beloved character from the Mario canon—makes her cinematic debut, bringing new dynamics to an already star-studded ensemble.

These additions expand the roster of Mushroom Kingdom heroes joining Mario and Luigi as they traverse stunning cosmic landscapes and face new challenges. Nintendo has worked closely with series veterans to ensure authenticity to the source material, focusing on vibrant animation and a faithful recreation of the game’s imaginative worlds.

Speaking on behalf of the development and animation team, a Nintendo spokesperson explained that their goal has been to “offer viewers a joyous, immersive experience that fuses the thrill of the original games with a fresh, cinematic vision for all ages.” The Super Mario Galaxy franchise has enjoyed tremendous commercial and critical success, with over 12 million copies sold worldwide across its original Wii release and subsequent reissues.

This enduring legacy sets the stage for the movie’s ambitious storytelling and vibrant visual design, both of which are reflected in the new trailer’s sequences—showcasing gravity-defying platforming, whimsical orchestration, and colorful interstellar worlds. Fans can expect the Super Mario Galaxy Movie to be available in theaters globally, with a digital home release planned to follow its theatrical run.

The film’s release and corresponding promotional efforts, including exclusive merchandise and Nintendo eShop tie-ins, underline Nintendo’s commitment to expanding Mario’s universe beyond interactive experiences and into mainstream family entertainment.
