Nintendo has ignited excitement among fans by debuting a new trailer for the highly anticipated Super Mario Galaxy Movie, set for release in the coming months.
The fresh footage provides a thrilling first look at several beloved and newly introduced characters from the acclaimed Super Mario Galaxy universe, including fan favorites Yoshi and Birdo, as they make their big-screen entrance. Set to premiere on January 25, 2026, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie is Nintendo’s next major foray into cinematic adaptations of its iconic game franchises.
Following the successful partnerships that brought Mario to the silver screen in previous years, this installment draws direct inspiration from the critical and commercial hit "Super Mario Galaxy," originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2007 and later made available on the Nintendo Switch via the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection.
The film aims to bring the imaginative world and dynamic interplanetary gameplay of the original to a global moviegoing audience. The teaser trailer offers vibrant visuals and dynamic sequences, featuring Mario exploring gravity-defying planets, soaring through cosmic landscapes, and—most notably—teaming up with Yoshi and encountering Birdo for the first time in the Galaxy storyline.
The trailer also showcases lush environments and whimsical new creatures sure to delight both longtime fans and newcomers.
A highlight is the playful chemistry between classic Mario characters and the expanded roster of allies and adversaries that the film promises to deliver. In an official statement accompanying the trailer, Nintendo emphasized their commitment to honoring the spirit of the beloved franchise while introducing fresh elements for the cinematic experience.
According to the Nintendo development team, the vision for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie is to "capture the wonder, adventure, and heart of the classic game, while introducing new stories and characters that will resonate across generations." The Super Mario Galaxy Movie marks a collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination, the studio behind successful animated features based on gaming properties.
This film comes on the heels of the blockbuster Super Mario Bros.
Movie, which set records with its box office performance and demonstrated a robust appetite for high-quality video game adaptations. Anticipation is especially high given the enduring popularity of Super Mario Galaxy within the Nintendo Switch library and continued strong sales of Mario titles on the platform.
With the movie's release date of January 25, 2026, fast approaching, fans can expect additional updates during future Nintendo Direct presentations and exclusive content to roll out via the eShop. With the debut of Yoshi, Birdo, and a host of surprises, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie stands poised to establish another milestone for Nintendo’s cinematic universe, expanding the reach of one of gaming’s most celebrated franchises.
