Nintendo fans and collectors have a new release to look forward to this year: the beloved narrative from Super Mario Galaxy, known as Rosalina's Storybook, is receiving a dedicated hardcover edition.
Nintendo has partnered with publishing giant Dark Horse Books to bring this treasured storybook out of the digital realm and onto physical shelves for the first time.
Launching November 25, 2025, this edition will be available via the official My Nintendo Store website in the United States and select regions, priced at $24.99 or the local equivalent.
Rosalina's Storybook, originally featured within the acclaimed platformer Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii, tells the emotional backstory of Rosalina and her connection to the Lumas—the star-like creatures iconic to the Galaxy titles.
This storybook captivated players with its charming narrative and hand-drawn illustrations, embodying the heart and wonder of the Mario universe.
Now, as both Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, continue to resonate with fans and new players alike, Nintendo's decision to immortalize this narrative in a physically printed format highlights the enduring appeal of its characters and worlds.
The newly announced hardcover bears the full original story and artwork, making it a must-have for Super Mario enthusiasts and collectors of Nintendo memorabilia.
However, it's important to note, as clarified during the recent Nintendo Direct broadcast, that the hardcover edition "does not include newly added pages from the Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 games."
The official product description, provided by Nintendo and Dark Horse Books, invites readers to rediscover Rosalina’s origins: "Our story begins a very, very long time ago with a young girl who spotted a rusted spaceship holding a small star child, Luma.
This tale follows their adventures together, revealing the special bond they form in their search for meaning across the galaxies."
Fans eager to secure a copy of Rosalina's Storybook can sign up for an email notification on My Nintendo Store to be alerted when preorders open.
While Nintendo is no stranger to celebrating its legacy with special releases, this collaboration with Dark Horse Books stands out as a meaningful tribute to one of the Mario series' most touching narratives.
With the physical edition set to arrive just in time for the holiday season, it's poised to become a cherished addition for long-time fans and newcomers who wish to explore the enchanting world of Rosalina and the Lumas beyond the screen.
