Description

Nintendo and Dark Horse Books have officially announced a unique collaboration: the release of Rosalina’s Storybook, a hardcover book inspired by the heartwarming tale and visual artistry featured in Super Mario Galaxy.

The highly anticipated volume is set to arrive at retailers worldwide on November 25, 2025, promising to captivate fans of the series with a beautifully illustrated adaptation of one of the Nintendo Switch era’s most fondly remembered stories. Super Mario Galaxy, originally launched for the Nintendo Wii, has been celebrated for its innovative gameplay and rich storytelling.

One memorable highlight from the title is the tale of Rosalina and her connection to the Lumas, a narrative that is now getting new life in this collaboration between Nintendo and the renowned publisher, Dark Horse Books.

The partnership continues a successful tradition between the two companies, who have previously worked together on critically acclaimed volumes, such as The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. According to the official product description, the book "opens with the story of a young girl who discovers a weathered spaceship containing a small star child named Luma." The narrative follows their extraordinary journey, as the pair embarks on a quest in search of a single answer but ultimately discovers something even more profound.

The storybook chronicles Rosalina’s emotional connection with the Lumas and explores the origins of their special bond. "This is the story of Rosalina and the Lumas, and how their deep relationship came to be," the description further elaborates, blending the magical charm of Super Mario Galaxy with evocative illustration and prose tailored for fans both young and old.

By bringing the in-game storybook to print, Nintendo aims to expand the Super Mario universe beyond the confines of the console, reinforcing the enduring impact of its storytelling in the gaming community. Dark Horse Books, known for their high-quality publications of beloved gaming franchises, continues to broaden the reach of classic Nintendo narratives through collector’s edition releases and lavish hardcover adaptations.

With Rosalina’s Storybook, both Nintendo and Dark Horse Books reaffirm their commitment to enriching the legacy of iconic games through new media formats. Fans eager to revisit the emotional core of Super Mario Galaxy or introduce new readers to Rosalina’s story will be able to find Rosalina’s Storybook at bookstores and online retailers globally starting November 25, 2025.

This release is expected to resonate with the broader Nintendo Switch community and collectors seeking to celebrate the franchise’s history in unique and tangible ways.
