Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer introduces Princess Rosalina
The Super Mario Bros. Movie dominated the box office in 2023, racking up $1.36 billion and snagging several Oscar nominations for good measure. So naturally there's a sequel, and Nintendo just dropped the official trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, due out next spring.
(Spoilers for the 2023 film below.)
The first attempt at a Super Mario movie adaptation in 1993 was notoriously a dismal failure, although it still has its '90s-nostalgic fans. But 2023's Super Mario Bros. Movie won over gaming fans who were skeptical about another adaption-including Ars Senior Gaming Editor Kyle Orland. This film version captures all the fun and vibrancy of the Mario games, with enough references to familiar characters, items, and locations to make even a die-hard Mario fan's head spin," he wrote in his 2023 review, adding that, despite a few flaws, the film was everything that a 10-year-old version of me could ever have dreamed a Mario movie could be."
