Hold onto your power-ups! Universal Pictures and Illumination Animation have revealed a short and hilarious TV spot for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie during the Super Bowl, teasing the next chapter in the animated Super Mario Bros. universe. In just 15 seconds, fans got a peek at the giant T-Rex from previous promos alongside the beloved green dinosaur Yoshi, who is now the marketing star of the sequel. With cosmic adventures on the horizon, Mario and friends are ready to take audiences far beyond the Mushroom Kingdom.
Set in the vast expanse of space, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie follows Mario, voiced by Chris Pratt, as he navigates interstellar worlds, battles galactic challenges, and teams up with Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), Luigi (Charlie Day), and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) to save the galaxy. Iconic characters like Bowser (Jack Black) and Kamek (Kevin Michael Richardson) also return, promising plenty of chaotic fun. The sequel builds on the massive success of the first Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), which earned over $1.3 billion worldwide.
Co-directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, who also helmed the original movie, the film is produced by Chris Meledandri and Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto. The screenplay is written by Matthew Fogel, known for The LEGO Movie 2 and Minions: The Rise of Gru. True to the franchise’s roots, the movie brings the classic video game worlds created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi in 1983 to life, now with high-flying space adventures, dazzling animation, and plenty of laughs.
Fans are especially excited to see Yoshi getting a major spotlight, as the TV spot shows the dinosaur in action alongside Mario’s new cosmic exploits. From battling space creatures to exploring uncharted planets, the film promises family-friendly comedy, colorful animation, and galactic thrills that appeal to both kids and nostalgic adults who grew up with the games. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie looks set to combine humor, adventure, and heart—the perfect recipe for a blockbuster animated hit.
Mark your calendars for April 1, 2026, when Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi blast off into theaters worldwide. With Illumination’s signature animation style, a star-studded voice cast, and Nintendo’s beloved characters, this is one galactic adventure you won’t want to miss.
