US Edition16 Years Later, Nintendo Just Updated Super Mario Galaxy 2 With a New Storybook Chapter
- On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Nintendo released a surprise update for Super Mario Galaxy, adding a new storybook chapter called Once Final Chapter to the game on Nintendo Switch.
- Alongside the new chapter, Nintendo added a fresh music track to the Nintendo Music app, fixing several issues for a smoother experience on the title that first launched on Wii in 2010.
- Players can access the chapter by clearing any galaxy and earning a Power Star, which features Rosalina meeting a mysterious girl rather than tying into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
- Fans have responded positively to the unexpected arrival, with ToadlyToad writing that "mainline Mario can still have a good and heartwarming story," while Nerdofthewind noted the epilogue helps accept Rosalina's personality shift.
- The story depicts Rosalina reassuring herself, representing her journey since travelling the cosmos alone, while Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has suggested future games will reflect film revelations though this update remains separate from that lore.
