Surprise Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct Announced for This Weekend

  • On Jan. 25, Nintendo will present an exclusive look at The Super Mario Galaxy Movie during a Nintendo Direct on Nintendo's YouTube channel at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT.
  • With a theatrical release set for April 3, Nintendo will showcase an exclusive look at Illumination's sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, announced in September 2025.
  • So far, viewers have only seen a limited Mario and Luigi scene, while new cast additions include Brie Larson as Rosalina and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr., with Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key and Kevin Michael Richardson reprising their roles.
  • Cutting off Galaxy 3 speculation, Nintendo wrote that no game information will be included, and the Sunday 9 a.m. slot may blunt coverage, with promotion expected to ramp up afterward.
  • Beyond the Direct, 2026 is shaping up as a big year with Mario Tennis Fever in February and Super Mario Bros. Wonder in March following the 40th anniversary.
