Speculation about the plot of the film “Super Mario Galaxy”
Possible spoilers further Super Mario Galaxy movie.
Nintendo hasn't released a story synopsis CMGM more. However, thanks to the trailer and what happened in its predecessor, we can learn a lot about its plot.
As a first teaser, well, it teases, Super Mario Galaxy games aren't the only ones that have influenced his storytelling. Various shots in the trailer contain major references to Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Odyssey, The Miracle of Super Mario Bros.And Paper Mario. So, Nintendo's legendary mascot's full catalog of games clearly inspired the story of this film and its wider universe.
It looks like Bowser Jr. will also be the main villain – or at least a co-antagonist. The trailer reveals that he will try to save his father, who was miniaturized and imprisoned during the war. CMBMthe climax from Princess Peach's Castle.
For what purpose we don't know yet, but the smart money is on the father-son duo teaming up to steal more Power Stars – and that's where Rosalina could fit into the picture.
You see, Rosalina is the main protector of the Lumas, star-shaped creatures who first appeared in Super Mario Galaxyy, and some of them can turn into Power Stars. Considering that Bowser acquired the Power Star and threatened to use it to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom unless Peach agreed to marry him, the prospect of more Power Stars falling into the hands of Bowser and his son frightens everyone else.
As powerful as Rosalina is, she probably won't be alone in protecting Luma. Peach and Toad, who will use a star portal to travel through space. Super Mario Galaxy movieare set to team up with a character Peach has long been rumored to be involved with. Well, until they are overwhelmed by the horde of Ninjas that attack them in the trailer and movie.
Mario and Luigi, who are traveling somewhere, it seems OdysseyThe Sand Kingdom from the teaser is expected to join the fight against Bowser, his descendants and their minions after siding with Peach in Movie “Super Mario Brothers”. Yoshi should join them too if and when the brothers meet the iconic long-tongued dinosaur in their latest adventure.
Let's hope the actual story synopsis (and another trailer!) gets released online sooner. CMGM will be released in theaters, which should give us even more information and/or clues about what to expect from Nintendo and Universal's budding cinematic universe.
Where can I watch the movie “Super Mario Brothers”?
Unfortunately, Movie “Super Mario Brothers” does not appear in any world best streaming services'reverse directories.
You can rent or buy it on a variety of premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms, including Amazon shop, Apple TV and YouTube. If you were hoping to stream it “for free,” meaning on a service you're already subscribed to, you're out of luck.
Let's hope that changes in the lead up to CMGMrelease. If so, then its most likely destinations would be Netflixwhich was CMBMinternational house and Pavlin TValso known as a streamer owned by NBCUniversal, which is also the studio that distributed the film in theaters.
Will there be another Mario movie?
We don't know. However, if Super Mario Galaxy movie is as financially successful as its billion-dollar ancestor – and there's no reason to suspect it won't be – it's inevitable that a third animated Mario film will be greenlit.
CMGM and a potential sequel aren't the only film adaptations being worked on by Nintendo Stars, the recently renamed film and television division of the iconic Japanese company.
Adaptation to live action The Legend of Zelda The game series is scheduled for release in May 2027. Principal photography began this month (November 2025) in New Zealand, with cameras starting to roll four months after Nintendo Confirms Who Will Play Link and Zelda in the upcoming film.
