The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Spring 2026)

Does anyone seem to think that the events in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will actually be part of a story that Rosalina is reading to the Lumas? It would strongly indicate that the video from the following X post will be the very beginning of the movie, and it would even reference Super Mario Galaxy 2's bonus cutscene after the credits.

I thought Rosalina would be the movie's framing device too, very looks like that's the beginning scene of the movie.
 
I fully expect this movie to be a bloated mess of stuff where the plot is extremely thin and mostly an excuse for set pieces.

You know like the first one.

That and Yoshi is probably the reason I likely won't be seeing this in theaters. The first movie, despite having Baby Luigi in it, had me wanting (plus it had the shock value and the first time Baby Luigi ever appeared in the big screen). I'm better off waiting for a full screen HD release of the film and looking at Baby Luigi there.

Or maybe since there are SMB2 elements in the movie, it's actually just a big dream Mario having.
 
Seeing Mouser is great, but when Keegan Key said there'd be "deep-cuts", my mind mostly went to characters like Oogtar or Uncle Kong. Whereas Mouser is a recurring set piece in a mainline Mario game. A very old mainline Mario game, but still.

Absolutely thanks to Super Show he is wellknown, but technically he is still a one-off for Super Mario franchise.

It's especially a big miss he didn't catch up the train of super influential Mario spinoff rosters for him to be further remembered. Taking DK Jr as example, despite of his deletion from the canon, his existence in early rosters still make him known by modern gamers.
 
Keep in mind Keegan Key isn't in cahoots with the Mario series like us here. I can't find a good equivalent, since someone like Mouser did appear in a show as a major antagonist, but it's like a Zelda movie referencing Jermafenser.
 
I think I agree with all of you i'm not going to see the movie and maybe protest against watching it because it looks like he's going to be a very bad movie
