Awesome Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Gives Us Bowser Jr. and Beloved Rosalina
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the long-awaited sequel to 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Fans were ecstatic to hear that the beloved Super Mario Galaxy games would be adapted into a movie and wondered what sorts of outer space adventures Mario, Luigi, and the gang would be in for. Well, on November 12’s Nintendo Direct, the first trailer for the movie dropped, showing us old friends, along with a certain space princess.

The trailer, which was showcased during November 12th’s Nintendo Direct, opens with Bowser, seemingly plotting something in his castle. However, it turns out that he was working on a painting of himself and Peach (he hasn’t given up on his Peaches). Fans will remember that he turned tiny after eating a Mini Mushroom at the end of the first Super Mario Bros Movie. Now he’s got a tiny castle in Peach’s castle and seems to be enjoying himself – but that might be misleading.
Bowser throws a tantrum after Mario calls his art “trash,” but he quickly recovers himself, saying that was the old Bowser talking. Hmm, perhaps he’s up to something? Then we see a shooting star shower fall over the Mushroom Kingdom, followed by Peach and Toad being launched into space. We get some glimpses of the small planets we might remember from the Super Mario Galaxy games.
Two New Beloved Characters
Things turn south with the reveal of our main villain, who’s come to rescue his father. Yes, it’s Bowser Jr., voiced by Benny Safdie, wearing the mask and wielding the paintbrush we remember from Super Mario Sunshine. As with the first movie, it looks like we’ll be getting lots of references to various Mario games. You also have to wonder if the other Koopa kids will be showing up.
But that’s not all. The trailer ends with the reveal of the beloved mother of the Lumas, Princess Rosalina herself. Yay! We only briefly see her fighting off one of Bowser Jr.’s mechs with her magic wand, but that’s enough to get us excited. She will be voiced by Brie Larson, who will likely be a good match for her strong character. Galaxy fans (myself included) will definitely be pumped to see her.
What Can We Expect from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
The movie will likely involve Bowser Jr. rescuing his father and turning him regular size again, after which they can plot their revenge together. How will Rosalina be involved? What sorts of adventures will our heroes find themselves in as they travel through space? As a huge fan of both the first movie and the Galaxy games I am eagerly awaiting The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Bring on Rosalina! It’s her turn to shine.
