The animated sequel to Super Mario Bros. Movie has received an important update. The new film, titled Super Mario Galaxy the Movie, has confirmed the presence of Fox McCloud , star of the Star Fox Nintendo cinematic universe

The revelation came via an official image released on social media. Although both series were created by Shigeru Miyamoto, it's rare to see Mario and Star Fox together outside of crossovers like Super Smash Bros.

Expanding the Nintendo universe in film

In addition to Fox McCloud, the film will also feature appearances by characters such as Rob, the classic NES robot, and the Pikmin creatures. These elements reinforce the intention to connect different Nintendo franchises in a single production.

The film is an animated feature produced by Illumination in partnership with Nintendo. It is scheduled to premiere in April 2026 in several countries, including Japan and Western markets.

Super Mario Galaxy is a platform game originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2007. The story follows Mario as he explores galaxies to rescue Princess Peach, introducing innovative gravity mechanics and distinct space settings.
