Unveiling The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer A Breakdown of Hidden Easter Eggs and Surprises
Nintendo has unveiled the first official trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the highly anticipated sequel to the successful Super Mario Bros. Movie. The trailer was showcased during a Direct stream that featured the introductions of key characters like Rosalina and Bowser Jr., alongside their voice actors, Brie Larson and Benny Safdie.
A Closer Look at the Trailer
The trailer opens with a miniature Bowser engaging in an artistic endeavor within his castle. After consuming a mini mushroom at the previous film’s conclusion, he is depicted wielding a paintbrush. This visual hints toward the emergence of his offspring later in the trailer.
- Bowser’s artworks feature characters and scenes from the broader Mario universe, including:
- A Boo
- Smiling flowers from Yoshi’s Island
- Bowser’s iconic Koopa Clown Car
Next, the scene shifts to Mario and Princess Peach, who observe shooting stars over the castle, setting a cosmic tone that foreshadows the film’s storyline. Following this, Peach and Toad utilize a recognizable star portal from the Mario Galaxy games, launching themselves into orbit.
Adventurous Elements and References
The adventure continues with two characters dressed in red and green, presumed to be Mario and Luigi, riding motorbikes through a desert landscape. They leap over sand dunes towards an inverted pyramid, an homage to Super Mario Odyssey’s Sand Kingdom.
Additionally, Princess Peach is shown battling Ninjis with an umbrella in a neon-lit casino arena, a nod to both Ninji Jump Party from Super Mario Bros. Wonder and the Sirena Beach Casino in Super Mario Sunshine. Ninjis were first introduced in Super Mario Bros. 2 and have appeared in numerous titles since.
Bowser Jr. and His Role
Bowser Jr. makes his entrance, equipped with a paintbrush reminiscent of his appearance in Super Mario Sunshine. He appears to be the film’s primary antagonist, on a mission to rescue his father. His more advanced design features metallic armor, a robotic voice, and a paintbrush that transforms into a morning star.
Debuting Rosalina
The trailer features Rosalina, the cosmic heroine from the Mario Galaxy games, as she sneaks out of Princess Peach’s castle. Here, she encounters Megaleg, a robotic boss familiar to players of the Mario Galaxy series. Rosalina employs star magic in their confrontation, showcasing her formidable skills.
- The music at the end includes a nostalgic reference to the Gusty Garden Galaxy.
A secondary scene highlights Brie Larson as the voice of Rosalina, enriching the character as she reads a storybook to Lumas. They amusingly request a story about the plumbers instead.
Future Character Revelations
The trailer wraps up with glimpses of Bowser Jr. in his traditional attire, leaving fans curious about the evolution of his futuristic outfit. While Yoshi’s presence in the film has yet to be confirmed, expectations are high for an array of characters, including some that longtime fans may recognize.
As reported by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri, the film promises an “incredible range of characters,” hinting at exciting surprises for viewers. With fans eagerly anticipating the film’s release, the question remains: where is Birdo?
