Our Take On The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s тιтle Reveal

However, the first Mario movie already dropped a few hints about its galactic expansion in the follow-up. The 2023 box office hit features a nihilistic blue Luma and uses Rainbow Road as a setting. Princess Peach also mentions Bowser (Jack Black) endangering the galaxy, potentially setting up the stage for the sequel to take place in space.

The тιтle reveal also further indicates that Rosalina will be a key figure in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, with her being the protector of the Lumas. While it’s unclear whether the nihilistic blue Luma will return, the teaser trailer does introduce a yellow Luma, the most common variety.
