Hello and welcome to our live blog for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie‘s official trailer reveal!

I’m Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter here at TechRadar, and I’ll be here for the next few hours as we count down towards the release of the highly anticipated film’s trailer unveiling.

So, grab yourself a power-up, put your feet up, and follow along with me as we prepare for the teaser’s arrival. Yahoo!

What time is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer going to be released?

Alright, let’s begin by answering the biggest question on your mind: when will the trailer be with us?

As the above X/Twitter post from Nintendo of America revealed two days ago, it’ll receive its world premiere on Wednesday, November 12 at 6am PST / 9am EST / 2pm GMT. It won’t be long, then, until we’re reunited with Mario and company for their next big-screen adventure.

What we know so far about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

It’s only been a couple of months since the first official details about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie dropped. Indeed, Nintendo only revealed the title, cast, and release window for Mario’s next animated movie in mid-September. A 30-second teaser, which you can watch above, was also unveiled.

So, what did we learn? For starters, it’ll land in theaters worldwide on April 3, 2026. Cast-wise, every major character who appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Movie – except Donkey Kong – are returning for the sequel.

Lastly, its story will take inspiration from the two Super Mario Galaxy videogames, which were released in 2007 and 2010. Based on who appears in that duo, we’ve got an idea of which franchise characters will make their big-screen debuts in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, too…

Whose else is part of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s cast?

Right now, there’s one character who’s all but confirmed to appear, but two others might be part of proceedings as well.

On the former, Yoshi, Mario’s trusty dinosaur steed, is set to be involved. Yoshi’s addition to this sequel’s cast was first teased in one of The Super Mario Bros. Movie‘s post-credits scenes, so it’s inevitable he’ll have an integral role to play.

We’ve already caught a glimpse of what he’ll look like in The Super Mario. Galaxy Movie, too. As spotted by notable leaker and X/Twitter user Wario64 (see above), leaked images of a Pillsbury cookies box show the adorable green-hued Nintendo icon’s animated film form in all his glory.

Given the film’s strong ties to the Super Mario Galaxy videogame series, I’d be amazed if Rosalina and her star-like companion Luma aren’t involved. Be on the lookout for confirmation of this pair’s cast inclusion via the upcoming trailer.
