So, let’s just dig into this weird little nugget. Japan getting a movie called “Super Mario World” – I mean, is that a first? Or maybe they just go, “Yep, Super Mario Bros 4 sounds good.” Who knows.
Okay, so NBC Universal – I know, I know, why are we talking NBC on a Nintendo site? But stick with me. They dropped this bomb at their upfront thingy: the next Mario movie’s got a title. Or maybe they just said it in passing. You decide.
They did one of those formal press release things. Picture it: “Super Mario World” casually thrown in a list of films set to stream on Peacock. You know, Peacock – where NBC Universal, hanging out with Illumination (Nintendo’s movie buddy), plans to drop this bombshell. Or maybe they just whispered it among a bunch of other names, like Megan 2.0 (sounds techy, right?), and who can forget good old Shrek and Minions?
So, yeah, Super Mario World – they’ve penciled it in for release on April 3. Seems it’s part of their big plans for 2025-26. But, like, who’s keeping track, really?
