Mario's Big Adventure is a book published as part of Random House's Step into Reading series. The book was written by Mary Man-Kong and published by Random House on April 11, 2023.[1] The book is aimed at first through third graders at 24 pages and is a paperback adaptation of The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
On March 2026, the book was republished as part of McDonald's The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Happy Meal promotion, serving as an alternative to the toys. New pages with character descriptions for Rosalina, Lumas, Yoshi, and Bowser Jr. were included at the end.
Differences from the film[edit]
- The book starts with an introduction to Bowser, Mario, and Luigi before cutting to the scene with Mario and Luigi working for their plumbing business in Brooklyn.
- Koopa Troopas are referred to as "evil turtles". The Happy Meal reissue refers to them as "loyal turtles" instead.
- Every scene following the Kongs, Toad, Princess Peach, and Mario driving towards Rainbow Road has been cut, including the ending. Because of this, the book received negative reviews on online listings.[citation needed]
