Talk:The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Mario movie 2

It got its name: “The Super Mario Bros Movie 2” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Super_Mario_Bros._Movie_2_logo.jpg
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Austin819 (talk).

Take it with a grain of salt: it's a fanmade logo. I do not know the exact source of it, but people used it in fanmade trailers from last year back in April; the first movie wasn't even a month old at that point, and a sequel was far from being confirmed either. Now, I have heard that IMAX did show off this logo recently (I suppose during SDCC), but since it's identical to a fanmade logo that's been floating around the internet for at least a year and three months, I'm 100% certain they just plucked a good-looking logo off the internet without knowing if it's actually legit or not. rend (talk) (edits) 19:33, July 27, 2024 (EDT)

It's not a fanmade logo. https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/super-mario-bros-movie-sequel-title-logo-report/ It lists all the official logos, including The Super Mario Bros Movie 2
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Austin819 (talk).

Did you read my message thoroughly, or did you stop at the first sentence?
Again, it was already used in fanmade trailers from last year back in April, which was WAAAAAY before this movie was announced on Mario Day this year, meaning this logo has to be fanmade and mistakenly used by IMAX. There's NO WAY the official logo for a sequel movie would be unveiled nearly a year in advance of the film's proper announcement and when the first movie is still in theaters. So, again: take that logo with a grain of salt. rend (talk) (edits) 11:34, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

If it was used in a semi-official format, though, surely it's worth mentioning?

"In an SDCC presentation regarding upcoming films, IMAX referred to the movie as The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, utilizing a logo that has been circulating the internet since well before the film's announcement."

seems perfectly encyclopedic to me. 73.171.104.211 12:13, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

That could work.
I do wish we knew the original source of the fanmade logo though, so we could accurately verify that it's fanmade. But I can't really find a perfectly good source that predates the fanmade trailer I found (which already looks like it has poorly removed the background, meaning it has to predate that fan trailer), and any sources that use this image prior to SDCC are also posted after the fanmade trailer (e.g. the logo on Wikipedia is from June 4 of this year, one on DeviantArt I found was from October 2023, etc). rend (talk) (edits) 14:27, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

Take a closer look from the logo for the first movie. And the other logo above. Can you tell the difference? Can't list link as anti-abuse feature (don't know why it exists) (talk user:Austin819) 13:08, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

It'd be nice if the logo was real and all but the Wikipedia link you sent clearly states that it isn't an official logo if you scroll down a bit to where it says Other information. - KinokoBlast (talk) 13:15, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

Why is the first movie's logo relevant in this conversation? What I'm saying is that this logo you keep showcasing is the exact same logo as the one that's used in this fanmade trailer from over a year ago (it's even in said fanmade trailer's thumbnail), and that IMAX used this fan logo by mistake. I've said that three times now; how is that difficult to understand?!
Heck, if you look at the file history of this logo on Wikipedia, you'll notice that this was uploaded on June 4, 2024, which also predates the apparent """reveal""" by IMAX on July 25, 2024. rend (talk) (edits) 13:36, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

It seemed that in sources of Cinemacon, the film for this is mentioned as "The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2". It's not much but it's more like a working title name for it. Bmaster2020 (talk) 19:03, April 11, 2025 (EDT)

Seems like we've got our official title now. It is indeed called "The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2": https://x.com/Minions_Fanboy/status/1965888314285887926 Defefefe (talk) 08:21, September 11, 2025 (EDT)

I call cap on that: the links are not viewable (one even redirects to one of those "fill two of these options to proceed" pages). Mariuigi Khed 09:03, September 11, 2025 (EDT)

From what the original user who posted this said, the links aren't active yet, but are very likely to go active after the direct tomorrow: https://x.com/Minions_Fanboy/status/1965967528905339304 Defefefe (talk) 13:33, September 11, 2025 (EDT)

Sci-fi theme?

So, somebody on Twitter found that one of the film's distribution sites lists that one of the genres this film will have is "science fiction".

It's been added. Mario JC 08:25, April 27, 2025 (EDT)

Is it a good idea to add a production section?

Like there's been many interviews about the cast talking about a sequel, including wanting to reprise their roles from the original, which says a lot.
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by ILoveBFDI1215 (talk).

I'm waiting for a reply. ILoveBFDI1215 (talk) 17:23, May 16, 2025 (EDT)

It's a bit premature. I would say these kinds of sections are typically best documented after the release of the movie, due to NDA (nondisclosure agreements) and all. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:42, May 16, 2025 (EDT)

Moving to "Super Mario World" might be premature

I'm not entirely convinced yet that "Super Mario World" is the official title. Note that in that press release, the new Shrek and Minions films are referred to by their franchise names rather than actual titles, so it's very possible that this is just a placeholder title and isn't final. I would support holding off on a page move until we have a definitive title and/or logo. Reese Rivers ^{(talk | contribs)} 22:26, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

seconded. i don't vibe with moving a temporary title to another temporary title. — eviemaybe (talk) 22:34, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

I also agree with you two. I could move it back if you like. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 22:45, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

It's also listed with movies whose titles have been confirmed, so we don't know if it isn't temporary either. Even if it might be, we have used tentative titles before ("Super Mario" for Super Mario 3D Land, "Paper Mario" for Paper Mario: Sticker Star) and I think this is a better temporary article title than "Untitled The Super Mario Bros. Movie follow-up" and a case of "might as well use what we have", considering the source it came from (an official press release). It also seems deliberately far off from the name "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" for it to have been a mistake. Mario JC 22:45, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

Have movie titles ever been prematurely confirmed in that similar manner before? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:46, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

Not that I'm aware of. Mario JC 22:59, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

Maybe we can add a footnote saying something along the lines of, "While this name has not officially been confirmed by Nintendo itself, it was used in a press release from NBC Universal." Mario JC 22:59, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

I'd prefer moving the page back and adding a note along those lines specifically about the "Super Mario World" name, without assuming that's the current working title. Reese Rivers ^{(talk | contribs)} 23:07, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

The press release has been updated to remove the mention of Super Mario World, along with "Shrek" and "Minions". Don't know what effect this has on the naming situation, but it seems pertinent. --PopitTart (talk) 23:28, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

I'd say move the page back now. It would be good to write a note mentioning the Super Mario World name and its removal from the press release. Reese Rivers ^{(talk | contribs)} 23:30, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

Oh, welp, likely a mistake or a premature name drop, then. I'll move it back. Mario JC 23:39, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

Possible Movie Poster I found

I found what looks like a poster for this film (link here). Since the title was seemingly revealed in the press release article from NBCUniversal, this poster began to appear around the Internet, even after the title was removed from the article. Does anyone know if this poster is actually official? If it is not official, then it should not be added to the main article until further notice. CBFan5 (talk) 11:53, May 17, 2025 (EDT)

It's all convincing but the crack and the egg's texture, way different from the post-credit scene. If it's not fake, it might be a preliminary test, still... as of now, it's 80% fake. Mariuigi Khed 12:33, May 17, 2025 (EDT)

I think it's fanmade, I found the full image and in the bottom right it says "@nintengamersng" and nintengamersng is an account on Instagram and Threads and they posted the image there. --Martendo (talk) 04:20, May 21, 2025 (EDT)

Old spice leak

It should be added to the page that a line of old spice tie-in deodorants have been spotted that seem to imply that:

1. The movie will be called "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie." 2. Yoshi and Tostarenans will be present

These deodorants are likely real, as the trademarks for them were reserved 2 months ago.

Rosalina in the Film?

The article says that Lumas are cared by Rosalina. Is there any source that confirms she will be in the film? She definitely will be since it is adapting Super Mario Galaxy, but we need a source as confirmation before assuming she will be in it. CBFan5 (talk) 14:21, September 12, 2025 (EDT)

There was a Luma at the end of the teaser. Of course this film will have Lumas and Rosalina involved but we have to wait til another trailer kicks in before we can put Rosalina down. Bmaster2020 (talk) 18:40, September 12, 2025 (EDT)

Question About Images

Why did we remove some of the images from the article? I'm refering to the ones that were originally in the "Species" and "Mushroom Kingdom Wildlife" boxes, since they're not here anymore. Hi 7:07 PM, October 12th, 2025

Because they were screenshots from the previous film. They should use images from this film if possible (though if there isn't a clear enough shot from the trailer, better to wait for more footage) since otherwise having the first film's images can be misleading, especially mixed with the second film's images. Mario JC 08:21, October 13, 2025 (EDT)

Understood then. Hi 12:57 AM, October 13th, 2025

Yoshi Cookies

So uh, some Yoshi egg cookies based on this movie just got revealed today. But this doesn't seem to be like the other leaks, so I'm not sure how to incorporate this into the page: https://shop.topsmarkets.com/store/tops-markets/products/83425108-pillsbury-ready-to-bake-yoshi-egg-sugar-cookie-dough-9-1-oz Defefefe (talk) 16:09, November 9, 2025 (EST)

Adding to this, the back of the cookies' packaging seems to show what appears to be a Bowser Jr. symbol and a spacecraft resembling the Comet Observatory. This whole leak looks promising, but we should still wait for the official trailer before adding them to the article itself. CBFan5 (talk) 16:43, November 9, 2025 (EST)

Actually those leaks are official. The time when multiple posters were leaked in 2022 before on the day the official trailer released were real. Still waiting for Rosalina. ILoveBFDI1215 (talk) 18:19, November 9, 2025 (EST)

I feel that if you're going to share leaks, probably get information divorced from the shop's website because they probably will take that down in short notice. As for how we cover leaks, I feel unless Nintendo themselves screw it up, we probably shouldn't, see MarioWiki:Spoilers. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:22, November 9, 2025 (EST)

How can all of you be so certain that it's unintentional or a "leak"? I mean, I guess it's a leak in the most literal sense of "receiving information early", but we don't call the trailer a leak. This could very well be Nintendo intentionally drumming up hype by releasing merchandise for the film before its release. Besides, if this really was a leak, don't you think Nintendo would have issued out some sort of statement or taken it down by now? Ihavenoideaboyo (talk) 13:04, November 10, 2025 (EST)

@Ihavenoideaboyo The product listing appears to have been taken down. Nelsonic (talk edits) 01:39, November 11, 2025 (EST)

Edit it now!

I just had a update that Homepride of the UK (I think) are selling official Yoshi Cookies for the Movie and the box has our first look at Yoshi. 209.198.129.116 12:41, November 10, 2025 (EST)

About Yoshi...

I get he didn't appear in the recent trailer at all, but he is pretty much GOING to appear in the movie. Because:

A. The post-credits scene in the first movie. They would NEVER have put that there if it didn't mean anything.

B. We have more evidence to prove the Old Spice leaks and cookie leaks are real. The Old Spice bottles had Tostarena on it, and in the trailer, Mario and Luigi were GOING to that place. The cookies also had Bowser Jr's emblem on it, and guess what? He appeared in the trailer.

C. Nintendo released this direct AWFULLY close to the cookie leak. It can't be a coincidence.

Now, if you genuinely want to wait until he's 100% confirmed, I'll understand. I just think there's a lot of evidence that suggests he will appear no matter what. Hi 2:01 PM, November 13th, 2025

I think we're all in agreement with you. The fact that they didn't show him at all in the trailer is weird. DK Fan

I mean, Spike was the first ever revealed character, and listed as one of the "major" character in the cast, and we had to wait for the movie to see his big return. Mariuigi Khed 16:31, November 14, 2025 (EST)

That post-credits scene confirmed Yoshi at 70 percent. I don't know why the cookie leaks would be fake as Nintendo hasn't taken them down. Also Spike is considered a minor character for me. ILoveBFDI1215 (talk) 16:37, November 14, 2025 (EST)

Maybe they're not taking them down because the leaks were intentional. I think the best solution is to wait for official comformation, but at LEAST make a note of the cookies and Old Spice leaks somewhere. Then the note can be taken down once he's confirmed 100%. Hi 3:09 PM, November 14th, 2025

Neckerchief

@BitChippy Super Mario 3D World is the game that came up with the neckerchief, I fail to see how it's less "integral" if without it it simply wouldn't exist, and neither would his appearances in any following games, including in Treasure Tracker, which is a direct spinoff of SM3DW. Birdo has appeared in over fifty games, I am also pretty sure if she never appeared outside of SMB2 she wouldn't have been in the movie. DesaMatt (talk) 05:13, February 12, 2026 (UTC)

Captain Toad proceeds to retain his Super Mario 3D World design in his many, many reappearances, in both mainline and non-mainline games. It's clear that Captain Toad simply has a standardized design and that the appearance of this design beyond Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is not referencing 3D World. Birdo is mentioned in the references section only because she appears alongside 8 bits. Jumbo Ray (talk)

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a game entire based around the minigame sections from Super Mario 3D World, its entire 'existence' is in fact a big reference to that game, it owes its entire existence to 3D World. Toad wears one piece of it taken from the design that SM3DW came up with, not even the full outfit, which, I reiterate, did not exist before SM3DW and without it wouldn't have been used in future games.

As I said in one of the edits, it is "References to other media" not "First-time references to other media." Due to the context, which involves the movie being a new medium and a "reboot", mentioning it is worthwhile, as is mentioning Birdo who appeared in over 50 games & the 8-Bits who also have multiple appearances outside of SMB2. (SMA, cartoons, comics, manga) This also applies to Phanto, the Frog Suit, most if not all of the songs, the Item Box, the Smiley Flowers and Crazee Dayzee, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, Penguin Suit, King Boo's design, the Cannon Box, the Galaxy Air and Roy Smooth Sounds brands. @Jumbo Ray @BitChippy DesaMatt (talk) 01:24, March 7, 2026 (UTC)

Because of the contexts they generally appear in, I think most of these references can stay. Captain Toad often appears outside the context of Super Mario 3D World and references to his appearance in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker are far detached from 3D World even if it technically serves as the basis for Treasure Tracker, so I feel my point still stands. Jumbo Ray (talk)

Characters Who Haven't Appeared Physically

There's a good amount of characters who haven't appeared physically in the movie, but were implied to exist in one way or another. These characters include:

• Toadette, who appeared on a painting inside Peach's Castle

• Roy Koopa, who appeared in Neo Bowser City on an advertisement for Roy Smooth Sounds.

• Spewart, who also appeared on an advertisement in Neo Bowser City.

• Ditto for Boos and King Boo

• Bullet Bills and Grrrols appeared on Bowser's movie poster, but only as amusement park rides. Bullet Bills were on a flying elephants-style ride, and Grrrols were on a ferris wheel.

• Pokey appeared in a piece of upcoming merchandise, as with Dino Piranha and R.O.B.

So for THESE specific characters, what should we do with THEM until we know if they actually physically appear or not? 44ElmStreet (talk) 3:09 PM, Febuary 15th 2026 (PT)

Leave them there, and when the movie comes out, we can remove them/move them to a cameo subsection. Mariuigi Khed 23:18, February 15, 2026 (UTC)

Actually, only Toadette is listed, and the rest aren't. I am certain though that a decent amount of these characters should appear. 44ElmStreet (talk) 3:51 PM, Febuary 15th 2026 (PT)

Oh, if they are yet to be added... add them, as long as you source the video/post proof their appearance in the movie. But admitedly... I don't know if Grrrol and Pokey should count since, it's only the face of the Grrrol and the ferris wheel might be its own thing, and for Pokey, ROB, and Dino Piranha we only have merchandise, which may come from scenes that might end up scrapped in the final cut. The rest, tho, is fair game. Mariuigi Khed 23:57, February 15, 2026 (UTC)

If that's the case, let's just wait and add them IF they appear. If they don't, we can figure out what to do with those ones later. 44ElmStreet (talk) 5:24 PM, Febuary 15th 2026 (PT)

R.O.B. is officially confirmed! He appears as a profile picture for Super Mario Bros.

The Mystery Enemies

Does anybody know what enemy these guys are? 44ElmStreet (talk) 8:25 PM, Febuary 18th 2026 (PT)

First off, for anyone wondering: from the "Heroes "trailer in the left of the "8 bits' casino" overshoot. So far, the green enemies we saw in the area are Shy Guys, Koopas, and Spikes, but these two are neither of them. Checking around for green-yellow/gold enemies in the main series, I would hazard a guess and say the Elite Octoomba. I also considered Mechakoopas and Flopters, but the creatures in the movie have green in the front and gold/yellow in the back, so those can't be right. -- Mariuigi Khed 09:40, February 19, 2026 (UTC)

I think you may be right. Their antenna splits into two like in the photo. I looked back at the footage, the regular Octogoombas have a much different shape, and they're a little bigger than these creatures. 44ElmStreet (talk) 8:11 AM, February 19th 2026 (PT)

Those are actually Coin Coffers. I analyzed the footage and found out that those were two coin coffers instead. 142.227.222.62 (talk) 11:44 AM, February 20 2026 (PT)

But then, what are those orange/gold stuff they're carrying? Mariuigi Khed 15:57, February 20, 2026 (UTC)

It's probably their mouths, or them carrying coins in their mouths or on their heads. User:142.227.222.62 12:02, February 20, 2026 (PT)

No, there are other Coin Coffers in the footage I found. When you compare them to these creatures, they don't quite look alike. 44ElmStreet (talk) 12:56 PM, February 20th 2026 (PT)

Yeah, they don't even have the same green. And still, those aren't coins carries on the mouth... from the back. Also, if they are Coin Coffers, they are wallets! They carry coins IN their mouths, not WITH. Mariuigi Khed 21:29, February 20, 2026 (UTC)

That, and they're a little smaller than Coin Coffers. 44ElmStreet (talk) 1:51 PM, February 20th 2026 (PT)

Actually, they might be Flopters after all. They're just moving backwards for an unexplained reason. 44ElmStreet (talk) 9:18 PM, February 23rd 2026 (PT)

I don't think they look like Flopters. They appear to have bug-like eyes, and potentially a drill on the side. At first, I thought they had a face resembling Fawful, but it also doesn't seem to be a green snifit flipped upside down. So after all of this research, I think it is an original enemy since it looks nothing like an Elite Octoomba since it has a mouth on the front. You can look through the list of enemies page to find out what it really is. 142.227.222.62 (talk) 2:06 PM, February 25 2026 (PT)

In that case, let's just wait until we have a clear view of them, then we can find out. 44ElmStreet (talk) 2:26 PM, February 25 2026 (PT)

Mario Wonder and Mario Kart World references

Hey, could you please add the Castle Bowser reference on the Junior planet, and the MKW Standard Bike design references on Mario and Luigi's motorcycles, as well as a few more details on Luigi's bike like the Bob-omb sticker?

142.227.222.62 (talk) 3:45 PM, February 20th 2026 (PT)

Luigi as the second-leading protagonist

For me, since Luigi is getting more screen time in this film, he should be the second-leading protagonist instead of Peach. He should also be placed under Mario in the voice cast due to the screen time.

"King" Wart?

Why is he called this on the page? He's not referred to by name in the actual movie footage, and when Chris Meledandri introduces Luis Guzmán, the card with his icon just says "Wart". Meledandri does refer to him as "the great Wart", but that doesn't seem like a name so much as a descriptor. Even if he is referred to as King Wart somewhere else (which would be nice if we could cite that source instead of the Direct), it seems like the official card using just Wart, which is also his name in every other media, makes it more of a Princess Daisy situation than a proper name. 204.111.132.139 16:56, March 10, 2026 (UTC)

The Nintendo press release also just say "Wart". Googling "King Wart" Super Mario Galaxy Movie" does bring up a fair few movie news sites but nothing primary I could see so I have edited the page accordingly. --Glowsquid (talk) 21:41, March 10, 2026 (UTC)

Split the promotions section into its own "List of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie promotions" page

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: April 4, 2026, 16:34 (UTC)

With movies, especially all-ages ones, released... Basically at any point since the original Shrek, tie-in licensed merchandise and promotional deals are kind of a given with them, and Illumination has doubled-down on the already quite large amount of them for the original film with... Well, literally, look at the section. 19, count 'em, nineteen bespoke sub-sections for three distinct websites, a Nintendo Today! applet, and licensed brand tie-ins up the wazoo. For reference, the quotes section only has 16 sub-sections!

Outright culling this is an over-correction. We had a thread about this on the Mario Boards fairly recently, and it was decided that deleting this information would be pretty stupid of us when we're a specialized wiki with a userbase willing, and able, to document these things. However, organizing it like this definitely feels overkill, and moreover, not particularly conductive for someone either wanting to learn more about the movie (without the promotions), or wanting to learn more about the promotions (without considering the movie itself.) And then, many of those sections are basically just a highly truncated summary of one single page for a given branded object, like Icee or Old Spice, which only exist to cover these respective tie-ins... It's kind of a worst-of-both-worlds scenario.

So! There's three ways we can think of to go about this:

• Split the section, don't touch the brand pages: Fairly self-explanatory. We'll move the section to a "List of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie promotions" page, leave a paragraph explaining the websites and a few of the brands involved as a summary, and the section we currently have will be moved over as-is.
• Split the section, merge the brand pages to it as well: A bit more involved, we'll move the section to a "List of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie promotions" page, leave a paragraph explaining the websites and a few of the brands involved as a summary, but in this case, the sections we have for all the brands that have only done work for for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (bubly, Dippin' Dots, Feastables. Old Spice, and Bono + Negresco: Biscoitos de outra galáxia) will be merged to that resulting list page, much like our sections for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Westfield Sydney. If these brands do multiple promotions relevant to the Super Mario franchise, it will be safe to split them off to their own page again, akin to how we handle other brand pages such as Go-Gurt and Happy Meal; these merges are for as long as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the sole tie-in.
• Leave it alone/status quo: ...Nothing's always an option, of course, though we don't prefer it by any stretch of the imagination.

Split off the section, leave the individualized pages alone

1. Nelsonic (talk) While I agree with splitting the section itself, I'd prefer if we didn't merge the pages. bubly has its own website and a rather large-scale promotion, so I'm unsure where the website page would go, as it has its own unique merchandise, sort of acting as a modern getngear.com. I'd like to keep Feastables on a bit of a smaller reason, this being that this is the first time I'm aware of that Nintendo has released a large-scale collaboration with a YouTuber, making that notable in my opinion in that of itself. I'd like to keep the Bono / Negresco page, as Nestlé has a page now and the Bono page sort of retroactively spins out of that. In addition, the Bono / Negresco thing is going to get its own microsite the day after this proposal ends, so I'd like to refrain from merging this at least until we can see what kind of content is going to be there. For similar reasons, I'd like to keep Dippin' Dots and Icee due to them being sister brands, and also due to both brands also releasing their merchandise in theaters (which Regal [I think, if I remember right] also lists on their promotion page for the film) and due to Dippin' Dots essentially doing a 2-in-1 promo by releasing a secondary mini-promo on MAR10 Day. I haven't done as much research on Old Spice, but a unique commercial just released for the project (a pretty funny one, I might add) that could be incorporated into the page. Additionally, these aren't the first time one-off promos have gotten a page.
2. SuperGamer18 (talk) Per Nelsonic, also consider the following: what if one of these brands were to collaborate with Nintendo for another Super Mario promotion (in case they've only done it once)? If we merge the pages to the subpage and such a thing happens, then someone would have to go through the deal of making the article again, featuring not only the existing info but also the new one, which could admittedly be a bit annoying, dontcha think?
3. ILoveBFDI1215 (talk) I'll be fine if we split the section into it's own article, but the company pages should be left alone.
4. Rykitu (talk) Per all.
5. Keegster2 (talk) My own preference to promotional brands getting their own articles aside, if we were to merge the Super Mario Galaxy Movie promotions to a single subpage, that would mean that brands like Keebler and Freiberger (whose Super Mario promotions are quite similar) get individual pages simply because they aren't a tie-in for the movie. Seems like a rather weird way to determine what does or doesn't get a page. And, like SuperGamer18 points out, the effort to merge pages would be wasted in the event a brand does a non-Galaxy Movie-themed promotion. Keeping individual pages for these brands would avoid both of these problems.
6. MarioComix (talk) Per all.
7. Kingoffire U (talk) Per all, this seems like the most future-proof choice for other eventual promotions.
8. Hewer (talk) More consistent with other brand coverage. I honestly don't think the promotion section staying on the article would be that bad (the subsections themselves are all quite short even if the number makes them sound large), but I'll vote for this anyway since I favour it over the other support option.
9. Balugio (talk) Per all.
10. Mariuigi Khed (talk) I riconsidered my vote. Per all.
11. Camwoodstock (talk) While not our favorite option, we're fine with a split that we have quibbles with, especially over no split at all.
12. Jdtendo (talk) Per Keegster2.

Split off the section, merge the brand pages to it as well

1. Mario4Ever (talk) The approach of splitting brands in the future should they do other promotions seems the most sensible, and this way there wouldn’t be any potential disputes over whether a page for a given brand is warranted (as it wouldn’t rely on the notability/extent of any one promotion).
2. MarioMaker99 (talk) Per all.
3. LadySophie17 (talk) Per all.
4. Altendo (talk) Per all.
5. BitChippy (talk) Per all.
6. Tails777 (talk) Per proposal. I personally feel covering things like Old Spice simply because Mario's face is on the product is going a bit far. It's one thing if the product itself was modeled after a Mario series element (like the mac and cheese), but a deodorant stick isn't doing anything Mario related other than showing his face. I'd rather cover them all on one promotional page, especially if they promoted something once and only once.
7. rendumguy (talk) Per Proposal. I don't have a preference I just think it should be removed from the Galaxy movie page.

#Camwoodstock (talk) Personal preference. Having bespoke pages for each of these brands would make sense if each of these brands has a pre-existing history... And a lot of them don't. At least one of them didn't even exist when The Super Mario Bros. Movie released! #Mariuigi Khed (talk) Per all.

Comments (sponsored by Head & Shoulders Edibles!)

@Camwoodstock I believe Bono / Negresco and Icee should be exempt from the merge portion, as the Negresco page is a retroactive spinoff of the Nestlé page (and Nestlé has done other promotions for Super Mario stuff outside of the film), and Icee has done another promotion - albeit indirectly - outside of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (for the movie prior, funnily enough). Also, I have a question; if the merge portion were to pass, what would happen to bublygalacticmission.com? It's separate enough from bubly itself in that it features its own merch store, though it is tied to the drink enough that it would also be affected. Nelsonic (talk edits) 03:53, March 15, 2026 (UTC)

We, admittedly, couldn't speak on the bubly website, but... Wait, why isn't Negresco merged into the Nestle page in that case? ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☯ contribs ) 04:55, March 15, 2026 (UTC)

@Camwoodstock It currently isn’t merged because I wrote the Negresco page before the Nestle one, though I would like to wait until March 30 to see if the promotional website has enough content to justify the article remaining. As a side-note, I’d prefer if Dippin’ Dots were also to remain split, as AMC Theaters made a post about combining the ice cream with the Icees, thus acting as a crossover of sorts.

Regarding the Debuts Column

I get the point of removing the column in order to focus on elements in the movie. But I also see it as showcasing the breadth of games from throughout the Super Mario series represented by characters who appear in the movie, seeing as it's meant to be the centerpiece of the 40th Anniversary. Just an alternative point about the purpose of that column. I am perfectly fine both ways (with or without the debuts). MarioComix (talk) 05:36, March 19, 2026 (UTC)

I'm going to c/p the relevant edit summary to make sure everyone is on the same page.

I acknowledge the work that went into having a debut column for the content tables. However, I think they're missing the point of the tables, which is helping people understand what is in this work. (Notably, none of the tables for video games have debut columns) For a subject's scope in the broader Super Mario franchise, there is already an article on it. I'm cutting the debut column from the tables as a result. - Me! March 19, 2026

Aside from that, is is really a good complement to the longstanding "references to other media" sections? A section which should hit all the (interesting) points without bloating it with data irrelevant to the film like "Luigi first appeared in Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)" (They're not swinging for Game & Watch nostalgia) and puts all the data in the most obvious order for counting the references to each work of media too? Ultimately, a debut column does kind of feel like its a lesser version of that section that winds up taking up comparatively more bytes because of table code. Salmancer (talk) 06:14, March 19, 2026 (UTC)

See my reasoning here. Especially since they're a different medium, the movies are going to draw in newer audiences who've never played the games (as has been Nintendo's stated goal, expanding the IP to other mediums like theme parks), more so than another video game, and draw inspiration from a variety of games, so I think it would be useful to list where its characters/elements originate, and the descriptions briefly describe their role/behaviour in the games as they currently do on the article. Yes, they may not be relevant to the film, but they give brief context to what those things are and why they're in the movie and could be a good way to then lead into the descriptions of their roles in the movie. I will say I started with the species and objects before someone else added them to the characters; personally I think the characters (at least the main ones) are well known enough to not really warrant the column, but I still think they'd work for the species and objects. For instance, explaining what this random block with speakers is and where it comes from, or the background behind that UFO and realistic dinosaur. I suppose an alternative would be to just mention the original game in the description case-by-case, depending on how obscure the thing is and/or how important its mention would be. Mario JC 11:41, March 19, 2026 (UTC)

I can't get behind descriptions going into "role from the games" at all. I honestly thought that was happening because otherwise there would be empty or largely empty things for things like Cloud Mario and Drill Mario, who have yet to be seen doing anything in prerelease footage. Putting "first appeared in X work" in a description, sure. Trying to explain elements of the franchise in the article about this one film really is filler. Why should anyone care about X's game movement pattern when in a film they don't have to be enforced by game mechanics? If I'm reading about Cat Mario, the claws being new is interesting, but going into "it doesn't have the air stall from swiping in the air" is burning space on already cramped tables. (This isn't in this article, but I'm trying to make a point.) Other problem examples:

Green Koopas that have the ability to produce Spike Balls from their mouths in the games - Spike

Really easily confusable for what is true for the film.

Snail creatures native to Bubblaine. In the film, they are seen in the Gateway Galaxy.- Bubblainian

Could be confused for movie valid information, and there's no telling if say, Bubblaine is actually a part of Drip Drop Galaxy or not so the link to Seaside Kingdom is premptive in a very dangerous sense.

In the original game, the Blimp Fruit grants Yoshi the ability to propel himself upward by exhaling the air inside him or hover in the same place. - Blimp Yoshi

Genuinely longer than the sentence about the Blimp Fruit in the film. (Which should change when the full fight scene is shown in a theater, but that doesn't mean its a good look for the wiki right now.)

...the leader of the 8 bits, and originally the main antagonist of Super Mario Bros. 2. - Wart

It's every problem I mentioned prior combined! Longer than the points about the film itself, and worded in a way to not cleanly divide game information from film information. The comma accidentally making it so that the clause "of Super Mario Bros. 2" only applies to "the main antagonist". We'd look really silly if the film released and Wart's team is either unnamed or not called the 8 bits.

I don't think "teach people about the Super Mario franchise as a whole is part of the mission of any article except the Super Mario (franchise) article, and even then trying to fit this goal into the form factor of "character and object tables" restricted to the subject matter of one specific film probably makes teaching harder. If I wanted to do this kind of teaching, I'd make a brand new article from scratch, something like "MarioWiki:Intro to Super Mario", that from the ground up maximizes its ability to teach. Salmancer (talk) 13:49, March 19, 2026 (UTC)

I agree that it isn't fitting to have the descriptions of what characters/things do in the games as their sole descriptions in the movie. Bubblainian is a good example, maybe they won't even mention Bubblaine in the movie. But since we don't know anything about what they do in the movie, we would want to avoid generic descriptions like "Snail-like residents associated with watery worlds" because now that's just becoming fluff. In this case, it might be best to say "Snail-like residents who first appeared in Super Mario Odyssey", that way we can pretty harmlessly mention the source material for them but also avoid potentially movie-inaccurate descriptors. Of course, once the movie is released and we know their role, that can change. Similarly, it works for say the Speaker Block where, it's nice to know it first appeared in Super Mario World, but its function will probably not be lifted from the game (putting up a speech bubble to give tips to the player?). MarioComix (talk) 21:50, March 19, 2026 (UTC)

I don't think it would hurt to at least mention what game it's from if it's a very specific thing or a deep cut. There's also a chance a character/object like the Message Block is just there in the background and may not even get a description for a role. Mario JC 01:55, March 20, 2026 (UTC)

Like the previous, this movie has A LOT of references and the RTOM section is beginning to grow. Should it be split to a seperate article, as with List of references in The Super Mario Bros. Movie?

I’m assuming Baby Mario and Baby Luigi need to be removed, as they’re literally the same guys as Mario and Luigi as they were hit with the devo gun.

Remove the forms "characters" and Megaleg from the "other characters" section?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that must be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

I know that some of these forms are treated as separate characters in some instances, but in the context of the movie, they aren't separate characters, just forms. Megaleg, although a character in Super Mario Galaxy, is just a piloted machine in the movie, so it's not really a character. I also know there's some discussion about whether we should really consider piloted robots as characters, but we're talking about a movie, which isn't ambiguous like the games. I think Megaleg should be moved to the Objects section, and Dry Bowser, Wonder Bowser Jr., and the baby forms should either be moved to another section or merged with their respective characters, because as far as the movie is concerned, THEY ARE NOT CHARACTERS.

Make articles for the licensed songs in this movie

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal.

vetoed by the administrators
Cancelled and immediately put into effect, per pre-existing proposal for the first movie
So, as you may know already, a proposal which passed last year aimed to do very much the same thing here, but for The Super Mario Bros. Movie instead. Since the licensed music coverage wouldn't be nearly as big as in that movie (and because That's Amore was previously covered in the franchise too), I believe we should make articles for the licensed songs in this movie too. I'm not sure if this would require a proposal, but just in case...

Should Movie Versions of Mario Characters Have Their Own Articles?

Characters from the live-action Mario movie have their own pages. I'm wondering why the same doesn't apply to the Illumination versions of the characters, especially after Nintendo said that Donkey Kong from the movies is a different character from the games. It's true. He's a prince in the movie, in the games he's not.

Also Rosalina and Peach are completely different characters with different backgrounds than their game counterparts. They aren't even human in this movie.
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by WaluigiWarrior (talk).

Only movie characters who aren't possible to connect 1:1 to a game character have their own articles. Mario doesn't get a separate one, he's just covered under History of Mario like every other appearance. Daisy (film character) gets her own page because she's not cleanly Peach or Daisy. Considering the animated films here stick WAY closer to the games than the live-action film ever did, I don't see why we should split them. — eviemaybe (talk) 15:47, April 4, 2026 (UTC)
