Nintendo drops official trailer for Super Mario Galaxy Movie
- Thread starter JournalBot

I played lifetimes of Super Mario Galaxy with my girls growing up. Can't wait to share this with them to rekindle those memories.

This is a case where I think they sequel will surpass the original. For original movies, it's the other way around; the first introduction to a new world is, to me, more captivating than the revisit. With the Mario movie, now that most of the groundwork is laid, and we get to focus on things other than the fish-out-of-water angle. I'm naturally biased, as most of us here are, in that we've known the Mario world years, if not decades. I believe that if I was 8, and not 38, I'd absolutely LOVE the first one.

Unless they're really esoteric (like possible musical references), probably as many as there were Star-Lord references in the first: 0.

Now that you mention it, there is a Star-Lord reference in SMGM, isn't there?
It's common knowledge that Rosalina in the original work gives Mario a luma, which would make him the lord of a star.

I was 10 when that movie came out. Having been raised on a diet of Short Circuit, Back to the Future, Goonies, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it definitely landed with me. And it still holds up today.
Wish I could say the same about other pillars of my childhood. Flight of the Navigator, for example, is a truly terrible movie that nobody should watch.
Anyway, this movie looks really good. Could they have actually figured out how to tell interesting stories based on games that infamously have no stories?

I'm hoping this is the case as well (along with my Det. Pikachu sequel, where the hell is it???). Sonic 1 was a pretty generic buddy cop film with Sonic thrown in, but Sonic 2 and especially Sonic 3 started to dive head first into making it an actual Sonic storyline movie. Mario should be doing the same, even if that leaves some folks behind or makes it worse as a "film".
Also stop 80s nostalgia baiting with the music and just use the thousands of game tracks that already exist, no need for licensed music.

You take that back, scuzzbucket! /s
I loved that movie as a kid and showed it to my kids a few years ago. My daughter ended up loving it and watching it daily for a few months.

I used to wonder why in 1990 Nintendo sought for a live-action Super Mario movie over Legend of Zelda, considering the difference in storytelling and worldbuilding between the two properties. After reviewing the releases and units sold between the franchises in that point in time, it's clear Super Mario dominates by several times. Wishing for the success of this new movie, as well as the upcoming LoZ movie.

I've been playing SMB since forever, but I still say Super Mario Galaxy's soundtrack stands as the best of the series. Case in point, Gusty Garden Galaxy

The guy who played Edward Teller in Oppenheimer voicing Bowser Jr intrigues me.

Nintendo arrested Bowser just a few years, ago, right? Really nice accommodations they gave him. I don't think he's gonna want to leave when his son comes to rescue him.

Here's a clue for why something gets covered here, and it's not "hurr hurr slow news day".
Do we think the community is interested in knowing about it? And—secondarily but almost as important—do we think the community is interested in discussing it?
The second part is key, because sometimes there will be some bit of news that isn't all that important, or is widely covered elsewhere, but we still want to provide a discussion platform for the community. People might already know about it, but they want to talk about it here, and see what other people think.
If you are not interested in discussing the new Mario trailer that's fine. But nobody tricked you into clicking on a headline that clearly started with "Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer".

Can I get the Japanese version so that I don't give money to the USA dummy that voices Mario?
That's my main issue with the previous one.

This looks like a lot of fun, although I'm surprised they jumped to Super Mario Galaxy for the sequel movie (and that we still don't have a Donkey Kong Country spin off film announced even though DK was a huge character in the first movie and we got tons of screen-time with the DK Island Apes).

I will not stand for this Flight of the Navigator slander. That's an absolute classic that every fan of movies from that era absolutely should watch.

For those with fond memories of Rosalina's surprisingly moving tale in Mario Galaxy, Nintendo and Dark Horse will shortly be releasing a hard copy of that story as Rosalina's Storybook.

I was obsessed with it when I was a kid. Tried to watch it as an adult, and didn't make it very far. The magic was gone, and all that was left was a bad movie.

I saw something yesterday about how Brie Larson admitted to being a huge fan of the Super Mario Galaxy game to the point where she got incredibly dedicated to beating it. So, I'd imagine that she's over the moon about getting to be in the movie!

I was pleasantly surprised by the first movie, and this one looks great! I'll definitely be taking the kids to see this one in theaters.

Nintendo doesn't get a god damn dime from me ever again

EDIT: And yes I'm aware that this is Sega who allegedly called the cops. There is speculation that Nintendo pushed for this.

Knowing that she was the star of Captain Marvel and that Captain Marvel is also a "protector of the cosmos" is whining about Brie Larson to you?
I just found it funny that it was a character with a similar job description. In the picture Rosalina even has a star similar to Captain Marvel. Yeah I know that it's something from the character unrelated. But I thought that it was a funny coincidence. That's not whining about her.
