Strongly Hopeful For The Second Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2026

During my third time at MegaCon in Birmingham, I cosplayed as a female version of Mario from an alternate universe [51]. Nearly two weeks before that delightful Saturday, it was announced that a follow-up to The Super Mario Bros. Movie was announced on this year’s Mario Day by Shigeru Miyamoto and Chris Meledandri [46] [86]. I have thought about what could be there in a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie for quite some time [87] [88] [91] [92], especially after seeing a highly promising post-credits scene [79]. I see the full competence of Illumination Entertainment as I was impressed at the outcome of Migration, an animation film about a family of ducks going on a migration for the first time [26]. And yes, we are yet to find out if Gru’s biological son will soften up to him in Despicable Me 4 this July [22]. While LEGO lovers and Fortnite fanatics remain ambitious in LEGO Fortnite [15] [16] [17], the new kids are finally prepared for battle in South Park: Snow Day! [65] [80], and new premium and mini Helluva Boss plushies are available to pre-order [19], let us expand on what can be expected in a follow-up to one of the most successful films of 2023 besides Barbie over two weeks after its anno

Can you imagine if there was a direct sequel to Super Mario Bros.: Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!, also known as “Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission To Rescue Princess Peach!”, the animated film that was only released in Japan [72]? Next thing, there might as well be a sequel or reboot of the Animal Crossing anime film that can be released worldwide [83] [84]. [72]

We have discussed how a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie can excel twice [87] [88] [91] [92], but now that we know a follow-up is currently in development [45] [85], let us have a brief recap on what plenty of us have predicted. [69]

Admittedly, Chris Pratt’s skills in voice acting suit Garfield in the upcoming animated film based on the comics by Jim Davis better [63] [64], compared to his performance as Nintendo’s red-hatted hero [79], but what would be more important than how he will reprise the role in the sequel is how effective some expanded character development would be for him in the next Super Mario Bros. movie [87] [88] [91] [92]. Of course, the main highlight of that would be when he rides on a newly hatched Yoshi [79], just like how he would in New Super Mario Bros. Wii [34]. However, more logically as we have only seen the loveable green dinosaur-like being as a hatching egg, we may see him as a Baby Yoshi who will be taken care of by Mario or (Mama) Luigi [33] [82]. Perhaps a few more Baby Yoshis can be discovered to express their abilities, such as a blue one blowing out bubbles and a magenta one inflating like a balloon [33], thus being a lot more useful, in character, and artistically stimulating than Sonic the Hedgehog being inflated in programs like MMD and sandbox games like Garry’s Mod [60] [61] [62]. No offence to those who enjoy creating such images and videos. Mario’s next chapter after proving his worth in The Super Mario Bros. Movie is likely to not only develop a crush on Princess Peach but also begin a new friendship [79] [91] [92].

Aside from a new friendship with a newly hatched Yoshi for Mario as he continues to show his worthiness in Mushroom Kingdom [79], there might as well be a jab at the iconic hilarity of Hotel Mario in the forthcoming sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie to appeal to the old school YouTube Poopers out there [27], considering how many humourous moments there were in the first film [79]. [76]

How big will Yoshi’s appetite be in his cinematic debut [33] [34] [79]? [82]

I still stand by how the recently announced sequel ought to focus a little more on Luigi [91] [92]. I am up for Princess Daisy making an appearance as a new supporting character who can mentor him in the same way Peach mentored Mario in the first film [87] [88] [91] [92], but not in a certain way that would not be recommended for the younger fans (or older fans who seek better character writing) and go against Elsa’s warning about marrying someone who just met [8] [91] [92]. Daisy can be just as self-empowered as Peach, but wittier as a female comic relief [87] [88] [91] [92], quite like Terk from Tarzan, Charlotte La Bouff from The Princess and The Frog, and Anna from Frozen [29], yet there can be some depth on how she became the ruler of Sarasaland to keep the lore faithful to the games [87] [88]. Many of us may miss the year of Luigi [66], but there is still plenty of validation for the green-hatted brother to go around. Moreover, I might as well cosplay as a female version of Luigi from the same alternate universe that the female version of Mario I cosplayed as comes from, especially if I plan to attend MegaCon for the fourth time in the near future [51].

How about a little more focus on Player Two for Movie Number Two? Besides, I hold no ill will against Charlie Day voicing Luigi instead of the eventually retired Charles Martinet either [33] [34] [79]. Besides, the voice acting in The Super Mario Bros. Movie is at least more expressive than the bland and corny but ultimately quotable voice acting in Hotel Mario [76] [79]. [69]

Chances are that Luigi could have a little crush on a cinematic incarnation of another princess from another kingdom [74], as clichéd as that sounds, but there ought to just be a little sign of him being smitten by her as his main priority is to rise from being a captive in the first film [79]. [74]

A poster for the well-deserved sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie might as well feature Princess Peach holding a parasol like the one she glides in the air with in the Super Smash Bros. series and one of the Point exchange items an animal crosser can earn from the Tom Nook Point Tracking System in Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City [31] [59]. I would love to see her white and pink dress from Super Mario Sunshine or her elegant vacation outfit from Super Mario Odyssey return on the big screen [38] [39], but what would be more important in terms of further character depth would be providing some backstory on how she and Bowser first met and a very one-sided romance bloomed [87] [88]. Perhaps if there will be a third film set to be marketed and released in 2029, the year that will honour Barbie’s 70^th anniversary or a year later to mark the Super Mario series’ 45^th anniversary [91] [92], there can be a new focus on Peach with some elements from Princess Peach Showtime!, the latest installation of the Super Mario franchise that has shown how far the iconic princess of Mushroom Kingdom has come since her debut in 1985 as a rehash of her ability to shed that “damsel-in-distress” skin that was proven in Super Princess Peach [35] [40] [42] [43] [44] [47], along with the appearance of Rosalina and her Lumas if there were to be some aspects of the Super Mario Galaxy duology [36] [37]. 

Alternatively, Peach’s parasol in a new Super Mario Bros. movie taking place after the events of the high-grossing masterpiece can be in a new film-exclusive design [14]. Aside from that, the slogan on this poster of her reminds me of the inspirational motto from the modern Barbie series known as “You Can Be Anything” [3] [4] [69]. [69]

There still could be some room in the sequel to provide some further depth for Donkey Kong and his father Cranky Kong [87] [88] [91] [92], especially in association with a flashback scene that is a direct reference to the 1981 classic known as “Donkey Kong” and its sequel known as “Donkey Kong Jr.” [32] [68], along with a more effective supporting role for Diddy Kong in the present. There is also potential to establish a spin-off film based on the Donkey Kong Country games that can be considered miles better than the animated series that originally ran from 1997 to 2000 [54] [55] [67]. On second thought, a spin-off centred on the Kong tribe could be a television series instead as six episodes of Knuckles on Paramount+ could be considered an effective expansion of the live-action incarnation of Knuckles the Echidna, especially as its own thing next month [89]. Aside from the potential to squeeze in some more depth for the incarnation of Donkey Kong voiced by Seth Rogan alongside an event based on any of the sports-themed spin-off games, such as the Mario Tennis series in a follow-up to The Super Mario Bros. Movie [71] [79], would you believe that it has been nearly a year since the reveal of a bunch of LEGO sets based on Donkey Kong and the gang [86]?

The year that the sequel of the movie is set to be released will also mark the 45^th anniversary of your dad’s debut, big guy [32] [45]! [69]

Of course, there is some speculation that there will be new antagonists in the sequel to spice things up. Two notable examples are Wario who might as well become Wario-Man at some point as a shout-out to the WarioWare series and Waluigi who can be his partner-in-crime as they compete against Mario and Luigi in an event based on the Mario Party series [73] [91] [92]. If Bowser were to strike back as the main protagonist, leading to the possibility of another hit song by Jack Black [75], Bowser Jr. ought to set him free possibly disguised as Shadow Mario from Super Mario Sunshine [38]. Black sure nailed that villainous aggression as he performed his lines for the tyrant formerly known as “King Koopa” and I believe that we shall hear proof of him nailing it again if Bowser appears and speaks in the official teaser trailer [79]. If there were to be some elements of Luigi’s Mansion in terms of portraying Luigi even more effectively, King Boo can become an even bigger antagonist, receiving a crown with a large jewel to transform into his deadlier appearance in the Luigi’s Mansion games [91] [92]. How good will the portrayals of the bad guys be, especially when things get ugly in a sequel?
 

As previously mentioned, there could be a flashback of how Bowser gained the hots for Peach, especially if Bowser Jr. were to make an appearance as a new antagonist [87] [88] [91] [92]. [69]

Why not let the Koopalings star in the sequel as well [34]? [70]

There is some speculation that the next big project from Illumination Entertainment licenced by Nintendo will not be necessarily a direct sequel, but more like a spin-off centred on a specific spin-off series [5] [49], quite like how a follow-up to Barbie: The Movie ought to be centred on Ken finding his own identity without the need to bring on a toxic patriarchy [90] [93]. Moreover, as I suspect that the next film will be focused more on Luigi, the possibility of the next film being more like a spin-off film can result in him becoming more courageous in a new interpretation of Luigi’s Mansion, much to Charlie Day’s interest [91] [92]. However, it is vital to not let the post-credits scene of the first film go to waste as there ought to be plenty of moments of Mario or (Mama) Luigi bonding with Yoshi [33] [82]. Ultimately, whether the next film will be a direct sequel or not, it ought to expand the cinematic interpretation of the Super Mario universe effectively. There is also potential for the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the likely success of its follow-up to eventually result in a film franchise based on the Super Smash Bros. series in the future [77], but that concept could work better as an anime series to some of us [1] [23] [30].

To me, the wisest decision would be to head straight to a sequel after the success of the first film in terms of marketability and regarding what was greatly hinted at in a post-credits scene - Marvel Cinematic Universe style [79] [81]. [69]

The second Super Mario Bros. movie from Illumination Entertainment is set to be released in April 2026, possibly after the premiere of the second season of Hazbin Hotel on Prime Video [2] [45]. Chances are that we shall see the trailer at some point in 2025 in honour of the Super Mario franchise’s 40th anniversary possibly after the grand opening of the third Super Nintendo World in Orlando [35] [41]. Who knows how faithful a film based on The Sims produced by Margot Robbie and directed by Kate Herron can be for my fellow simmers and me sometime after the sequel’s recpetion [11] [21] [24] [56], even if it will feature Katy Perry as a direct reference to the Simlish version of “Hot N Cold” from The Sims 2: Apartment Life and arguably the least critically acclaimed stuff pack for The Sims 3 [10] [12] [13] [78]? In the meantime, I shall root for an eventually and deservingly redeemed Misty Brightdawn to be part of a mystery to solve in My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery this May [18] [46]. But as proactive as we can be when it comes to forthcoming continuations, it is vital to ensure that working environments remain safe and healthy, especially after some horrific incidents get exposed [7] [28] [48] [58]. While vowing to be better, we can still nurture our mental well-beings as The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be back in cinemas this June [85].

I am so proud of my homegirl Princess Peach for starring in her second own game [42] [43] [44] [47]. Speaking of lovable blonde-haired princesses, I thank the lovely and talented Erika Henningsen, the voice of Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel for the thoughtful message I received from her and my fiancé for my birthday [20] [52] [53]. Moreover, I am happy to state that I can still consider myself a loyal Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss fan as much as I still consider myself a fan of the Super Mario franchise, especially after getting a “HELL YEAH!!!” from a Lucifer Morningstar cosplayer at MegaCon in Birmingham [25] [52] [53] [89]. [42]

Whether the next Super Mario Bros. film will be a direct sequel or more like a spin-off film focused more on Luigi featuring many aspects of the Luigi’s Mansion games [91] [92], there is hope that it will be established as more than just another big dose of financial gain [79]. As important as it is to acknowledge passion alongside money-making, it is vital to encourage equal opportunities…and not be afraid to let those who dare to stoop lows face the consequences yet remain rational when it comes to standing with justice [6] [9] [57].
