Synopsis : (The following synopsis contains mild plot points.)
When Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) is swept away into deep space by a celestial-powered Bowser, Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) must team up with a mysterious guardian named Rosalina. Armed with the power of Launch Stars and accompanied by a cheerful Luma, the brothers navigate strange spherical planets and gravity-shifting galaxies to prevent Bowser from creating his own galaxy at the center of the universe. It's a race against time to save the Comet Observatory and find their way back home to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Reviews :
Illumination has truly outdone themselves with the animation in this sequel. The "Galaxy" aesthetic allows for a psychedelic explosion of colors and inventive planet designs that feel like the games come to life. The orchestral score, heavily inspired by Mahito Yokota's original work, is soaring and epic, making every jump and flight feel monumental.

Chris Pratt returns with more confidence as Mario, while Charlie Day's Luigi gets a lot more room to shine in this installment. Anya Taylor-Joy continues to portray a proactive and heroic Peach, but the real scene-stealer is the introduction of Rosalina and the adorable, yet slightly nihilistic, Lumas. The film perfectly balances nostalgic callbacks for long-time fans with a fresh, fast-paced story that children will adore.

While the plot remains relatively simple—as is the Mario tradition—the creativity in the action set-pieces is top-tier. From ice-skating on frozen planets to navigating lava-filled stars, the movie never loses its sense of wonder. It's a rare sequel that feels bigger, bolder and even more magical than its predecessor.

Verdict :
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) is a triumph of fun and imagination. It's a cosmic joyride that solidifies Mario's place as a cinematic icon. A must-watch for families and gamers alike.

Final Score : 9.5/10★
