Super Mario Galaxy Movie Super Bowl Trailer Reveals More New Yoshi Footage

After the original made a huge $1.3 billion at the box office, it was always a guarantee that The Super Mario Bros. Movie would get a sequel. Three years later, that follow-up is nearly here, and Universal Pictures, Illumination, and Nintendo are set to take the series to a place that no fan could have predicted. Despite the many avenues within the Mushroom Kingdom that could have certainly been sequel bait, the Mario Bros. follow-up is taking us to the stars, with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie delivering on that side of the franchise’s lore, with even more surprises no doubt on the way.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is set to arrive in theaters on April 1. Ahead of the new movie’s release in April, a short new shot was just released at the Super Bowl. The Big Game Spot reveals more new Yoshi footage as the iconic sidekick makes a stand against a grumpy T.Rex, thanks to Baby Mario’s lack of boundaries. Yoshi also wields a blue variant of the Super Scope light gun that was released during the SNES era:

Ahead of the Super Bowl, we also got a Level Up teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which offerd a new look at Bowser Jr. (voiced by Benny Safdie) in the film, not only showcasing Safdie’s voice acting but also revealing the character will seemingly take on his “Fury” form in the movie. In addition, a brief sequence with Peach and Toad reveals them traveling to a very futuristic planet, one that is packed to the brim with Super Mario villains with deepcuts like Chargin’ Chuck plus the Moneybags and even a slew of Shy Guy variants.

There’s also one sequence that shows the Ukiki monkey, which many will recognize from Super Mario 64 where he can steal the player’s hat. It would appear that he’s up to the same tricks in the film, as he’s seen running from Peach and Toad.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer also reveals that even though the film is largely pulling from those two games in the series, that’s not the only title it will be taking some inspiration from. One sequnece in the footage shows Tostarena Town from Super Mario Odyssey, complete with Mario and Luigi in fitting outfits but also showing Yoshi will get his own motorcycle in the film.

Furthermore, Easter eggs abound in the brief footage, with elements like the Nintendo 64 logo being hidden in the skyline to details hidden inside the bar with all of the enemies. The new footage for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is setting up not only a sequel that is going to greatly expand on the franchise’s potential, but will also be filled with little details that longtime fans will be eager to find when watching.
