Overview
- Shigeru Miyamoto says the Super Mario Galaxy movie is in the final stages of production and due next year, following an earlier announcement targeting April 2026.
- He notes the film’s setting is the galaxy and expresses confidence it will be fun without sharing additional plot details.
- Miyamoto says he served as producer on the 2023 film and that many contributors want to return for the new project.
- He explains he is less involved in day-to-day game development but personally plays roughly the first 30 minutes of each new Mario title to verify its interface and “Mario-ness.”
- Reflecting on the series at 40, he recalls the leap from 2D to 3D and says he hopes to stay healthy through Mario’s 50th anniversary as new hardware challenges the current team.
