The thing is this movie was going to be about Yoshi, hence Mario World. Add in the Koopalings and you could merge Mario 3 and Mario World's plots into the same movie. Show the Bowser air-ships and such.

Skipping straight to Galaxy (and this includes skipping Mario 64 and Sunshine too, if that matters), feels like a mistake. Galaxy always felt like "third movie" material. Now they're sending Mario straight into space and not exploring much of the Mushroom kingdom, especially when Luigi barely had a role in the first one. Also feels too soon for Rosalina, they should of introduced Daisy and even Wario beforehand too.

Yeah. They could have had a nice, chill adventure movie with Super Mario World with Luigi and Yoshi and developing the characters and another big Bowser encounter. If the stakes are already the end of the universe and Bowser creating a new galaxy... I mean, even Odyssey has lower stakes than that. With Mario World they could even fold stuff from other games into it. Like maybe there's a bit where Mario has to use the water sprayer from Sunshine for some reason, or the tanooki suit.

Maybe movie #3 will be about whatever the Switch 2 Mario game will be about.

Huh? Metal Sonic didn't show up until Sonic CD which was the third game released.

That's right, I was thinking about Mecha Sonic who was in Sonic 2. He wasn't in in the first game.

But yeah, not to continue to rant too much about this but yeah between all those games were "nothing happens" in the mushroom kingdom was enough content for one more movie adventure. I mean meeting Yoshi, Bowser Jr. etc would've given us enough characters

This Galaxy movie seems to include stuff from Odyssey since we see Tostarenan in the Old Navy leak so yeah we'll get a bunch of stuff from those games. But it leaves them at an odd place for a third movie, which I'm guessing they really haven't began to think about. I'm sure Miyamoto is taking this as a one at a time approach.

There's no mention of Donkey Kong, which makes sense since this isn't part of his origin story but after having such a big part in the original movie, I do think he's getting his own spin-off. Which leaves a bunch of questions, can Miyamoto supervise a Mario movie, a Zelda Movie & A Donkey Kong one at the same time? Will he give his first creation to someone else at Nintendo. Is Mario 2 the last movie he works on (also the reason why he wanted to do Galaxy). I mean he's not a young man, but I do believe his supervision helped the Super Mario Movie a lot and while i'm sure Nintendo would just give someone else that role like they have in the games, it'll still be sad.

Well it's not like they have much to adapt for Mario 64 or Sunshine, they're very basic stories. They'd work if it's a TV episode. Same with basically most 2D games and even the 3D world games. The stories work because the gameplay is fun.

I don't think Daisy or Wario were ever going to appear at least not until much later (movie 4-6), Nintendo likes to shove them in the spin-off characters only section.

There was also rumblings of a Luigi's Mansion spinoff movie too, although I don't think it will happen. Mario lore should be maintained.

I have a feeling this movie is going to say that Peach is from Rosalina's galaxy and that Rosalina sent her to the Mushroom Kingdom based on what Baby Peach was wearing when she first walked through the pipe that led to the place in the Mushroom Kingdom where the Toads found her.

It's possible the third movie could be based on Super Mario Wonder, but I'm not sure.

When I first played Galaxy back when it came out (nearly 20 years ago, hell when this movie comes out it's only going to be one year away from its 20th anniversary). I always thought they were going to reveal Rosalina was Peach's mother. I mean she basically looks like Peach but with bangs

I was hoping to see Mario 2, 3, World, etc. but going strait to Galaxy is disappointing. Personally I would have preferred the introduction of Princess Daisy for the second movie.

The second movie will also feature Yoshi, Remember he was teased as an egg in the post credit scene from the first one, Also there was a lot of stuff from almost all the games in the first one, and the producer did say we can expect more surprises in the second one, Even though the sequel will feature the stories from the Galaxy games, We can expect other things to show up, My hope is that we get Bowser Jr and the Koopalings too, Would be cool to see them in movie form.

Do they ever explain where Luigi is during these games? I don't recall any mention of him in Sunshine, Galaxy, Odyssey, possibly Wonder too. Does he just chill at home while his brother is in all these adventures?

Probably dealing with ghosts in a mansion.

Paper Mario addresses Luigi being absent and wanting to go on his adventures. Technically Mario 64 got retconned with 64 DS so he WAS on that adventure. Luigi is literally in Super Mario Galaxy and you save him, not to mention you can play as him as well after you beat the game. I don't remember Luigi's role in Odyssey but I remember he gave balloons in some levels. And Luigi is a playable character in Wonder, dialogue even changes when you select him.

So it's only Sunshine where he is not in the game at all.

I was low-key hoping they'd do Super Mario Bros. 2 as the movie. Even though it isn't the "real" Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan.

I agree with everyone that says it's too soon for Mario Galaxy. There is a lot of unexplored territory that they could have implemented before they got to Mario exploring other planets. I also think that Mario 3/World characteristics would have made for a great movie, especially if it used some of those amazing songs or even remixed versions of them.

Maybe but Mario's never been story heavy and the movie is probably going to be 'loosely' based on the Galaxy games as opposed to being one-on-one. Plus both games had remixes of tracks from 3 and World, so there's a big chance we could get some in the movie.

I think it's cool this is getting a sequel, but I barely made it through the first one, and the "bring them to Earth" thing never works for me anyway.

I probably would have loved these back in 1988. Hopefully the sequel does well.
