[TigerClaw]

Nintendo and Illumination announces that they started work on the sequel to the Super Mario Bros Movie, And it will release on April 3rd 2026.

Hopefully the sequel is more fleshed out, more Luigi, Yoshi, and hopefully the Koopalings.

and Bowser Jr.

I still need to see the first one...

Looking forward to getting around to it.

Wonder if Daisy will be in it as well.

Yoshi will be in it no doubt, Because of that post credit scene, But I wanna see Bowser Jr, and the Koopalings in particular because each one has a different personality to them, So that would be fun to see.

[The Deadman]

I'm excited for it. The first movie was pretty good.

The sequel will be titled Super Mario World.

I think with Yoshi being teased in the post-credits scene and the title being based on the classic SNES game, the Kooplings will probably be in this movie.

The Koopalings not appearing in a Mario World movie would be odd, so I hope we see them.

Is that what we call them? I thought in SMB3 it was "the Koopa Kids."

Nintendo Power's player's guides for that game, as well as for Super Mario World, have also referred to them as Koopalings.

I think their Japanese group name is just "Koopa's minions" or something like that.

The games always called them the Koopalings, or at least the American SMB3 and SMW manuals did. The cartoon called them Koopa Kids and gave them completely different names. Bully, Cheatsy, Cootiepie, etc.

We got an updated version of the "Mario Bros Rap" in the first movie, so hopefully we will get an updated version of this song in the sequel.

Yup I remember! Roy - Bully, Morton - Big Mouth, Ludwig - Kooky, Larry - Cheatsy, Wendy - Kootie Pie, Lemmy and Iggy - Hip and Hop. If Iggy had his current plant-like hairstyle back then, he and Lemmy would've been called something else and not be twins.

I always loved that intro.

And since they are now going with game titles, I have the perfect name in mind for the third Super Mario Bros. movie...

"Super Mario Odyssey" would lend itself well as a fairly satisfying movie, I think.

Galaxy or Sunshine wouldn't be bad either, but probably too "high concept" for a movie.

No they didn't. The SMB3 manual used "Bowser's kids" and the SMW manual "Koopa Kids". The cartoons used both Koopa Kids and Koopalings.

The manual for Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii and an insert with Super Mario World for the GBA referred to them as Koopalings. Not the manuals you mentioned. I don't have any of the Mario games that came after. So I can't vouch for their manuals.

Iggy Koopa was Hip Koopa and Lemmy Koopa was Hop Koopa.

The Japanese didn't name them, but a Nintendo official in the US gave them names. All except for Larry Koopa and Morton Koopa Jr. were named after musicians. Morton's namesake is obvious, but the guy came up with the name Larry for Larry Koopa because he thought he looked like a Larry.

No Lemmy was Hip, Iggy was Hop. I learned this from the World cartoon episode "A Little Learning" where the scene when Peach said Hip's name when she told him to explain his project to the judges (Mario and Luigi) while Iggy (Hop) was underground controlling the volcano.
