The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer is full of fun Easter eggs

The first large reveals in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer had been our first have a look at Princess Rosalina and Bowser Jr., voiced by Brie Larson and Benny Safdie, respectively. However for eagle-eyed Tremendous Mario followers, there have been different necessary particulars within the type of Easter eggs that decision again to Nintendo video games that are not Super Mario Galaxy.

This is a fast rundown of among the enjoyable Easter eggs Nintendo and Illumination have labored into The Tremendous Mario Galaxy Film, little question with loads extra to return.

Bowser is singing his Tremendous Mario 64 theme

Early within the trailer, after Bowser places the ending touches on his The Scream-inspired portray of Dry Bones Mario — a callback to the Skeleton Swimsuit from Tremendous Mario Odyssey — he goes upstairs to satisfy with Mario and Luigi. Within the course of, he hums slightly tune: “Sippin’ the soup, cleanin’ the paint, doo-do-lee-do, doo-do-lee-do.” Bowser’s music is about to the tune of his theme from Tremendous Mario 64, although it is a lot cheerier.

Mario and Luigi experience to Tostarena from Odyssey

Talking of Odyssey, the trailer additionally exhibits Mario and Luigi driving bikes (with large Mad Max vitality) to go to the Sand Kingdom, a location in Tremendous Mario Odyssey. This can be a fairly blatant reference, not a lot an Easter egg. Additionally, the Sand Kingdom’s look in The Tremendous Mario Galaxy Film was previously outed on Old Spice packaging. Anticipate Mario and Luigi to satisfy up with some Tostarenans for plot causes.

Is that On line casino Delfino?

At one level within the trailer, we see Princess Peach engaged in a Burly Brawl in opposition to lots of of Ninji. Wherever she is, it appears like one of many casino-inspired places from the Tremendous Mario collection. I select to consider the largest inspiration comes from Tremendous Mario Sunshine‘s On line casino Delfino, which is filled with slot-machine imagery and has an enormous roulette wheel for a flooring. However the sparkly atmosphere Peach finds herself in can also be paying homage to Waluigi Pinball tracks from the Mario Kart collection, and the Fortunate Homes from Tremendous Mario 3D World.

Surprise Bowser Jr.

When Bowser Jr. makes his first look within the trailer, he goes from comparatively regular Koopa to full-on Surprise mode, showing as he did in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Junior is provided with the Magic Paintbrush (from Sunshine and Bowser’s Fury) and makes use of splotchy goop to turn out to be the deadlier Surprise Bowser Jr.

My god, is that Prowler’s music?

One of many extra suspicious and intriguing potential Easter eggs is the sound that accompanies Surprise Bowser Jr.’s look within the trailer. To my ears (and people of many others), there is a sound impact that is very paying homage to the Prowler’s crunchy musical cue from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Is it an aural coincidence, or is the animation crew at Illumination shouting out their fellow animators over at Sony Footage Animation? Surprise Bowser Jr. definitely has some Prowler vitality happening…

Rosalina destroys Megaleg

Possibly much less of an Easter egg and extra “drawing from supply materials,” the large tripod machine that Rosalina simply dispatches earlier than aura farming is the Megaleg from Tremendous Mario Galaxy. All the things about this scene appears cool, and typically that is sufficient.

See the rest?

The Tremendous Mario Galaxy Film is coming to film theaters on April 3, 2026.
