The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a sequel to which 2023 film?

The story behind the answer

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023). The two films share the Illumination-Nintendo continuity, with Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, and Keegan-Michael Key returning as major voice performers.

The 2023 film introduced Mario and Luigi's journey from Brooklyn into the Mushroom Kingdom, where they joined Princess Peach and Toad to stop Bowser. Its post-credits scene teased Yoshi, while the later sequel expands the setting into outer space and incorporates characters and locations associated with Super Mario Galaxy.

The title can cause a small source of confusion: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not a direct adaptation of the 2007 game and is not related to Pokémon Detective Pikachu, Wreck-It Ralph, or Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It is the second animated Mario film from Illumination, following the 2023 movie, although its story draws on several games across Nintendo's history.
