Synthesized from 6 Yomimono stories · updated 4d ago

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the sequel to the 2023 The Super Mario Bros. Movie, opened in Japanese theaters on April 24, 2026. Illumination's Chris Meledandri and Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto produced it. The Japanese voice cast includes Mamoru Miyano as Mario, Tasuku Hatanaka as Luigi, and Arisa Shida as Peach. The story follows Mario and Luigi on a mission to save the universe.

The theatrical run produced substantial returns. A July box office update placed the film at No. 9 on the Japanese chart, re-entering the top 10. By the time home video plans were set in August, the film had recorded 7.9 billion yen in domestic revenue and more than 1 billion dollars worldwide. Merchandising followed in early August, when BEAMS released an eight-item apparel collection: open-collar shirts, T-shirts, sweatshirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, a cap, and a tote bag, priced from 7,700 to 13,200 yen including tax, sold at BEAMS label stores and the official online shop.

Universal Pictures and Happinet Media Marketing scheduled the home release in stages: download sales from August 19, rental distribution from September 16, and 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions on October 16. The 4K UHD plus Blu-ray set is priced at 7,590 yen and the Blu-ray plus DVD set at 5,390 yen, with Steelbook versions at 8,690 yen and 6,490 yen. All editions carry more than 60 minutes of bonus footage. A September survey found the film available to rent on U-NEXT, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, FOD, TELASA, and YouTube, and absent from DMM TV, Lemino, d Anime Store, Netflix, Disney+, and ABEMA. None of the surveyed services offer it under a flat-rate subscription.

BEAMS and Super Mario Galaxy Movie Launch 8-Item Apparel Line

Select shop BEAMS will release a collaboration collection with the animated film The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on August 1, 2026. The eight-item lineup spans open-collar shirts, T-shirts, sweatshirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, a cap, and a tote bag, with prices ranging from 7,700 yen to 13,200 yen including tax. The collection applies Mario-inspired motifs such as coins, Fire Flowers, Super Mushrooms, and Question Blocks in all-over prints, and features characters including Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser in graphic designs. A signature detail is the BEAMS logo, recolored in what the sources describe as crazy colors to evoke the Mario world, a design exclusive to this collection. The Bowser T-shirt and sweatshirt use a sun-fade treatment meant to mimic vintage wear, with printed cracks that suggest age. The items will be sold at BEAMS label stores, excluding some locations, and through the official BEAMS online shop. The film is the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, produced by Illumination's Chris Meledandri and Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, and is currently screening in theaters.
