It will come as a surprise to absolutely no one that Nintendo\u2019s crown jewels, those lovable plumbers Mario and Luigi, are back.<\/p>\n

The Super Mario Bros Movie<\/em><\/span> was a staggering hit in 2023, grossing US$1.36 billion and showing just how beloved these video game icons really are. Now comes the inevitable sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/em>.<\/div>\n
Loosely inspired by the 2007 video game Super Mario Galaxy<\/em> and its 2010 follow-up, the film takes us back to the hallucinogenic Mushroom Kingdom and its ruler, Princess Peach (voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy<\/span>).<\/div>\n

This time, Mario (Chris Pratt) and brother Luigi (Charlie Day) encounter Yoshi (Donald Glover), a cute dinosaur-like creature \u2013 and a fan favourite from the games \u2013 as they go on a mission to rescue the cosmic princess Rosalina (Brie Larson).<\/p>\n

Abducted by a mysterious UFO, she is held captive by Bowser Jnr (Benny Safdie), who is out for revenge after his father, the turtle-like Bowser (Jack Black), was miniaturised by Mario at the end of the last film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
