New Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Might Be Hiding The Biggest Nintendo Cameo Yet

by

Viewers believe the newest trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie includes a major cameo from another Nintendo game. The sequel, from Universal and Illumination Entertainment, promises to expand on the world of Nintendo video games, just like the first film. While the initial movie centered on Mario and his friends, it cleverly included nods to other Nintendo franchises, such as Wrecking Crew and Ice Climbers.

After the latest trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie was released, a new idea started circulating among fans. The 30-second trailer highlights Mario and his friends’ journey across the galaxy to defeat Bowser Jr., and some viewers now believe that Fox McCloud, the main character from Nintendo’s Star Fox series, might also make an appearance in the film.

At the 0:02 mark of the new advertisement, a mysterious character briefly appears on the left side of the screen. They’re wearing a predominantly green outfit with white details and have a blaster pistol holstered on their right side.

Considering the familiar faces like Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, and Luigi are already present, it’s hard to say who this new character might be, but Fox seems like a likely possibility.

The mysterious character’s clothing is very similar to a well-known figure in the series. Also, he’s one of the few Nintendo characters shown with a weapon, like the one featured in the recent trailer for the new Mario Movie.

Nintendo has hinted at expanding its movie plans beyond Mario, potentially creating a universe where characters from different Nintendo games appear together. So far, we’ve only seen a small taste of this with Donkey Kong characters showing up in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but there haven’t been any major crossovers between Mario and other Nintendo franchises yet.

Nintendo, the famous Japanese video game company, is collaborating with Sony Pictures on a live-action Legend of Zelda film. It’s currently unknown if this movie will connect to a larger series of films based on Nintendo games.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the second animated film created by Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment, the studio behind the Minions. Slated for release on April 1st, the movie follows Mario, voiced by Chris Pratt, as he embarks on a cosmic adventure to stop the menacing Bowser Jr., played by Benny Safdie.

Is Star Fox Hiding in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?

The idea of characters from Star Fox appearing in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie isn’t that far-fetched. While Star Fox and Mario usually only team up in Super Smash Bros., there’s nothing preventing them from showing up in the movie sequel, particularly since it takes place in space.

The characters from Star Fox are famous for their exciting adventures traveling between planets in the popular video game series. If Nintendo is indeed creating a shared movie universe, as many believe, it would make sense to see Fox McCloud team up with Chris Pratt’s Mario in space.

During a recent financial presentation, Nintendo hinted at several new movies they’re developing. While rumors suggest possibilities like a Donkey Kong film and a Metroid movie, Nintendo hasn’t confirmed anything, and Star Fox could also be in the works.

During interviews about the Super Mario Bros. Movie, Chris Pratt hinted that there are “a few surprise characters” that haven’t been revealed in the trailer (according to GamesRadar).

Yes, there are a few surprising characters! I can’t reveal everything just yet, but you may have already seen Rosalina and Bowser Jr. in the trailer. There are also a couple of other exciting characters that haven’t been shown yet.

People thought he might be hinting at Wario and Waluigi appearing in the movie, but he could have been talking about other Nintendo characters, such as Fox.
