Home Release Date for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be available for purchase via digital download, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD starting Tuesday, May 19, 2026. This release follows the film’s seven-week theatrical run and includes over an hour of special features designed for fans and collectors.
Box Office Performance and Context
After six weeks in cinemas, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has grossed approximately $942 million worldwide, according to box office reports. While this figure is significant, it falls short of reaching the $1 billion milestone and trails behind the $1.36 billion earned by Nintendo’s previous Mario movie, released in 2023. Despite mixed critical reception, with some reviews describing the film as average, the movie achieved substantial commercial success, especially considering its production budget of approximately $110 million.

The home release package features multiple exclusive behind-the-scenes segments and bonus content that explore the creative process and artistry involved in making the movie. Highlights include:
- Next Level: Making the Super Mario Galaxy Movie – An in-depth look behind the scenes with Nintendo creators, Illumination Entertainment’s filmmakers, and the voice cast.
- Cast of Characters – Profiles of the actors behind iconic characters such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, Bowser, and others.

- Power-Ups – Insights into the selection and depiction of various power-ups within the film.
- Secrets of the Galaxy – A guide to hidden Easter eggs and subtle references throughout the movie.
However, the package does not include any deleted scenes, which some viewers may find notable.
