Exciting News: NBCUniversal Unveils Title for Super Mario Bros Movie Sequel!

Alright, so get this—there’s this sequel to the Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023, right? Seems like there was a little slip-up over at NBCUniversal. They kinda spilled the beans on the new film’s name ahead of time. Oops! Anyway, rumor has it, they’re calling it “Super Mario World.” Classic. Totally not the same as that old SNES game, though. Or is it? Who knows!

So, I remember last year, around March-ish, Nintendo and Universal got all excited because the first movie did so well. I mean, it was a massive hit, right? Just before all this, I think the Minecraft flick was adding fuel to the fire, proving these video game adaptations are basically gold mines now.

Oh, and funny thing—Wario64 caught that press release from NBCUniversal. It accidentally listed Super Mario World in some upcoming movies announcement for Peacock. Who knew? They deleted it fast, though. Like someone nudged the wrong stack of papers or something. It was all mixed up with Shrek and Minions and Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (the same vibe, right? Not really, but you get what I mean).

Anyway, back on track—wait, what were we talking about again? Oh yeah! The name “Super Mario World” could totally fit, considering how the first movie ended. Spoiler alert here: remember that post-credits scene with the polka-dotted egg? Pretty sure it was hinting at Yoshi showing up. Goes right back to the SNES era when Yoshi first popped up in the series—and stuck around ever since. Seriously, who hasn’t hopped across a gap and thought, “Thanks, Yoshi!”

And the timing’s funny since there’s also a new Mario Kart called Mario Kart World coming with the Switch 2. Corporate synergy? Maybe, maybe not. Just sounds like a happy coincidence, if you ask me.

Now, are audiences gonna be up in arms about cinema ticket prices like they were with the Minecraft Movie antics? Honestly—could go either way. I’m just here waiting to find out if Super Mario World is the real deal name-wise. Meanwhile, if you haven’t watched the first Mario movie, go dive into my review. It’s chock-full of… well, thoughts.

That’s a wrap for now. Let me just grab my popcorn.
