Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach embark on an adventure across the galaxy.

Critics Consensus

Packed with colorful world-building that's as frenetic as it is weightless, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's visuals are often out of this world but the threadbare story ultimately loses its Milky Way.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is undoubtedly a visual assault—and whether that’s appealing or revolting is up to the individual—but there’s no denying the creativity and energy on display.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a visually dense, high-energy spectacle that ultimately mistakes constant stimulation for storytelling, building out a galaxy of ideas without giving any of them the gravity to truly land.

We love this sequel. I love the storyline of Princess peach and Rosalina being sisters. Also Bowser and Bowser’s Jr. son and dad relationship was well made. I know it’s a cartoon but it was amazing. I can’t wait for the third movie!!
