This past Mario Day, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that a new Mario Bros. animated film was on the way, set for release in 2026.
While the first film has been available on disc for a few years, there’s apparently a new “Walmart Exclusive” steelbook design (including 4K Ultra UHD+ Blu-ray and a digital code). Pre-orders are now available for $35. Here’s a look, along with a description of the film:
“The film tells the story of two Brooklyn plumbers who are brothers and best friends: Mario, the brave one with the “let’s go” attitude, and the perpetually anxious Luigi, who would rather not go anywhere. We open with the Super Mario Brothers reckoning with their struggling plumbing business, and end in a whirlwind adventure through the Mushroom Kingdom. During their journey, we meet a cast of familiar, lovable characters, who ultimately unite to defeat the power-hungry villain Bowser. The Super Mario Bros. Movie takes what millions of gamers around the world have loved for thirty-five years and elevates it to a new and breathtaking cinematic experience.“
