The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is now available to watch at home. And it came with the extras.
The official Super Mario Movie Instagram account posted the announcement today, May 20. The caption didn’t waste words: “Watch at Home today. Join Mario, Luigi and all your favorite heroes of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, now with exclusive behind-the-scenes bonus features.” The home release is live. More importantly, it includes behind-the-scenes content that wasn’t part of the theatrical package. This is the first time anyone outside the production can go inside the making of the film.
Mario, Luigi, and the full returning cast of heroes get name-checked in the rollout. The whole crew is back, this time on your screen at home.
The Galaxy movie exists inside a story that seemed improbable not long ago. Video game adaptations had a rough track record, and Mario’s prior live-action history wasn’t exactly inspiring. The original Super Mario Bros. Movie opened in 2023. It had everything to prove. Then it proved it. The film became one of the highest-grossing releases of that year and reset expectations for the genre entirely.
The Galaxy sequel carried all of that goodwill and went further. Mario and Luigi don’t stay on the ground in this chapter. They go into space, through world after extraordinary world. The source material helps explain the ambition. Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo’s Wii-era title, is widely considered one of the best games the company has ever made. It’s beloved in a specific, deep way. Adapting it meant carrying that affection into the theater.
The behind-the-scenes features bundled with the home release are the first real window into how that adaptation came together. Anyone who caught the Galaxy movie in theaters and walked out wanting to know more now has somewhere to go. How sequences got built. How the creative team approached source material with this much history behind it. The extras cover that ground.
That’s the promise of behind-the-scenes content at its best. For a film with this much riding on it, those extras matter.
The announcement and the home release landed on the same day. No gap, no waiting period. The movie went from theater to home screen, and now it comes with more than it offered before.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is available for home viewing as of May 20, 2026. Purchase details are at the official Super Mario Movie Instagram account, link in bio.
