Illumination and Nintendo are working hard to spread the word on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which means the marketing blitz is very much underway. Part of that campaign has involved releasing promotional posters and a sextet of new designs have just popped up online, which you can see in the gallery above. (h/t Nintendeal & Stealth40k)
Along with that, we have a rumored first look at a popcorn bucket for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and it’s one that plenty of fans will no doubt want to get their hands on. Usually these popcorn buckets are exclusive to certain theater chains, and we don’t have news on where you’ll be able to snag this exact design yet. You can get a look at the Yoshi popcorn bucket below.
Remember, theatrical release date for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has been changed from April 3, 2026, to April 1, 2026, in the United States and many other countries and regions.
