Nintendo graced September with a massive Nintendo Direct featuring all sorts of announcements and surprises. The show opened with Shigeru Miyamoto talking about the Super Mario Bros 40th Anniversary, the theme park, museum, and then dropping a teaser for the Super Mario Galaxy movie, which is releasing in April 2026.
Here are all the trailers and news from the Super Mario Bros 40th Anniversary segment.

Super Mario Bros Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park
