The Super Mario Bros. Movie‘s sequel will adapt one of the most popular games in the series, Super Mario Galaxy, which sees Mario leave Mushroom Kingdom behind in order to protect not only his planet but many others. The trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie confirms that the game’s villain, Bowser Jr., is about to make his movie debut, but he won’t go unchecked, as another fan-favorite, Princess Rosalina, is set to fight the good fight.
What’s easy to overlook while watching Princess Peach kick butt and Mario refuse to give Bowser the time of day is that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer teases some of the other galaxies that the heroes will travel to, including Drip Drop Galaxy. However, there’s one location in the first look that doesn’t appear in the movie’s namesake. In fact, it’s from another game that many thought would be next in line for an adaptation.
In the trailer, Mario and Luigi ride dirtbikes across a desert terrain and pass by what appears to be an upside-down pyramid. Well, a new poster for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie confirms that the location is none other than Super Mario Odyssey‘s Tostarena, home of the Tostarenans, who also appear in the image. While it might seem odd for a movie that adapts a game with dozens of unique planets to borrow one from another title, Nintendo may have a very good reason for wanting to race to the finish line.
