I looove him, patron saint of “I’m bad at this and I’m tired and scared and I just want to go home but darn it I can’t just sit back and do nothing” It’s somehow more impactful after the fourth time you’ve saved his dumb ass.

Your observations on the Luma Siblings being a clue to the next 3D Mario isn’t that far-fetched.

Miyamoto has always wanted to make a 2 player Mario platformer since the 90s. Luigi was originally going to be in Super Mario 64 but got cut at the last minute. A multiplayer game was realised in both 2009 and 2013 with New Super Mario Bros Wii and Super Mario 3D World, but both games were on rails and had time limits.

Miyamoto will not die happy until he sees a 3D game with Mario and Luigi running around an open world in HD. I believe that the next big game is Galaxy 3 (or that game under a different title). Nintendo’s status quo is that the brotherly dynamic between Mario and Luigi is the main focus going forward. Alone, they’re strong. Together, they’re unstoppable. The brothers are inseparable, and their relationship is the subject of the movie and Brothership.

The gimmick of Galaxy 3 is that it’s an open world 2 player platformer with Mario and Luigi. The two new Luma siblings (who are getting their own story) will be giving them their powers under their hats.

Yeeaaah you get it! That’s what I’m hoping for exactly!

If the next 3D Mario has a Mario & Luigi focus, I will lose my mind. All the more if it’s Galaxy 3 of all things.

More theories!

Bowser Jr

I've been thinking about how they would explain Bowser Jr’s sudden existence/appearance in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but maybe he just didn't exist during the first one.

Theory 1. Kamek will clone Bowser.

Bowser might not even know Jr exists because he's trapped in Peach's castle, but he ends up becoming his dad by the end of the movie.

That would also explain why Baby Bowser and Bowser Jr are identical.

Theory 2. Assuming it’s not that deep, and he did exist in the first movie, I wonder how they’d explain him not being at the wedding and what his relationship with his dad is, because he wasn't even mentioned in the first one.

Wario

There’s one thing I’m almost sure is going to happen if Wario appears in the movie:

Wario is also from Brooklyn, and he will try to take advantage of Mario and Luigi’s fame. He might change his name to Wario (I’m going to assume that's not his real name in this universe), becoming a ripoff to gain more attention basically. He won't be able to, and that's why he will follow the brothers to the Mushroom Kingdom and eventually team up with Bowser Jr ⭐

He’s money and power hungry, so it makes sense that he would want to work with a prince who also hates the brothers for ‘capturing’ his dad.

I also think the alliance will break at some point. Bowser Jr is a kid, so Wario would probably try to take advantage of that to manipulate and lie to him. Would it work? I don't know. Bowser Jr. is smart, but his dad and making him proud are his vulnerabilities in the games.

About Wario’s backstory:

He could’ve also worked for Spike with the brothers and become jealous. He could be a childhood friend/kid they knew. Another option is that he could be trying to grow his own business, but the brothers became so famous that they got all the calls. Or maybe Mario and Luigi don’t know him at all. A lot of theories. I'm inclined to the work-related ones though.

How would they get to space and why? I have no clue. We’ll have to wait for the teaser.

They did say Galaxy was the main inspiration, but they were taking things from all the Mario eras. It’s definitely not going to be the Mario Galaxy we know. The story will be really different

But he could be somewhere else with the Koopalings. Away from the danger of the invasion or in some sort of Koopa school.

Man… I miss them.

Ya-Hoo ! Thank you so much !

A little tribute, it's the big 40th for the red plumber guy and his friends. (I'm late I know, but still ^^'...)

Galaxy was one my very first Mario game, and it never left my gamer heart since.

I had to draw the recurring group for this ^^. (Goomba does count, I swear.)

Official translation from the overview trailer:

Also, I think the Japanese version implies that Mari and Lu are girls. But I don’t speak Japanese, so I hope someone can clarify that 🙏

I wonder what this chapter is about and what it could add to the story.

I can only think of three reasons as to why they decided to add this:

1. It’s unreleased material from the original game

2. They decided to expand the story to tie it into the Mario Galaxy movie

3. Unlikely, but maybe it has to do with the next 3D game

If the twin Lumas are girls in the Japanese version, makes me wonder if the English version is keeping the gender more vague so that there’s a stronger parallel with The Mario Bros, especially since we’re beginning to get the marketing train going on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the bond between Mario and Luigi is such a major focus in the movie canon.

That’s my theory anyways. But speaking on your third point, imagine if the next 3D Mario game we’ve all been waiting for is Super Mario Galaxy 3, and you get to play as both Mario and Luigi, who each have one of the twin Lumas under their hats….

A second Super Mario Galaxy 2 storybook page has hit the internet:

Roughly translated, it says “The two were identical in both voice and appearance and were always together.”

[suppermariobroth]

Mario & Luigi: Brothership contain Bouncy Blooms, platforms that cause Mario and Luigi to enter a helicopter spin similar to tornadoes in Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy.

If Mario and Luigi land from a spin in such a way that Luigi lands exactly on the edge of a Question Block, Mario will be unable to move too far without Luigi and will get teleported to his position. However, at that point, neither Mario nor Luigi will be able to move, with Mario becoming stuck inside Luigi's body as seen in the footage.

THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS OMG 🥹🥹😭😭🥰🥰

Mario jumping in Luigi’s arms will always melt my heart 🥹 And their cheeks squishing I can’t deal 🥺😭❤️

This was a blessing to look at. Thank you 🥹☺️

REALISTICALLY I know this was just done to save time for the animators and re use the bedroom but it’s so funny to me that their bedroom in the MK is exactly the same as in Brooklyn. They probably made 20 something trips just to haul their furniture over

[caroline-draws-stuff]

since they won’t give us the full versions of the family photos seen in the movie….i must do it myself

@c-lavanda (Tumblr broke and wouldn’t let me answer your ask, so I’m improvising)

Oooh ho ho ho ho!!! If this is a legit leak, then I think I can get behind it.

I don’t think it’s too crazy that Wario would get involved. If I was a money-hungry conman, and I stumbled across the troubled son of an ultra wealthy warlord who was once on the cusp of conquering the world, no way I wouldn’t take advantage of the situation. Sounds like a one-way ticket to wealth and power to me.

I have no idea how they’re gonna end up in space though… but as long as Mario and Luigi get to work together throughout the film, I’ll be extremely happy. Even better if Peach gets to be part of the team, so that maybe we can finally get some proper interactions between her and Luigi beyond a one-sentence exchange.
