Super Mario Galaxy Movie Celebration Coming to Super Nintendo World in March 2026

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Super Nintendo World is about to get even more magical — and if you’re a Mario fan, this one is worth paying attention to. Universal Parks has announced a limited-time celebration tied to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, bringing special experiences, food, merchandise, and meet-and-greets to both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando. The fun kicks off on MAR10 Day (March 10) and runs daily through April 13, 2026.

Whether you’re planning a visit during the event window or just want to know what to look forward to, here’s everything confirmed so far about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie celebration at Super Nintendo World.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Event: Quick Summary

• Celebration runs March 10 – April 13, 2026 at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando
• Yoshi meet-and-greet returns to Universal Studios Hollywood Super Nintendo World and makes its Epic Universe debut
• New food: Rosalina Cupcake and Galaxy Popcorn
• Limited-time merchandise including interactive Luma shoulder pals in blue and yellow
• CityWalk photo ops at both Orlando and Hollywood locations
• The Super Mario Galaxy Movie screening at Universal Cinema and Universal Cinemark starting April 1

Yoshi Meet-and-Greet Is Back — and Coming to Epic Universe for the First Time

One of the biggest highlights of this event is Yoshi. The beloved green dinosaur will appear for a limited-time meet-and-greet inside Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood — which fans have loved in past appearances. But the real headline is that Yoshi is coming to Universal Epic Universe for the first time.

If you’ve been looking for a reason to visit Epic Universe’s Super Nintendo World, this is it. A Yoshi meet-and-greet inside what is already one of the most immersive lands in any theme park in the world? That’s a special moment, and it’s only available through April 13.

New Galaxy-Themed Food to Try

The celebration also brings some new limited-time food items to Super Nintendo World. Here’s what to look for:

Rosalina Cupcake

This one looks as good as it sounds. The Rosalina Cupcake is a blue velvet cupcake filled with blueberry cheesecake, topped with lemon buttercream, a chocolate crown, and a star. It’s clearly designed to mirror Rosalina’s aesthetic — and it sounds genuinely delicious. If you’re eating your way through Super Nintendo World (and you should be), this is a must-try.

Galaxy Popcorn

The Galaxy Popcorn features multicolored berry-flavored popcorn with edible glitter. It’s a later-in-the-run addition, so check for availability when it shows up in the event window. Visually, this one is going to be everywhere on social media — it’s designed to look like a galaxy in a bucket.

Interactive Luma Shoulder Pals: The Must-Have Merchandise Item

The standout merchandise item this event is the interactive Luma shoulder pal. Available in both blue and yellow, these plush companions feature light and sound — and they can actually communicate with each other when they’re close together. If you and a friend both grab one, you’ll get an interactive experience between the two Lumas.

Universal has been doing more interactive merchandise items across the parks, and this one sounds like a winner. It’s also the kind of thing that sells out fast. If this is on your shopping list, don’t wait until your last day in the park.

CityWalk Photo Ops and the Movie Itself

The celebration extends beyond the parks. Both Universal CityWalk Hollywood and Universal CityWalk Orlando will feature photo ops themed around The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. These are great for snapping before or after your park day, and they’re included with your general CityWalk visit — no park ticket required.

And if you want to see the movie itself: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be screening at Universal Cinema at CityWalk Hollywood and Universal Cinemark at CityWalk Orlando starting April 1. Pair a movie screening with a park visit on the same day and you’ve got a full Mario-themed experience from morning to night.

When to Visit for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Event

The event window is March 10 through April 13, 2026. Here’s how to plan your visit:

• Go early in the run if you want the best shot at all merchandise (Luma shoulder pals especially)
• Weekdays are less crowded — Super Nintendo World has limited capacity, so arriving early is always the move
• Check for Galaxy Popcorn availability — it arrives later in the event, so confirm before you go
• Epic Universe Yoshi meet-and-greet will likely have significant wait times — add that to your day plan and budget extra time
• Movie screenings begin April 1 — if you want the full experience, time your visit to the first two weeks of April
