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

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

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
