March 10, or Mario day, is always a special occasion for fans of the mustachioed plumber, and its 2024 edition offered multiple exciting announcements from Shigeru Miyamoto himself, with a confirmation that a new Mario movie is on the cards and that new versions of two beloved entries in the franchise are about to get a shiny coat of paint.
Illumination Studios, the team behind last year’s Super Mario Bros. Movie, is set to return to the Mushroom Kingdom, with the release date set for Apr. 3, 2026 in the United States, and throughout the month of April in other territories. “We are thinking about broadening Mario’s world further” was as far as Miyamoto was willing to go at this point about the story.
