GoKawiilThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie is out, and it's packed with references that Nintendo fans will recognize immediately, pulling from across the Mario series and Nintendo's other franchises. The movie features familiar favorites Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser and, for the first time, Yoshi, in a new adventure that takes them out of this galaxy.
Following the success of 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which famously teased Yoshi in a post-credits scene, some moviegoers may be wondering if Nintendo and Illumination included a similar stinger this time around. It does, but what do the post-credits scenes mean for the Mario movie franchise?
Does The Super Mario Galaxy Movie have a post-credits scene?
There are two credits scenes in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, one mid-credits and one post-credits. And one of the clips pins down the story, while the other sets up something new.
For the mid-credits scene, we see the major cameo of the movie, Fox McCloud from Star Fox, who shows up once again. He's been seen leaving a maximum-security prison with a large coin in his possession. He says how the princess paid for his services and wishes one of the Toads, who's dressed as a security guard, good luck while saying, "That is one complicated family." He then gets into his Arwing and flies off into space.
We then see inside the prison as Bowser, in his Dry Bowser skeletal form, lies in disarray, talking to Bowser Jr., who is digging a hole in the floor. And here comes Lumalee, the blue Luma who made a brief appearance in The Super Mario Bros. Movie when Luigi is in Bowser's dungeon.
Lumalee continues her nihilistic ramblings from the original movie, saying how death is inevitable. Her joyous disposition about death leaves the Bowsers in fear as they hold each other and scream in terror.
In the post-credits scene at the very end of the credits, the monkey thief Ukiki is at it again. As he tries to escape with more stolen goods, he gets punched by a gloved hand. That hand belongs to Princess Daisy, the damsel in distress from Super Mario Land for the Game Boy. She gives a little smile and a wink, and that's it for the second credits scene.
