Nintendo has announced that a Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct will air on January 25, offering a new look at the upcoming film. The company confirmed the news through its official social channels, noting that the presentation will focus entirely on the movie and will not include any game-related announcements.

The broadcast is scheduled for 6 a.m. PT and will stream on Nintendo’s YouTube channel. Along with the announcement, Nintendo shared a promotional image featuring Mario and Luigi in their Galaxy-era fire suits, giving a small hint at the tone and direction of what’s coming.

This marks another step in Nintendo’s growing push into film and entertainment beyond games. After the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, expectations are naturally higher, and this Direct feels like the next proper look at how the Galaxy setting is being adapted for the big screen.

Nintendo has been clear about keeping this presentation focused. There won’t be any updates tied to upcoming games, consoles, or software. Instead, the spotlight stays firmly on the movie itself, which suggests fans can expect new footage, character details, or a better sense of how the Galaxy world is being brought to life.

For longtime fans, the Galaxy era carries a lot of weight. The visual style, music, and characters introduced during that period are some of the most recognizable in the franchise. Seeing that part of the series get dedicated attention in a film setting is likely to be a big draw, especially for those who grew up with the Wii-era titles.

This also continues Nintendo’s recent approach of separating its film and game announcements. Rather than bundling everything into a standard Nintendo Direct, movie-related updates are now getting their own space, which helps set expectations and keeps the focus clear.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct airs January 25 at 6 a.m. PT, with the full presentation available to watch online. If you’ve been curious about where Nintendo is taking its movie ambitions next, this is one to keep an eye on.
