The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s Major Character Reveal Is A Huge Relief

by

Fans were excited to finally see Yoshi revealed in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. While it wasn’t a huge surprise – most people expected Mario’s green dinosaur friend to appear in the sequel to 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie – the official reveal was still a big moment for fans of the character.

The scene after the credits of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the promotional materials for the sequel strongly hinted at his return. While some questions remained about how he’d be used in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the trailer’s introduction of the character has now eased those concerns.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Promises Yoshi Will Be Accurate To The Games

Because the Super Mario games don’t feature a lot of talking, the filmmakers behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie needed to give the characters distinct personalities to bring the world to life. They did this with important characters like Mario, Bowser, and Donkey Kong, often aiming to make the story funnier.

Because of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, many believe Yoshi will be portrayed as he is in the games – actually speaking his own name. This is different from how they handled Donkey Kong, who is normally silent in those games.

Yoshi doesn’t require extensive dialogue with Mario and Luigi to be a well-developed character in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. His charming design, friendly personality, unique ability to use his tongue, and established relationship with Mario are enough to make him a lovable character for audiences.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Is Already Setting Up One Of Yoshi’s Best Stories

The latest trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie suggests the film will treat Yoshi with the respect he deserves. The trailer ends with Yoshi alongside Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Toad, all facing off against a Tyrannosaurus Rex – a clear nod to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, the game where Yoshi famously protected baby Mario.

This detail adds emotional weight to Mario and Yoshi’s bond, revealing Yoshi protected Mario from a very young age. While The Super Mario Bros. Movie probably won’t explore this backstory, showing Mario and Luigi as babies could create a great opportunity for Yoshi to prove he’s a hero capable of acting independently, rather than just being Mario’s helper.
