"Nintendo recently dropped the final trailer for the film, which is filled with quick visual gags and nods to the source material. There aren't too many actual reveals in this footage, as it covers a lot of the same ground as previous trailers. However, it does show that fan favorite Lumalee is returning as a prison guard of some sort, reversing the storyline from the original film in which the cheerfully nihilistic creature was trapped in a cage."
"It was revealed that the long-tongued dinosaur Yoshi will be voiced by Donald Glover. So it's likely the dino will be saying a lot more than "Yoshi" over and over. Actor Luis Guzman will also be playing Wart, the primary antagonist from Super Mario Bros. 2. Issa Rae will be on hand to voice Honey Queen, the gigantic bee character from the Super Mario Galaxy games."
"It was even confirmed by lead actors Chris Pratt and Charlie Day that Luigi would be on hand for the entire adventure this time, and not confined to a cage-based subplot. I didn't realize Luigi's role in the first film was enough of a controversy to warrant this kind of mention, but here we are."
"Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri also appeared in the video, assuring viewers that there are still "some big surprises" waiting in the actual film. To that end, there's been a rumor floating around that Fox McCloud from the Starfox franchise would be showing up. Is this the start of a Nintendo cinematic universe that will culminate in 10 years with a Super Smash Bros. movie?"
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie arrives in theaters on April 1 as Nintendo's highly anticipated sequel. The final trailer showcases visual gags and source material references, with fan-favorite character Lumalee returning in a reversed role as a prison guard. Nintendo released a comprehensive presentation featuring the trailer alongside interviews with actors and franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Notable casting announcements include Donald Glover voicing Yoshi, Luis Guzman as antagonist Wart from Super Mario Bros. 2, and Issa Rae as Honey Queen. Lead actors Chris Pratt and Charlie Day confirmed Luigi plays a significant role throughout the adventure, addressing criticism from the first film. CEO Chris Meledandri hinted at major surprises in the final film, with speculation about potential crossover characters like Fox McCloud.
