Overview
- A Twitter user posted an image of a Super Mario Galaxy Movie toy that appears to show R.O.B. peeking from the package.
- The sighting comes via merchandise rather than an official announcement, continuing earlier Old Spice and Pillsbury packaging leaks for the sequel.
- R.O.B., originally the NES Robotic Operating Buddy, has since appeared in Super Mario RPG, Wario titles, and Mario Kart.
- The toy diorama resembles a control room, suggesting the character could function as a helper, though that interpretation stems only from the packaging image.
- The film is slated for theaters on April 3, 2026, with returning directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, writer Matthew Fogel, and a cast led by Chris Pratt alongside newcomers Brie Larson and Benny Safdie, while trailers have already shown Yoshi and Mouser.
