The runtime for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie has been announced. It is nearly the same length as a world-record 120-star speedrun of Super Mario 64. The film is slightly longer than the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's runtime was revealed on March 4, 2026, according to GamesRadar+. This animated feature, part of the Mario franchise, clocks in at a duration that closely matches the time for a 120-star completion in the classic game Super Mario 64. Specifically, the movie's length is described as almost exactly the same as that world-record speedrun.
For context, the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie had its own runtime, and the new Galaxy installment is officially longer than that original. This revelation highlights an interesting parallel between the film's pacing and the efficiency of speedrunning in the Nintendo game series. No further details on plot or release date were provided in the announcement.
Fans of the Mario universe may appreciate this nod to gaming culture, as Super Mario 64 remains a benchmark for speedrunners since its 1996 release on Nintendo 64.
