Nintendo and Illumination have just dropped a new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie that gives audiences a first proper look at Yoshi, one of the franchise’s most beloved characters. The reveal arrives as part of a second Nintendo Direct presentation focused on the upcoming movie, which is scheduled to hit theatres on April 1, 2026 in many regions.
Yoshi’s appearance in the trailer has been met with excitement partly because his role in the story has been something of a mystery up to this point.
With the movie now in post-production and its animation wrapped, this new look at Yoshi feels like a milestone moment in building anticipation. Alongside established characters like Princess Peach, Luigi and newly confirmed figures such as Rosalina and Bowser Jr., Yoshi’s reveal gives fans a clearer picture of the adventure ahead when the film lands in theaters this spring.
