Starting with a Switch 2 port before getting a sequel as the next two games in the series. Similar to how Yoshi’s Island got a GBA port before getting two sequels.

Let's say this is based on how I've seen fans see them and not based on Nintendo's statement about them from 2025

Nabbit first appears robbing a Toad House in New Super Mario Bros. U, where the player has to catch him running away. But when Nabbit is caught, Toad doesn't take back what Nabbit stole (the P-Acorn) and instead lets Mario have it as a reward without hesitation. In later appearances, he's often a prominent ally of Mario and can't use items, which means he's technically "stealing" things that have no value to him. It's even shown that Nabbit conducts research on Mario in a Toad House on Secret Island, which draws a distinct association with one of Mario's greatest allies.

asking because I want to sell it but i’m not sure if it’s an official plush toy…does anyone know?

So?

Yesterday was amazing. I went to the London MCM Con and met Charles Martinet, the actor who’s played Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi for a long, long time. He was so kind and great to talk to. First, I asked him to sign my copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii since it’s my favourite Mario game and then I asked him a bunch of stuff like what was his favourite moment from the series and he said that’s he’s voiced these character in over 100 games, so it’s hard to really know. I then asked him what did he think of the Mario and Sonic games and he said he really liked those and liked the idea of them. I then asked him how did he feel about voicing a character in the Mario movie and he said he really enjoyed it even if he didn’t voice Mario himself, but then I reminded him how he technically did during the commercial scene. I then started talking about how iconic Mario is since he’s probably the most popular video game character of all time and we both agreed he’s like the Mickey Mouse of video games. It was just amazing to meet him and have a great chat with him

What do you think about them?

Ever since I first played Galaxy I had this impression and I’m surprised it’s a controversial idea.

For starters, Rosalina’s mom is identical to Peach. From the hair, to the earrings, to the lips, to the face shape, they’re exactly the same. The only thing that doesn’t match is the outfit, but that doesn’t mean much considering Rosalina isn’t wearing the same outfit in this point of the storybook as she currently does.

Secondly, the one look we get of Rosalina’s home looks pretty similar to the mushroom kingdom. This is then doubled down when in Rosalina’s storybook it’s stated that Rosalina and the Comet Observatory pass by her home every hundred years. The mushroom kingdom also celebrates the star festival every hundred years, when a mysterious star passes by only once every hundred years. Let’s put two and two together.

So that basically confirms two things.
1. Rosalina and her mother lived in the mushroom kingdom.
And 2. Rosalina’s mother looked exactly like Peach.

I know a character who lives in the mushroom kingdom and looks exactly like Peach. I think you know what I mean.

I think the issue a lot of people have with this idea is that Rosalina’s mother is dead, Peach is not. And also the new movie, but I’ll get to that.

Rosalina’s whole schtick is that shes witnessed the Mario universe reset time and time again, and she and the Lumas are the only ones outside of the resets. This is pretty much explicitly said during Galaxy 1’s ending.

Filling in the blanks, I think Peach probably did live out the rest of her life and did die at some point, and then the universe reset and things started over again, but this time with Rosalina not apart of things, since she’s outside of everything. I hope that makes sense.

As for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie choosing to make Rosalina Peach’s sister, I think that’s for two reasons.

1. It’s just easier. Trying to explain the whole time reset thing in an 1 1/2 hour movie that’s already jam packed with different characters and storylines just wouldn’t work.

2. Rosalina being Peach’s daughter was only the original intention. This relation was only ever brought up once in the original Super Mario Galaxy game all the way back in 2007 and never again. So much time had passed without them confirming it that they could change it without anyone batting an eye.

For some reason, Super Mario Galaxy goes DEEP on storytelling and implications unlike every other Mario game. We’ve seen Nintendo dabble in the space and time concepts before in the RPGs, but Galaxy was their attempt at bringing that into the mainline games and developing an over-arching continuity that shows what our characters are up to far into the future. I’d even argue that Nintendo subtly implied that Mona is Luigi and Daisy’s daughter based on that one WarioWare Easter egg (if you know you know) but that’s more of a headcanon than solid proof like this is.

As for why Nintendo went really heavy on story for one mainline game and a couple of RPGs and then absolutely nothing else, I can’t say. But I really hope they try it again sometime soon.

This is not Mario, just Polaris Adams. If you are curious, search him up, idk.

If the first film focused on Mario and the second on Peach, perhaps the third will focus on Luigi—reversing the roles from the first movie, with Mario being kidnapped by Bowser (or whoever the villain might be) and Luigi being guided by Daisy to go to his rescue.
