The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has proven itself a massive cinematic triumph, mirroring the monumental success of its 2023 predecessor, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The latest collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination enjoyed an extended tenure in theaters, generating over $1 billion at the global box office—a milestone that all but guarantees a third installment in the franchise.

While repeat theatrical viewings were pivotal to the film’s financial dominance this year, the transition to home media invites a deeper dive. The small-screen format offers the perfect opportunity to pause, rewind, and scrutinize every frame for hidden details, much like the surprise discovery of Fox McCloud’s cameo in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

With Nintendo and Illumination confirming the home entertainment rollout, here is everything you need to know about when you can bring The Super Mario Galaxy Movie into your living room.

Physical media collectors can purchase The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray, which hit retail shelves on June 16. Full purchasing details are available here.

When will it hit Peacock?

The film is scheduled to make its streaming debut on Peacock on July 30. Additional information can be found here.

Will it be coming to Netflix?

Given the pre-existing distribution agreement between Universal and Netflix, it is highly probable that the film will migrate to Netflix. Typically, Universal titles (including those from Illumination) enjoy a four-month exclusive window on Peacock before heading to Netflix for a 10-month stint. Following that, they cycle back to Peacock. If the July Peacock launch holds, expect to see The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Netflix as early as December.
