Universal appears to have confirmed that the next Mario film will be titled Super Mario World. The title was included in a press release about upcoming movies, but apparently by mistake, since it was removed shortly after publication.
The title first appeared in a press release about NBCUniversal’s upcoming content slate, listed as part of a selection of films scheduled to stream exclusively on NBC’s Peacock following their theatrical release. Within hours the post had been updated and “Super Mario World” removed, along with mentions of Shrek and Minions movies.
The title makes some sense. The first film’s post-credit scene teased the arrival of Mario’s bright green dinosaur steed / friend Yoshi, who made his videogame debut in… Super Mario World, which launched on the SNES in 1990. It was the console’s most popular game, selling more than 20 million copies.
