If you've seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie, then you're probably already aware that it contains not one, but two additional scenes after the credits roll. The question, however, is whether the sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, follows suit with its own post-credits scene.
The short answer is yes, so if that will suffice, then stop reading right now and go watch the thing. If you'd like more information, though, then feel free to stick with us. In this guide, we'll go over just how many scenes you can expect along with how they play out.
With that in mind, we'll make it clear right here that this article will contain heavy spoilers, so be warned!
Does The Super Mario Galaxy Movie have a post-credits scene?
Yep! Just like the first movie, there are two scenes to enjoy after the credits start rolling.
The first comes mid-credits, right after an animated credits sequence laying out the main cast members and creatives. The second comes right at the end of the credits, so stick with it for one final treat.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie post-credits scenes explained
Okay, so you now know to expect two scenes after the credits start rolling, but what actually happens in them? We'll go through each in detail right here, so this is your final spoiler warning.
Scene #1
The mid-credits scene takes place at a large prison facility in which Bowser and Bowser Jr. are being held following their defeat.
Toad and Fox McCloud leave through the front door, with Toad asking McCloud what his immediate plans are. McCloud confirms that he's about to set off toward his home planet before hopping into his Arwing, which feels like an incredibly blatant nod toward a potential Star Fox movie.
After this, Bowser and Bowser Jr. plot their escape, but are interrupted by the terminally-nihilistic Lumalee from the original movie, now serving as a prison warden.
Scene #2
The final scene takes place in the Gateway Galaxy, during which the incredibly mischievous Ukiki commits a theft before sprinting off. He doesn't get very far, however, as an unseen character whacks him in the face and sends him sprawling.
The camera pans around to reveal a new character for the movie series: Princess Daisy.
Boom, scene ends.
Will there be a third movie?
Nothing has been officially announced at the time of writing beyond the makers' desires to make more films, but a third entry seems extremely likely given the early projections for this instalment. We'll keep an eye out for that all-important Nintendo Today! announcement in the coming months.
As for what a second sequel might entail, we really have no idea at the moment. Honestly, some of us thought this sequel would be an adaptation of Super Mario World before its official reveal, so we were way off.
Wario was mistakenly hinted at by third-party sources prior to release, so we guess it's possible he might finally show up in a future movie, but we'll have to wait and see.
So there you have it! Have you caught the the Mario Galaxy Movie yet? Did you stick around for the post-credits scenes? Let us know with a comment.
