The tradition of a new Nintendo console launching with a flagship Mario game is strong, and the Switch 2 is unlikely to be an exception. The gaming community is rife with speculation that a new 3D Mario title, potentially a sequel to the critically acclaimed *Super Mario Odyssey*, is being prepared. * Super Mario Odyssey 2: While an official title is unconfirmed, many believe Super Mario Odyssey 2 is in development, continuing the capture mechanic introduced by Mario's sentient cap, Cappy. * Launch Window: This next major 3D adventure is speculated to launch around the holiday season of 2026, or possibly earlier as a key launch title for the new console.The 2D Platformer Sequel: Super Mario Bros. Wonder 2
The success of *Super Mario Bros. Wonder* has all but guaranteed a sequel in the classic 2D platforming style. Rumors point to Super Mario Bros. Wonder 2 being released in March 2026, coinciding with the early life of the Nintendo Switch 2. * Switch 2 Edition: A dedicated version, titled *Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park*, is also rumored for a Q2 2026 release, suggesting enhanced features or exclusive content for the new hardware. * New Power-Ups and Characters: Fans expect the sequel to expand on the "Wonder Flower" mechanic, introducing even more bizarre and creative transformations for Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, and Toad.Mario Kart 9: The Racing Giant
Another major entity rumored for the Nintendo Switch 2's early lineup is a new installment in the racing spin-off series, Mario Kart 9 (or a similar successor title). The *Mario Kart* franchise is a perennial best-seller, and its presence would be a massive draw for the new console's launch, potentially introducing new characters like Bowser Jr., new tracks, and new anti-gravity mechanics.The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: Cinematic Expansion (2026)
The cinematic universe of Mario is also expanding rapidly, with the highly anticipated sequel to *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* now having a rumored official title and release date.Official Title and Release Date
The sequel is reportedly titled The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

While the first movie focused on the battle with Bowser in the familiar Mushroom Kingdom, the *Galaxy* title suggests a much broader, universe-spanning narrative. This shift will allow the film to introduce new worlds, new power-ups, and potentially new threats, moving beyond the Koopa Troopa army and into the realm of truly cosmic villains. The parallel timing with the *Super Mario Galaxy* game bundle suggests a coordinated effort between Nintendo and Illumination to cross-promote the game and movie entities.Topical Authority Entities in the Super Mario Universe
To truly understand the depth of the Super Mario world, one must appreciate the key entities that make up its lore and success. The upcoming releases will feature a host of these characters and concepts, driving the franchise's continued success. The core of the Super Mario experience revolves around its characters and gameplay mechanics: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser. The supporting cast includes Toad, Yoshi, and the fan-favorite, Cappy, from *Super Mario Odyssey*. The world itself is defined by the Mushroom Kingdom, the vastness of the Super Mario Galaxy, and the constant threat of the Koopa Troopa army. Key gameplay elements that will feature prominently in the new games include the classic Fire Flower and Super Star power-ups, the innovation of the Wonder Flower from *Wonder*, and the motion-based controls expected on the Nintendo Switch 2. All of this is overseen by the creative genius of Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary developer who first brought the character to life in *Donkey Kong* before he became the global phenomenon he is today. This interconnected web of characters and concepts ensures the franchise maintains its topical authority across gaming and cinema.
