Another film critic Hunter Bolding said, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a blast of color and amazing imagery. It’s like those old Wii games coming off the screen and into the theater. People young and old will get a kick out of this movie. Glen Powell is perfect as Star Fox.”

Another movie journalist, Movie Deaths, said, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an absolute blast! A dazzling animation spectacle and easily one of the most fun theater experiences of the year. The returning cast is just as great as the first time around, but Fox McCloud and Yoshi completely steal the show. Full review on Tuesday.”

Tomatometer-approved Cris Parker said, “#MarioGalaxyMovie Is the fun watch I’d hoped it’d be. Visually gorgeous animation with TONS of eye candy for Nintendo fans (some surprises too!) . So much does get packed into one story it feels chaotic & unfocused. I still had a good time flaws and all.”

Journalist turned digital creator Ashley Carter said, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an improvement over its predecessor in some ways and more of the same in others. Great animation. Fantastic score. Nice balance of additional characters (Star Fox is a highlight). TONS of Easter eggs. But still has issues with story and pacing.”

Another Tomatometer-approved critic, Kristen Maldonado, said, “#TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie is a fun, fast-paced ride that teases intriguing lore and family dynamics, but pulls back before it can dig deeper. Bowser and Jr’s connection was a standout, but I was missing another Bowser song. The ending felt abrupt. I liked it, but didn’t love it.”

Christopher Gallardo said, “THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE is whimsical, vibrant, and fun in every way. The cast is pretty great, but Jack Black’s Bowser and Donald Glover’s Yoshi are ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. The visuals really burst out, the story is sweet, and those references TRULY SHINE!”
