The digital release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie may arrive later than originally planned. The film was expected on May 5, but the new estimated release date has shifted to May 19. This comes from an update to the release schedule by When to Stream.

Rosalina’s new chapter
Ahead of the film, Nintendo has also added a new chapter to Rosalina’s storybook, timed to the movie arriving more than ten years after the original release. This chapter, titled The Epilogue , can be read once the final chapter in the storybook becomes available. Players need to collect one of the stars in the game’s various galaxies to unlock access.
Criticism of the film
The movie has received mixed reviews, with some critics giving it an average score of 2 out of 5 stars. Criticism appears to point to a lack of tension in the story, similar to other recent films such as Love Story on Hulu, which was also criticized for lacking urgency in its plot.
