Sounds Like Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy Movie Backstory for Princess Peach Is Now Video Game Canon, Too

Miyamoto said Nintendo should keep the film’s Peach and Rosalina sister reveal in future games, after the movie earned nearly $750 million worldwide.

  • Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto said he hopes future games will adhere to Princess Peach's expanded backstory from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which reveals she and Rosalina are sisters.
  • Previously, Miyamoto told Nintendo Dream Web he avoided strict character backstories because they would become a "constraint" on gameplay, which had prevented him from making movies for years.
  • The film shows Peach and Rosalina as sisters born from stardust who were separated, with Peach sent to the Mushroom Kingdom for her own safety as a child.
  • Universal and Illumination's animated film topped the U.S. box office for three weeks straight, earning nearly $750 million in ticket sales worldwide, validating the creative expansion.
  • While the sibling connection was created specifically for the film rather than long-held lore, Miyamoto now intends to expand on character origins in future Nintendo titles.
