Universal SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” now playing in theaters.
Just like its predecessor, “The Super Mario Galaxy” movie is packed with characters, enemies and power-ups from the entire history of “Mario” video games — but this time there are nods to several other Nintendo titles.
The first major crossover came with the reveal that Glen Powell would be voicing “Star Fox” pilot Fox McCloud in the sequel. Fox, who’s also one of the original characters from the “Super Smash Bros.” fighting series alongside Mario, plays a surprisingly substantial role for a non-“Mario” character. He meets Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi while they’re stranded in space and surrounded by tons of unfamiliar characters. He offers to fly them in his Arwing spaceship and joins the battle against Bowser and Bowser Jr. — he even gets his own backstory flashback.
In the first post-credits scene, Fox and one of the Toads fly to a deserted prison where Bowser (now in his Dry Bowser form after being burnt by lava) and Bowser Jr. sit defeated. The “Star Fox” music plays over the quick scene, and many fans are hoping this leads to a “Star Fox” movie or even a “Super Smash Bros.” crossover.
Characters from all over the Nintendo universe and beyond (like Sonic and Pac-Man) come together to battle in the “Super Smash Bros.” games, and now many characters have been introduced in the “Mario” movies. Mario, Fox, Luigi, Yoshi and Donkey Kong have been on every “Super Smash Bros.” roster, and characters like Peach, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Rosalina and Diddy Kong joined later on. There were also cameos from R.O.B., Mr. Game & Watch and Captain Olimar’s Pikmin in “Super Mario Galaxy,” totaling 13 references to “Smash Bros.” characters — plus one more in the final post-credits scene.
Peach’s royal counterpart Princess Daisy pops up in the final scene of the movie, introducing one of the “Mario” series’ most popular characters. Earlier in “Super Mario Galaxy,” Luigi referenced wanting a princess of his own after Mario and Peach grow close, and it appears he’ll get his wish if a third movie is made. Daisy is often portrayed as Luigi’s love interest, and she appears in many of the “Mario” video games and as an alternate version of Peach in “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.”

Daisy
Princess Daisy first appeared as another damsel in distress in 1989’s “Super Mario Land” and was the ruler of a new area called Sarasaland. Her brown hair and yellow dress contrasted her with Peach, and she was frequently portrayed as Luigi’s love interest. She’s playable in many “Mario” games, including as an alternate Peach in “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,” and makes a post-credits cameo in “Super Mario Galaxy.”
