Reports indicate The Super Mario Galaxy Movie may arrive on paid digital platforms on 5 May, only five weekends after its early-April cinema release. The film has enjoyed a strong box-office performance since opening, and the early paid digital window would represent a faster home-release turnaround than the previous Super Mario feature.
The listing was flagged by When to Stream and highlighted by Forbes, with Nintendo Life running a full report on the potential date. The Nintendo Life article noted the 5 May date as the earliest likely paid digital release, although the information currently stems from third-party listings rather than an official studio announcement.
Neither Universal Pictures nor Nintendo has confirmed a digital release date at the time of the report. If the 5 May listing proves accurate, the move would align with the industry’s growing use of premium video-on-demand (PVOD) windows that place paid digital options shortly after—or in some cases alongside—cinema runs.
As with any unconfirmed VOD listing, the date remains subject to change until Universal or Nintendo issue an official statement. Further updates are expected as studios finalise their home-release schedules.
