Nintendo has quietly inserted new story material into Super Mario Galaxy 2, adding a small but notable piece of Rosalina-related lore more than a decade after the game's original 2010 release, Eurogamer reports.
The addition was first highlighted by fans and picked up by gaming press, with Eurogamer noting the surprise of an unexpected narrative tweak to a title from the Wii era. The new content is modest in scope but carries weight for series fans because it expands on the backstory of Rosalina, a character whose origin and relationship with the game's Lumas have long been the subject of community interest.
The development underlines Nintendo's occasional willingness to revisit and refine older entries in its catalogue, even where changes are subtle. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is widely regarded as one of the high points of 3D Mario design, and the fresh lore has prompted renewed discussion among long-time players and lore enthusiasts.
Further details and context are available in Eurogamer's coverage of the update.
