Super Mario World (2026)

The ending of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has Bowser Jr. defeated, Bowser surviving in skeletal form, and Rosalina restored after Peach reaches her in the weapon's core. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, and the Lumas then return to the Mushroom Kingdom and begin rebuilding Peach's castle together.

In short, the heroes win the battle, save Rosalina, and stop the power-draining weapon. Bowser is cast down into lava, but he does not remain gone; he returns in a skeletal state, and Bowser Jr. ends up locked up with him by the end of the film.

At the end, the story moves into a quiet but important rebuilding phase. Mario and Luigi come back with Peach, Rosalina, and the Lumas, and the castle is still missing when they arrive. Instead of ending on destruction, the film closes with the characters joining together to rebuild what was lost.

Here is the ending in a more detailed chronological narrative:

Rosalina is still trapped in the core of the weapon, and her energy is draining away. Peach reaches her there and sees that Rosalina is weak and close to death. Peach remembers their shared power and calls out to Rosalina, telling her to press on her hand from her side. The connection works, and Rosalina is recovered by that shared power just moments before she dies. Freed from the weapon, Rosalina survives, and the weapon no longer holds her.

With Rosalina saved, the film shifts to the fate of Planet Bowser. Rosalina and Peach, now reunited, transform Planet Bowser into a clean, nature-filled world. This is the last major act of the story's conflict: the destructive force tied to Bowser's side is undone, and the world itself is changed.

The Lumas gather around Rosalina again after her rescue. They reunite with her, and then they ask to visit Peach's Castle. Mario and Luigi react with dread, because they know the castle is gone. When the group returns to the Mushroom Kingdom, the castle is still completely destroyed. Luigi, looking nervous, tells the Lumas that the castle has just "died." Mario then says that they will rebuild it together, and Rosalina and the Lumas join in. The ending closes on that promise of repair and shared effort.

Bowser's fate is darker but not final. Mario confronts Bowser on a bridge suspended over a lava moat. Bowser is trying to force the battle to continue, and Mario uses one of Bowser's own axes to cut the bridge apart. Bowser falls into the lava below. He survives, but he returns in a skeletal form, becoming Dry Bowser.

Bowser Jr.'s ending is tied directly to that fall. After Bowser is lost in the lava, Bowser Jr. is enraged by what happened to his father. He recovers his brush from Luigi by throwing Dry Bowser's shell at him, and this also defeats Game & Watch in the process. He then creates a replica of the Ruined Dragon. That creature unexpectedly swallows him whole. Mario then uses a Red Star to become Flying Mario and defeats the Ruined Dragon, saving Bowser Jr. from it. By the end of the film, Bowser Jr. is alive, but he is also one of the villains locked up after the defeat.

Mario's ending is active and triumphant. He defeats Bowser by cutting the bridge and later uses the Red Star to transform into Flying Mario to stop the Ruined Dragon and save Bowser Jr. He then returns to the Mushroom Kingdom and helps lead the rebuilding effort with the others.

Luigi's ending is quieter but important. He returns safely with the group, participates in the rebuilding, and is the one who nervously tells the Lumas that the castle "died." He remains with Mario and the others at the end.

Peach's ending centers on rescue and restoration. She finds Rosalina in the core, reaches out to her, and helps save her from dying. Peach then joins Rosalina in transforming Planet Bowser into a healthier world. She returns to the Mushroom Kingdom and helps rebuild the castle afterward.

Rosalina's ending is one of survival and reunion. She is first seen near death while her energy is being drained. Peach restores her through their shared power, and she is freed from the weapon just in time. She then joins Peach in remaking Planet Bowser and later goes with the group back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

The Lumas end the story reunited with Rosalina and involved in the rebuilding of Peach's castle. They are no longer separated from her, and they participate in the final return to the Mushroom Kingdom.

If you want, I can also give this ending again in an even simpler "storybook" style, still scene by scene.

Based on the available results for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026), the only character explicitly described as dying is Rosalina, and even that death is framed as happening "moments" before she would have died, because Peach rescues her in time.

Rosalina: - Circumstances: She is found in the core of Bowser Jr.'s weapon, where her energy is being drained. - Why: Bowser Jr.'s machine is weakening her as part of his attack and captivity. - When: Near the climax of the film, during Peach's rescue mission inside the weapon. - How: She is "slowly dying" from the energy drain, but Peach restores her by sharing power with her; the film description says this happens "moments before her demise," so she does not appear to actually die on-screen.

Bowser is attacked and later survives as Dry Bowser, so he is not listed as dead in the source material provided.

If you want, I can also give you a full death-count style breakdown of every apparent fatality or near-death event mentioned in the movie's plot summary.

Yes, the movie titled Super Mario World (the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie) is expected to have post-credit scenes, continuing the tradition established by the first film. The original Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) had two post-credit scenes: one mid-credits featuring Bowser singing about his plans for revenge while locked in a cage, and a second post-credits scene showing a green-spotted egg cracking in the Brooklyn sewers, hinting at the arrival of Yoshi, a key character from the Super Mario World game.

For Super Mario World (2026), while detailed plot information is not fully available yet, the title itself was revealed in connection with the post-credit scene of the first movie, which introduced Yoshi's egg. This strongly suggests that the sequel will continue from that scene and likely include its own post-credit scenes to tease further developments or characters, following the pattern of the first film.

In summary, the 2026 Super Mario World movie is anticipated to have post-credit scenes, continuing the franchise's use of these scenes to set up future storylines, though specific details about those scenes have not been publicly disclosed yet.
