Nintendo is typically very good at keeping things under wraps and preventing leaks, but that might be harder to do now that it’s making billion-dollar Hollywood movies.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie releases in April 2026, but aside from a quick teaser trailer, we haven’t seen much of it yet. It’s not a surprise that the sequel to 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie would feature Yoshi, Mario’s green dinosaur friend, as it was teased in a post-credits scene in the first movie.
However, a box for a Pillsbury product promoting the movie (sugar cookies resembling Yoshi eggs) appeared on the Tops Market website. On that box, you can see what seems to be Yoshi’s appearance in the film, though it hasn’t been officially revealed yet through a trailer or other promotional material.

As you can see, Yoshi’s design here closely resembles his look from the modern Mario games. The main clue that this is connected to the new movie is the Mario flying behind Yoshi on the box — it’s clearly Chris Pratt’s animated version of the character. That, and the fact that the product is heavily Galaxy-themed, which would be odd unless it were tied to the upcoming film based on the 2007 game. As a bonus, there’s even a small Bowser Jr. tease on the back of the box.
Now I kinda want to try those cookies.
