The news of a new Super Mario Bros. movie is anything but surprising as, as of July 2023, 168.1 million people had seen the film worldwide, and it made over $1.349 billion at the global box office. That earned the film the honor of the highest global box office performance of a film based on a video game and the second-highest for an animated film.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will be released on Switch on May 23, 2024. Join Mario on an epic paper adventure to collect the Crystal Stars before the X-Nauts do!
The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first.
