Fans of Super Mario Galaxy can now pre-order a physical edition of Rosalina`s Storybook. Unveiled during the September Nintendo Direct alongside a Super Mario Galaxy game collection, Rosalina`s Storybook adapts the beloved in-game narrative into a 112-page hardcover volume. Published by Dark Horse Books, this highly anticipated release is set for November 25, making it a perfect holiday gift. Pre-orders are currently available on Amazon for $25.
This vibrant, full-color picture book beautifully illustrates Rosalina`s cosmic journey, depicting her transformation into the protector and leader of the Lumas. It features all nine chapters from the original in-game book, complete with captivating full-page illustrations. It`s important to note that any new chapters introduced in the Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 collection for Switch will not be included in this physical edition. Amazon`s preorder price guarantee ensures that you will only be charged upon shipment, and any price drops before then will automatically be applied to your order.
The comprehensive Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 collection is scheduled to launch on October 2, available in both physical and digital formats for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. While the physical edition is primarily designed for existing Switch consoles, owners will have the option to freely upgrade to the Switch 2 version, which promises to deliver the collection in stunning 4K resolution. Both games will fully support traditional button/stick controls alongside intuitive motion controls. You can secure your copy of the collection for $70 through pre-orders at major retailers including Amazon and Walmart.
Adding to the excitement, Nintendo is also introducing its first Super Mario Galaxy Amiibo figures, showcasing iconic characters like Mario and Luma, and Rosalina and Lumas. These collectible Amiibo figures are now available for pre-order at $40 each, with a planned release date of April 2, 2026. This extended waiting period for the new Amiibo is likely a strategic move, aligning with the theatrical release of “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” in April 2026.
