NBCUniversal, the parent company of 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' production and distribution company, released a press release on May 13, 2025, about the various films that will be released through 2026, the 100th anniversary of the company's founding.

On this occasion, 'Super Mario World' was included in the list of films scheduled to be exclusively distributed on the streaming service Peacock after their release.

If you check past press releases on the Wayback Machine provided by the Internet Archive, you will see a reference to 'Super Mario World.'



However, at the time of writing, the mention of 'Super Mario World' has been removed, along with any references to 'Shrek' and 'Minions.'



The Verge, an IT news site that reported on the incident, pointed out that the scene after the end credits of 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' showed a Yoshi egg from the Super Nintendo game 'Super

Mario World,' so it makes sense that the sequel to the movie would be called 'Super Mario World.'
