It appears that the title of the sequel to *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* may have been revealed prematurely by an NBCUniversal press release. The release, which was meant to announce the offerings at their Upfront Showcase, inadvertently mentioned *Super Mario World* as an upcoming film from Universal Pictures and Illumination, slated for release on their streaming service, Peacock.
The internet quickly caught wind of this slip-up, and it didn't take long for Universal to revise the press release, completely removing any mention of Mario. As noted by Wario64 on Twitter, the original paragraph listed "Super Mario World, Shrek, and Minions." Given that the other two titles are shorthand for *Shrek 5* and *Minions 3*, it's possible that "Super Mario World" might not be the final title for the Mario sequel but rather a placeholder or umbrella term.
Interestingly, *Super Mario World* is a more specific title than simply *Super Mario* or *Super Mario Bros.*, which adds credibility to the speculation that it could indeed be the name of the next Mario movie. This title would resonate well with fans, given its historical significance in the Mario franchise.
