"Super Mario World" Sequel Title Revealed and Retracted by NBCUniversal

Excitement is building around the potential title of the sequel to *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* after an NBCUniversal press release may have inadvertently revealed it. The press release, which highlighted upcoming content for their Upfront Showcase, initially included "Super Mario World" as one of the films set to be released on Peacock, alongside other anticipated titles from Universal Pictures and Illumination.

This mention of "Super Mario World" quickly spread across the internet, prompting Universal to revise the press release and remove any reference to Mario. The swift action to edit the document suggests that the title might have been disclosed prematurely. A tweet from Wario64 captured the change, showcasing the original and revised versions of the press release.

Interestingly, the initial paragraph listed "Super Mario World, Shrek, and Minions" together. Given that "Shrek" and "Minions" are shorthand for "Shrek 5" and "Minions 3," respectively, it raises questions about whether "Super Mario World" is the final title or merely a placeholder for the Mario sequel. The other films have more specific titles, which suggests that "Super Mario World" could indeed be the correct name for the next installment in the Mario franchise.

The title "Super Mario World" resonates well with fans, as it harkens back to the classic 1990 Super Nintendo game of the same name, known for its expansive world and innovative gameplay. If this turns out to be the official title, it could signify a broader, more adventurous storyline for Mario and his friends.

While we await official confirmation, the speculation around "Super Mario World" adds to the anticipation for what could be another thrilling cinematic journey in the beloved Mario universe.
