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

It appears that the title for the sequel to *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* may have been revealed prematurely through an NBCUniversal press release. The document, which was meant to highlight upcoming content for their Upfront Showcase, inadvertently mentioned *Super Mario World* as one of the future films set to be released on Peacock, the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal.

The mention of *Super Mario World* quickly spread across the internet, prompting Universal to revise the press release and remove any reference to Mario. This swift action was captured and shared by social media users, with one notable post from Wario64 on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing the change:

The original press release also listed *Super Mario World* alongside *Shrek* and *Minions*, which are known to be shorthand for *Shrek 5* and *Minions 3*. This suggests that *Super Mario World* might be a placeholder or an umbrella term rather than the final title for the Mario sequel. It's important to note that the actual titles for the next *Shrek* and *Minions* movies are more specific than just their franchise names.

Despite this, *Super Mario World* stands out as a more detailed title compared to a generic *Super Mario* or *Super Mario Bros.* Given its specificity, it's reasonable to speculate that this could indeed be the title for the next installment in the Mario cinematic universe.
