Nintendo Updated Super Mario Galaxy 2 After 16 Years And Fans Are Confused, Mostly

Nintendo quietly updated Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Switch, adding bug fixes plus a new Rosalina storybook epilogue 16 years after launch.

The extra page is vague, prompting fans to debate whether it suggests a symbolic link between Rosalina and Princess Peach or just Rosalina reflecting on her past.

There is still no official confirmation in the games that Rosalina and Peach are siblings or otherwise directly related.

The surprise retro update has revived broader discussion about Mario canon and whether Nintendo is aligning game lore with the movie version of the characters.
