Immerse yourself in the vibrant, full-color journey of Rosalina as she ventures into the cosmos, eventually becoming the protector and guide of the Lumas. This book faithfully presents all nine chapters from the original game, accompanied by beautifully rendered, full-page illustrations. It’s worth noting that while the new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 collection for Switch and Switch 2 features an updated chapter, it won’t be included in this edition of the book.
Take advantage of Amazon’s preorder price guarantee: you’ll only be charged upon shipping, and you’ll automatically receive any price reductions offered before the release date.
Take a peek at a couple of pages from Rosalina’s Storybook below.
The Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 collection is arriving on October 2nd, available both as a physical release and digitally for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. The physical version will be compatible with original Switch consoles, and a free upgrade to the Switch 2 edition will be offered. Expect the collection to be rendered in stunning 4K resolution on Switch 2. Both games will feature both classic button/stick configurations and motion control options. You can secure your preorder for the collection at Amazon for $70, at Walmart, and at most other major retailers. Be sure to consult our comprehensive preorder guide for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 to discover every detail.
Furthermore, Nintendo is introducing its inaugural Super Mario Galaxy Amiibo figures, featuring Mario alongside Luma and Rosalina accompanied by Lumas. Each of these new Amiibo figures is available for preorder at $40, slated for release on April 2, 2026. This considerable wait for the Amiibo is likely intentional, aligning with the theatrical premiere of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in April 2026.
Delving into Dark Horse Super Mario Books
Dark Horse Books has an established partnership with Nintendo, responsible for previous Super Mario books, including the Super Mario Encyclopedia and The Art of Super Mario Odyssey. Both these acclaimed hardcover volumes are currently offered with significant discounts on Amazon.
Although Rosalina’s Storybook will stand as the most extensive Super Mario picture book yet, other books are available to entertain children while awaiting its release, such as Super Mario Little Golden Book and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. We would also recommend exploring the Super Mario Adventures comic collection, and Super Mario Manga Mania.

New Metroid Book Coming This Fall
Another anticipated Nintendo game also has an accompanying book now available for preorder. In anticipation of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond‘s launch on December 4th for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, fans can revisit the original trilogy in the form of Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective. This 208-page hardcover book, initially announced last year with a June 2025 release, has been moved to October 28th. Metroid fans can preorder the lavish retrospective at Amazon for $46.49 (originally $50). This clothbound hardcover includes a metallic foil illustration of Samus on its cover and commentary and exclusive behind-the-scenes artwork from Retro Studios’ archives. Published by Piggyback, the creators behind the highly-regarded Legend of Zelda strategy guides, the Metroid Prime Trilogy retrospective signifies the first Metroid book release in quite some time.
