How Bowser Jr. Can Help Set Up A Luigi’s Mansion Spinoff In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

by

Bowser Jr. might be key to launching a new movie based on Luigi’s Mansion after The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Because Luigi’s Mansion is the most famous game starring Luigi as the hero, fans are eager to see Nintendo and Illumination create a project based on it.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie had a few fun hidden references to the Luigi’s Mansion games, but didn’t hint at a future film based on that series. However, with the movie being so successful, and a sequel likely to do well, a Luigi’s Mansion movie is definitely a possibility.

It’s still uncertain what will happen next, but current information about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie suggests a possible future storyline where Luigi embarks on a supernatural adventure. Bowser Jr. could play a crucial role in setting that up.

Bowser Jr.’s Magic Paintbrush Has A Connection To A Major Luigi’s Mansion Character

Promotional materials for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reveal Bowser Jr. using the Magic Paintbrush. This paintbrush is well-known from his first appearance in Super Mario Sunshine, where he used it to create his disguise as “Shadow Mario.”

The story of how he got it is explained in Super Mario Sunshine: Professor E. Gadd created the Magic Paintbrush. He first appeared a year before in Luigi’s Mansion, where he gave Luigi the Poltergeist 3000 – a powerful vacuum cleaner designed to catch ghosts.

Professor E. Gadd is now considered the main scientist in the Super Mario universe. He’s famous for inventing things like the Magic Paintbrush and the Poltergeist 3000 (along with all its earlier versions). He also created F.L.U.D.D. for Super Mario Sunshine and the time machine in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, plus many smaller gadgets throughout the Luigi’s Mansion games.

Why Professor E. Gadd May Be Relevant To The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

The trailers show Bowser Jr. transforming into both his Wonder Bowser Jr. form from Super Mario Wonder and a form resembling Fury Bowser from the Super Mario 3D World expansion, “Bowser’s Fury.” Given the history of the Magic Paintbrush, it’s likely that this paintbrush is the source of his transformations in the movie.

Considering this, the Magic Paintbrush probably isn’t just a tool Bowser Jr. uses in battle – it’s likely an important element of the story. If so, the movie The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will probably show where the paintbrush came from, and that could lead to Professor E. Gadd, the person who created it, appearing in the film or being mentioned.

The film might include Professor E. Gadd, a character with knowledge of how to defeat the Magic Paintbrush. If he appears, the story could also hint at or explain his invention, the Poltgeist 3000.

After Bowser Jr. is defeated, the heroes might try to give the stolen item back to its owner. This could lead to a key moment between Luigi and Professor E. Gadd, either at the end of a potential Super Mario Galaxy Movie or in a scene after the credits. If that happens, E. Gadd could then send Luigi on a big adventure to capture ghosts.
