Revealed during the September Nintendo Direct alongside a Super Mario Galaxy game collection, Rosalina’s Storybook will be published by Dark Horse Books on November 25, just in time for the holidays.

The full-color picture book details Rosalina’s journey to outer space, where she became the protector and leader of the Lumas. All nine chapters from the original in-game book are included with full-page illustrations. The Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 collection for Switch and Switch 2 has a new chapter, but you won’t find those pages in this book.
With Amazon and Walmart preorder price guarantees, you won’t be charged until your order ships and will automatically get any discounts offered before then.

Check out two of the pages from the upcoming physical edition of Rosalina’s Storybook below.
Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 launches October 2 in physical and digital format for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The physical edition is for original Switch consoles, but you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free. On Switch 2, the collection will run in 4K resolution. Both games support traditional button/stick controls and motion controls. You can preorder the collection for $70 at Amazon, Walmart, and other major retailers. Check out our Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 preorder guide for more details.
Nintendo is also releasing its first Super Mario Galaxy Amiibo figures featuring Mario and Luma and Rosalina and Lumas. The new Amiibo are up for preorder for $40 each and are scheduled to launch April 2, 2026. The lengthy wait for the new Amiibo was likely intentional, as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie releases in theaters April 2026.
Dark Horse Super Mario Books
Dark Horse Books has previously collaborated with Nintendo on multiple Super Mario books, including Super Mario Encyclopedia and The Art of Super Mario Odyssey. Both of these highly rated hardcover books are steeply discounted at Amazon.
Rosalina’s Storybook will be the longest Super Mario picture book, but there are other books parents can read to kids while they wait for their preorder to arrive, including Super Mario Little Golden Book and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. We’d also recommend checking out the Super Mario Adventures comic collection and Super Mario Manga Mania.

Metroid is also getting a new book this fall
One of Nintendo’s other highly anticipated games also has a companion book you can preorder now. Ahead of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond‘s December 4 launch on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, fans can revisit the original trilogy in book format with Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective. The 208-page hardcover book was initially revealed last year with a June 2025 release date, but it was pushed back to October 28. Metroid fans can preorder the lavish retrospective for $46.49 (was $50) at Amazon. The clothbound hardcover has a metallic foil illustration of Samus on the cover and includes commentary and behind-the-scenes artwork from Retro Studios’ archives. Published by Piggyback–the team behind the highly rated Legend of Zelda strategy guides–the Metroid Prime Trilogy retrospective is the first Metroid book in a long time.
