- Official Launch: The full collection hits shops on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
- Pre-Order Phase: App users can secure their “Galactic Dozen” starting April 1st (Movie Premiere Day).
- Movie Tie-In: Celebrating the theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
- The Flavors: Four limited-edition donuts including the “Star Bit” Glaze and “Rosalina’s Cosmic Sparkle.”
- The Collectibles: Every specialty dozen comes in a holographic commemorative box featuring Mario and the Lumas.
Blast off for breakfast! As the world counts down the final days until The Super Mario Galaxy Movie warps into theaters on April 1st, Nintendo and Illumination have officially teamed up with Krispy Kreme for their most ambitious (and delicious) power-up yet. Starting today, fans can snag the limited-edition Intergalactic Collection, featuring a star-studded lineup of donuts inspired by Mario’s cosmic journey.
Whether you’re craving a “Star Bit” Sprinkled Original or a “Rosalina’s Comet” Jelly-Filled, this collaboration is the ultimate fuel for the long lines at the premiere. But you better move fast—like a Gold Mushroom sprint—because these treats are expected to vanish from shelves faster than a disappearing platform in the Gusty Garden Galaxy.

The Launch Strategy
Mark your calendars: while the movie premieres this week, the donuts won’t physically arrive in shops until April 8th. However, in a move that’s sure to cause a digital stampede, Krispy Kreme is opening in-app pre-orders on April 1st. This allows moviegoers to walk out of the theater and immediately “lock in” their treats for the following week.
Meet the “Galaxy” Lineup
The collection features four exclusive flavors inspired by the game’s most iconic cosmic elements:
- The Star Bit Original: A classic glazed donut dipped in “shimmering blue” icing and topped with multi-colored star sprinkles.
- Rosalina’s Cosmic Sparkle: A velvet-filled donut topped with edible silver luster dust and a white chocolate “Grand Star.”
- Luma’s Honey Glaze: A golden-yellow, honey-infused donut that’s as sweet as the Lumas themselves.
- The Bowser Jr. Splatter: A dark chocolate donut with neon “Paint Splatter” icing, honoring the mischievous prince’s paintbrush.
Beyond the Box
It’s not just about the sugar. Krispy Kreme is going all-in on the aesthetic. The Galactic Dozen comes in a limited-edition holographic box that serves as a collectible for die-hard fans. Additionally, shops will be serving a limited-time “Luma Latte”—a vanilla-topped espresso with yellow star-shaped marshmallows.
How to Secure Yours
If the 2023 Mario movie taught us anything, it’s that Nintendo fans move fast. These donuts are expected to sell out daily during their release week. To avoid the “Game Over” screen at the counter, your best bet is to use the Krispy Kreme App on April 1st to secure your pre-order for the April 8th launch.
