Super Mario Galaxy Movie Popcorn Buckets: Every Design, Price and Where to Get Them

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters on April 1, 2026, and the popcorn bucket lineup is already turning heads. 2Between a $35 Super Ticket Package, an LED light-up Luma Star Popcorn Bucket, a Yoshi Popcorn Bucket, and Bowser’s Cauldron, theater chains are going all-in for opening day. If you are a Mario fan or a collector, here is everything you need to know before the lights go down.

Yoshi Popcorn Bucket Drops at Six Major Theater Chains

The star of this whole lineup is Yoshi. And this time, he is not just riding Mario’s back.

14 The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket is a full-figure sculpt of Yoshi sitting in a relaxed pose, holding a white Yoshi Egg bowl out in front of him. That egg is where your popcorn goes. The detail is impressive: big round head, blue eyes, little orange shoes, red shell on his back, and the classic green-and-white color scheme throughout. 14 It is a 105oz full-figure collectible bucket, available at AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Harkins, Marcus Theatres, Showcase Cinemas, and more. That is more than twice the size of a standard large movie theater popcorn.

This bucket is not exclusive to any single chain. 14The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket is non-exclusive, meaning it is available across multiple chains at the same time. AMC Theatres was the first to announce it on March 7th. Regal, Cinemark, Harkins, Marcus Theatres, Showcase Cinemas, and others followed.

14 Pricing has not been officially confirmed across all chains, but based on comparable collectible theater buckets from recent major releases, expect the Yoshi bucket to land around $50. 11 At Cinemark, it comes with XL popcorn and a free same-day refill.

Cinemark’s $35 Super Ticket Bundle With Bowser’s Cauldron

Cinemark is not just selling buckets. They built an entire experience around this movie.

2 The Cinemark Super Ticket Package is priced at $35 and is valid exclusively for customers who purchase a Super Ticket showtime on April 1, 2026, at participating Cinemark theatres. This is not a standard opening-day purchase. The Super Ticket Package includes six items.

Here is what you get inside the $35 bundle:

• Mini Popcorn Cauldron with a Bowser keychain attached
• Mini Poster featuring the film’s theatrical art
• 1 of 6 collectible Luma Push Pins (randomly assigned)
• Medium Drink
• Movie-themed Popcorn Tub
• Your movie ticket

5 The Bowser bucket has been “forged in a thousand tiny fires” and is a mini-sized bucket reflecting the miniature size that Bowser finds himself in at the start of the film. It is a clever nod to the story, where Bowser Jr., voiced by Benny Safdie, is on a mission to free his imprisoned dad. 6 Beyond the buckets, Cinemark’s store will also include a 44oz souvenir cup, a throw blanket, a Luma plushie bag clip, a 130oz round popcorn tin, and a 170oz square popcorn tub.

Luma LED Popcorn Bucket Glows in Four Colors

This one might steal the show.

2 The 105oz Luma Star LED Popcorn Bucket is available in four colors: green, red, yellow, and blue. 26 Each bucket is shaped like a Luma star character with a built-in LED light.

The orange variant is a Fandango exclusive. 4For $49.99, you get one movie ticket to experience The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on the big screen plus one Orange Luma LED Popcorn Bucket. That bundle is available for pre-order right now through the Fandango app.

5 The Luma bucket features a hatch at the back of the character for popcorn and an LED light at its base to provide a soft orange glow.

Want all six colors? 26Epic Theatres is carrying the Luma LED Popcorn Buckets in all six colors: orange, red, pink, blue, green, and yellow. That is the full set, which puts Epic ahead of some larger chains that are only offering four color variants. 26With 11 theater locations across Florida and one in North Carolina, Epic Theatres is a regional chain, but the lineup they are bringing for April 1st rivals anything the national chains are offering.

Regal and Showcase Add Even More Mario Merch

Popcorn buckets are only part of the picture.

6 Regal will feature a Super Mario thermos. It will also offer Mario-themed beverages like Peach Freeze ICEE and Star Power Cherry ICEE, along with Super Mario Galaxy Feastable candies.

Those Feastable candies include a Galaxy Cocoa Crunch Bar, Sour Boost Gummies, and a White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Yoshi Egg. You will only find them at Regal locations.

3 Showcase Cinemas confirmed its full lineup. When the film opens on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, Showcase locations will have five themed items available on opening day, while supplies last. Those items include the Yoshi bucket, a galaxy-themed Cup, a Tub, a Square Cup, and a Square Tin.

Meanwhile, at Universal theme parks, the movie tie-ins go beyond the theater. 12Yoshi will participate in a limited-time meet-and-greet in Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Epic Universe. 12Limited-time merch includes exclusive first-of-its-kind blue and yellow interactive shoulder pals themed to the Luma, which feature light and sound and will communicate with each other when close together.

How to Grab a Bucket Before They Sell Out

If history is any guide, these will disappear fast.

10 These theater-exclusive buckets have a history of selling out quickly, especially for opening weekend. The wide theater rollout helps, but demand for Mario merchandise has been massive ever since the first film came out. Waiting a few weeks could mean empty shelves.

Here are a few tips to stay ahead:

• Check your local AMC, Regal, or Cinemark listings before April 1 for availability updates
• 11 The movie opens Wednesday, April 1, with midnight screenings starting the night of March 31 at select Regal, AMC, Cinemark, and Harkins locations. The midnight showing on March 31 is your best shot at getting ahead of opening day demand.
• Pre-order the Fandango Orange Luma bundle now if you want the exclusive color shipped to your door
• 30 Some items are available starting March 17 at the Cinemark Shop and participating theatres.

16 The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an animated adventure comedy film based on the 2007 video game Super Mario Galaxy and its 2010 sequel. It is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic and written by Matthew Fogel. 16 Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kevin Michael Richardson reprise their roles, with Benny Safdie, Donald Glover, Issa Rae, Luis Guzman, and Brie Larson joining the cast.

The first Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023 became a cultural event that went far beyond the screen. This sequel is shaping up to do the same thing, and the collectible popcorn buckets are already proof. Whether you want Yoshi on your shelf, a glowing Luma on your desk, or a tiny Bowser cauldron on your keychain, the theater experience this April is about more than just watching a movie. It is about bringing a piece of the Mushroom Kingdom home. Tell us in the comments which bucket you are grabbing on opening day!
