Even though The Super Mario Galaxy Movie didn’t hit the same for critics and general moviegoers, it’s impossible for anyone to deny that Universal and Illumination cooked up another box office bonanza, even if it will probably fall short of the first film’s billion-dollar earnings. Amidst all the financial talk, though, the REAL $64,000 question was asked: how many eyes does Yoshi actually have? (Also, is The $64,000 Question relevant to anyone who watched this movie?)
The stars of the 2026 movie release — Chris Pratt, Charlie Day and Donald Glover — were guests on my personal favorite video game podcast, Get Played, where co-host Heather Anne Campbell (of Rick and Morty fame) engaged in the hard ocular-based journalism by asking the trio about Yoshi’s eye count. And it’s a pure delight to see the three actors and three pod hosts (also including Doughboys' Nick "Tiger" Wiger and Strip Law voice actor Matt Apodaca) giggling over the inanity of what constitutes a demarcation between eye-whites.
