Nintendo and others set Guinness World Record for World’s Smallest Popcorn Container as part of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Promotions continue for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and now Nintendo and Illumination, Universal Pictures, and Zinc Group have achieved a Guinness World Record for the World’s Smallest Popcorn Container.
The popcorn collectible is inspired by Bowser’s tiny cauldron from the upcoming film. It’s said that this “represents the latest example of the growing role of theatrical collectibles in creating immersive cinema experiences, giving audiences a unique way to celebrate the worlds and characters they love long after the credits roll.”
Here’s some additional information about the Guinness World Record for the World’s Smallest Popcorn Container in celebration of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie:
The record was officially assessed and confirmed at 2:00 pm on March 17 at Universal Cinema AMC at Universal CityWalk Hollywood, where a Guinness World Records adjudicator verified the container’s dimensions and capacity. At the widest point this popcorn container measures 2.6 inches (6.6cm) holding approximately 5–11 kernels of popcorn, making it the smallest functional popcorn vessel on record.
The precisely crafted miniature cauldron is a faithful replica of Bowser’s very mini cauldron, a playful homage to the new film, which follows Nintendo and Illumination’s 2023 record-shattering blockbuster, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. In the previous film, which earned $1.3 billion worldwide, Bowser consumed a blue star that shrank him to a miniature size, leaving the once-fearsome villain confined within a tiny castle inside Princess Peach’s castle in Mushroom Kingdom.
The collectible popcorn cauldron transforms that story element into a piece of theatrical memorabilia for fans.
The Guinness World Record-holding popcorn container will go on sale from April 1 at participating cinemas, including AMC Theatres in the United States, Vue Cinemas in Taiwan, and Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) in Malaysia.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes to theaters on April 1, 2026. In related news, a Yoshi popcorn bucket was previously revealed – check that out here.
