Nintendo is teaming up with the LA Dodgers to promote the upcoming release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in theaters next month. Set to release nationwide on April 1st, 2026, what better way to promote the film than with an exclusive collectible at a baseball game? Yeah, I’m not exactly sure how that makes sense, but LA Dodgers fans may walk away from their March 31st game against the Cleveland Guardians with a unique Yoshi Bobblehead.

Posted on the Dodgers’ Twitter account last week, the first 40,000 fans in attendance for the March 31st game will have a chance to win the unique Yoshi Bobblehead figurine. The design features Yoshi wearing Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s jersey and a Dodgers hat. While it’s unlikely Yoshi will be playing baseball in the new film, it’s still a fun way to get some cross promotion going while paying tribute to one of the Dodgers’ best new players.

I don’t believe there will be any other opportunity to get this Bobblehead, so you’ll have to plan accordingly if you want a shot at getting it. There’s no pre-registration or anything necessary as the only rules for entering are to attend the game. Just make sure you show up early.
