I will say this: it’ll be interesting to see how they explain Fox showing up in this.

We already know from the Kart and Party games Donkey Kong and Mario are canonically in the same universe, so no extra legwork needed for him (and the rest of the DK Crew) appearing in the first Mario (animated) movie. Fox, Samus, Link, etc. aren’t, so barring some incursion/time travel/universe-jumping, it can’t happen. It’s not as simple as him and Mario going to space at the same time in this.

Mario, Luigi, and Peach get flung out their world into a new galaxy where Rosalina is, Bowser/Jr. trigger events that cause galaxies to start collapsing on each other, they go into another new galaxy has Fox in it with the hint that there are many other galaxies with other characters in them (Smash Bros. set up). Fox helps Mario and co. get back to their galaxy and then Mario/Luigi/Princess/Rosalina all beat Bower/Bowser Jr. and stop the galaxies from collapsing. 

Easy peasy. 

The galaxy plot device lends itself to parallel worlds with other characters (Samus, Kirby, Pitt, Olimar, Pikachu) easy enough though even the first Mario movie could have set this up with the idea of underground pipes that lead to different worlds.
