The Super Mario Galaxy Movie promotion continues with a Super Bowl ad reminding everyone it’s just months away and going to hit big when it comes. How big are we talking? If this teaser and the first trailer are any indication, Nintendo and Illumination are thinking as big as the universe.
After showing off Yoshi in the last trailer, the movie also released another short tease that puts a spotlight on the film’s action and new worlds. The first is a riff on the T-Rex moment from Super Mario Odyssey, with Yoshi and Toad trying to protect baby versions of Luigi and Mario from a massive dino. But Universal also released a broader advert over the weekend that gives us a bit more.
Like the ad says, there’s a big galaxy out there, and if you thought the last movie was good-looking, Illumination’s really upped their game for the sequel. We’ve previously seen the film’s version of the Sand Kingdom (from Super Mario Odyssey), where Mario and Luigi find Luigi. This new spot gives us another new location in a massive cyberpunk city Peach and Toad visited that also includes a bar full of classic Mario enemies.
Finally, we get a look at Yoshi doing what he’s best known for: swallowing enemies and spitting them out as eggs. Seeing it in movie form is kind of gross and funny, and your kids are sure to love it when The Super Mario Galaxy movie hits theaters on Wednesday, April 1.
