Universal Supercharges The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with a Galactic Super Bowl Teaser
The highly-anticipated Super Mario Galaxy movie is just months away from hitting theaters, and it's getting bigger by the day. To ramp up excitement for the film, Universal released an epic 60-second teaser during last weekend's Super Bowl broadcast, showcasing stunning visuals and thrilling action sequences that hint at a universe of epic proportions.
The teaser kicks off with a nod to one of the most iconic moments in gaming history – the T-Rex from Super Mario Odyssey. This time around, Yoshi and Toad are front and center, defending baby versions of Luigi and Mario from a massive, dino-sized threat. But that's just a taste of what's to come.
Next up is a broader, more expansive advert that reveals an entirely new world: a cyberpunk city, complete with neon-lit skyscrapers and a bustling bar full of classic Mario baddies. The visuals are breathtaking, with Illumination pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a live-action/CGI hybrid.
Perhaps most thrilling, however, is the chance to see Yoshi doing what he does best: swallowing enemies and spitting them out as eggs. It's a look we've seen before in animated films, but here it's played for laughs – making this movie a potential treat for kids (and adults) of all ages.
With The Super Mario Galaxy Movie set to hit theaters on April 1st, this teaser is sure to generate even more buzz around the film. One thing's certain: if this is any indication of what's in store, Nintendo and Illumination are thinking BIG – and we can't wait to see it all come together on the big screen.
