This is honestly a pretty cool way to promote the movie, especially if they are airing this during the super bowl. Also, I always have found it really interesting how the Super Show has continued to stick around, especially since Nintendo seems to want to completely ignore or hide most outside media from that era (Hotel Mario, Movie, etc.).

Oh God, they nailed that “awkward local commercial” vibe.

If you go to the website and click on the phone number at the top, it plays the GameCube theme in the style of dialing a phone

Oh man, I love this! Great callback with the Mario show theme.

yes Yes YES! A thousand times YES!

This is a really sweet trick for including the iconic 2D Mario designs in the film. I like how the brothers are introduced as actual New York City plumbers before delving into a fantastical world.

That squint and shrug when she reads the cue cards at the end always get’s me.

The absolute second that song registered in my head I teared up and felt 10 years old again.
Well done.

The fact they acknowledged the Super Show, something Nintendo tries to pretend doesn’t exist, gives me hope this movie might actually be good and not a bunch of “So that just happened…” quips.

The website goes to an actual spoof website with broken images and pretty funny testimonials.

It’s the [same theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX_jGiYYnq8) from the 1989 cartoon

Looking for a Captain Lou easter egg.

Please don’t suck. Please don’t suck. Please don’t suck.
By the way, have they changed Mario’s design? I swear I haven’t seen any more of his neck ever since the first trailer.
Pretty happy they’re embracing their origin as literal plumbers from Brooklyn. Deep lore.
Nostalgia is insane. They know how to get people to watch bro
The fact that people don’t know that Mario is an Isekai is hilarious.
Guys… I’m starting to let myself believe this movie might actually be good… send help.
Ok…..they got me. I’m fully on board now.
WOW THEY ACTUALLY USED THE OPENING OF THE SUPER MARIO BROS SUPER SHOW,
SO NOSTALGIC!!!
MY EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS MOVIE ARE VERY HIGH
That New York accent! /CHEF’S KISS!
Is the girl in the commercial played by Peach from the Super Show?
Tapping the manhole cover under the van on the website reveals an new promo image
the website is ADORABLE. And calling the number is cute too. “House? Condo? …Mansion?” So good.
Do the Mario!
I like how the website has all negative reviews except for one from their mother
Oh my god they fucking did it. The madmen actually refrenced the super show!
Edit: And the phone call refrences Luigi’s Mansion. This is too fucking cool!
You have no idea how happy this makes me.
Could someone post the audio when you call the number, please and thanks?
They used *both* pronunciations of “Mario” so no one is left out!
I think we can hopefully dispel any doubt that they’re phoning this movie in, at this point.
If you click the missing icon on the reviews section, it actually redirects you to a 404 error page
I cannot believe they used the super show theme. Is this real?
The website has some easter eggs. If you’re too lazy to find them, here they are:
