Just shy of Mar. 10
Nintendo has announced a newSuper Mario Bros. MovieDirect, which will host the final trailer for the animated film. This Direct will air on March 9 at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT.
The stream is beinghosted on Nintendo’s channels, and will specifically focus on the final trailer. Nintendo notes in the description:
“Join us at 2:00 p.m. PT on 3/9 for the world premiere of The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s final trailer! No game information will be included in this#NintendoDirect.”
Bad news for anyMariogame hopefuls out there, I suppose. But hey, it looks like we’ll get a good glimpse of what’s in store for this animatedMarioadaptation.
The trailer image does tease many of the central characters, including Mario, Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong, racing along the Rainbow Road. And I’d pump the brakes if I were Mario, because that Blue Shell is coming in hot.

The Super Mario Bros. Movieispretty well lined-upfor its April premiere, which isn’t all that far off. This animated version of the Mushroom Kingdom looks to put its own spin on the story, with Mario as an isekai’d plumber transported into the wild, wild world of theMariogames.
And honestly, it’s looked pretty alright throughmost of the trailers. Chris Pratt’s Mario voice is one thing, but I’d spend the movie theater ticket price just to see more of Jack Black’s Bowser. It really does seem like produciton studio Illumination ishaving fun digging back through the yearsof the Mario franchise, too.
At the very least, I’m hopeful for an entertaining romp that’s light-hearted, got some good gags, and isn’t over three hours long. Seriously, that’s become my least-favorite trend in blockbuster movies lately.The Super Mario Bros. Moviepremieres on April 7.
