Hello there, big T-Rex!! 🦖 Universal Pictures and Illumination also revealed a very short and funny TV spot for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie during the Super Bowl. It’s only 15 seconds and features the same big dinosaur seen the most recent promos along with the video game green dino Yoshi. This is Illumination & Nintendo’s all-out animated sequel to the first epic The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023. A few weeks back, they revealed a teaser trailer introducing more characters, turning Yoshi into the highlight of their marketing push. In this sequel, Mario ventures into space, exploring cosmic worlds and tackling galactic challenges far from the familiar Mushroom Kingdom. The main voice actors include Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek. The very first trailer debuted in November last year and it keeps looking better. Just another fun promo spot to enjoy before this hits theaters in April soon.

Here’s the Roar Super Bowl TV spot for Illumination’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, on YouTube:
