At the end of the second Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer, Mario and co. took to Rainbow Road in karts and bikes, referencing Mario Kart. A new visual shared by Nintendo about The Super Mario Bros. movie trailer featured Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Toad, and even Cranky Kong on Rainbow Road. A few iconic items made it on the track as well, like the infamous Blue Shell and Bob-omb.
This isn’t the only reference to Mario games outside of the Super Mario Bros. series – Super Smash Bros. was shown off in the second trailer as Donkey Kong won a quick match against Mario.
The last Nintendo Direct centered around The Super Mario Bros. Movie included appearances from cast members Anya Taylor Joy and Seth Rogen, the voices behind Princess Peach and Donkey Kong respectively. Nintendo didn’t comment about what else will be included during the March 9 Nintendo Direct, but fans can tune in and watch the YouTube live stream.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be released on April 7, 2023, in the United States.
