  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie unveils a 15-second Big Game Spot featuring new footage and Baby Mario antics
  • The spot offers a glimpse of Baby Mario, first seen in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island in 1995
  • Classic elements like Yoshi and a cameo from a T-Rex add to the nostalgic appeal in the new teaser

We got a little more footage from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for the big game, and it's not much, but it does show off some characters who have been running around for a while. Baby Mario made his first game appearance in 1995 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. So while they might be leaning into the concept from the 2009 game, we're still bringing in some very classic concepts like Yoshi and Baby Mario. We have a brief 15-second Big Game Spot featuring some Baby Mario shenanigans and a T-Rex.
