[translator] -Hello, everyone! I'm Shigeru Miyamoto
from Nintendo. Today, I'm excited
for you all to see
the third and final trailer for
The Super Mario Brothers Movie. By the way,
do you know what March 10th is? If you write out the date
in English, it looks like this. OK, do you see it? It can be read as "MARIO". That's why many fans
call it the Day of Mario, otherwise known as Mario Day. We thought this da
y
would be perfect
for releasing the final trailer, so that's why we chose it
this time around. Due to time differences,
it's the day before
in some regions, but I hope you'll enjoy it
all the same. On this special day,
I'm joined once again
by Chris Meledandri. Hello, Chris-san! [Chris Meledandri]
-Thank you, Miyamoto-san. After six years of work, Nintendo and Illumination
have finally wrapped
post-production on
The Super Mario Brothers Movie. Now, nearly 600 people
worked on this film, from ou
r animators in France
to the Nintendo team in Japan, and our Illumination team
here in the United States. And it pushed the technical
and artistic capabilities
of our studio to new heights. Anyone from anywhere at any age can find something to love
in this film. But I know the people
watching this Direct
are gonna love it the most. After the trailer,
I've asked our directors Aaron Horvath
and Michael Jelenic
to share a few insights, so please stick around for that. But first, let's say hello
to
our cast. [everyone]
-Hey Nintendo Direct! [Charlie Day] -Happy Mario Day!
It's exciting to be here
with you all to celebrate the Mario Brothers.
[Chris Pratt] -And don't forget
Luigi is a Mario Brother too. So, don't be afraid to celebrate
the green man if you choose to. -I really appreciate
you saying that! -Well, that's what
on-screen brothers are for. [Seth Rogan] -And if you choose
to celebrate Donkey Kong,
that is also acceptable. [Keegan-Michael Key] -Or Toad.
-Yeah, well no, it's Mario D
ay,
not DK Day. -So let me get this straight.
It's OK to celebrate Luigi
on Mario Day but not DK or Toad? -It's Mario Day! You know,
Luigi's a Mario Brother, so... -I don't know Charlie,
it feels a little bit unfair. -Ah, come on!
Can Luigi get some shine
just once, you know? Back me up here, Chris! Right?
-I'm gonna stay out of this. Uh, let's go to Anya and Jack! [Anya Taylor-Joy]
-Hello again Nintendo Direct.
[Jack Black] -Anya and I are here together
to prove that, despite
our on-screen diff
erences, we're actually
totally cool in real life.
-Yeah, absolutely. We're so cool, in fact,
that Anya has agreed to officially proclaim this day
as Bowser Day 2023. That's right,
Mario Day is canceled.
You're welcome. -Um, I never agreed to that. -Could we cut that part
where she disagrees? -Please, don't cut that part. -Come on. Bowser Day!
It's awesome! [translator]
-Alright everyone, relax! Let's agree that Mario Day
is for everyone. This is the first time
Charlie-san and Keegan-san have ap
peared
in a Nintendo Direct, and their performances
of Luigi and Toad are perfect. OK!
Let's press the START Button
on the final trailer! [music ends] [mysterious orchestral music]
[Luigi yelling] [Luigi]
-Where am I? [Luma giggles]
[Luma] -Oooh, fresh meat
for the grinder! [Penguin King]
-Pay him no heed.
He is cute but he is, [cuckoo whistle]
-There's gotta be
a way outta here. -There's no escape.
The only hope is the
sweet relief of death. [music pauses]
[everyone]
-Whoa! -Oh, you've
go
t to be kidding me!
[Luma giggles] [epic orchestral music] [Bowser]
-My army! Koopas! Goombas! Whatever those things are! [music pauses]
-Aw... [epic orchestral music returns]
-We will destroy
the Mushroom Kingdom! [Bowser's army cheers] [Peach]
-Bowser is coming. [Mario]
-I'm not afraid. I'll do anything for my brother. [Peach]
-We're going to save him. -Yah!
[cheery synth jingle] [Donkey Kong]
-Yes! Fire!
-Ha-ha! [music intensifies]
-You asked for it!
-This is fun! [Peach]
-Here...
we...
[music pauses] go!
-Attack! [epic music returns]
[character yelling] -Let's end this!
[music building] [Mario yelling] [music pauses]
[Mario fighting sounds] [intense epic music returns] -Ha-ha! [music ends] [cheery synth music returns]
[translator]
-What did you all think? Today, we'll also hear
from Aaron and Michael, the directors of this movie. Aaron-san! Michael-san! [both]
-Hello Nintendo Direct! [Aaron Horvath]
-I'm Aaron Horvath. [Michael Jelenic]
-And I'm Michael Jelenic.
And we'r
e honored to be the directors of
The Super Mario Brothers Movie. We wanted to take a second
to talk about that Rainbow Road
footage you just saw. -In Mario Kart, Rainbow Road
isn't just beautiful to look at; it's also one of the
least forgiving courses
in the game. [Aaron Horvath] -As superfans
of the Mario universe,
we wanted to recreate that same sense of danger
and epic scale
on the big screen. -We also brought in artists
who specialize in vehicle design and worked closely
with the
team at Nintendo
to create some new karts that felt organic
to the Jungle Kingdom while still inspired
by the iconic game designs. -Our passionate artists
outdid themselves
in the execution. [Michael Jelenic]
-We improved our lighting
and rendering technology to elevate this movie
beyond anything Illumination
has ever done. -We're excited
for how this came out and can't wait for you
to experience it in theaters
April 5th. -Back to you, Miyamoto-san! [translator]
-Thank you Aaron-san
an
d Michael-san! As Chris-san confirmed earlier, post-production is finally done,
and the movie is complete! It releases next month,
and currently, it's being localized
for different countries. Some regions have already
started selling advance tickets. I hope you'll
go to a movie theater
with family and friends and cheer for Mario's team. For those in the US,
I have one more thing to share. For Mario Day,
we recreated the boots
that Mario wears in the movie. They'll be displayed
at Nintendo New Yo
rk
starting March 10th, so if you have a chance
to stop by, please do
take a look at them! Please look forward to
The Super Mario Brothers Movie!
