Nintendo has released an incredibly surreal American TV commercial, promoting the release of the upcoming Super Mario 3D Land. The ‘Spikey Balls’ advert puts a young boy in the shoes of the portly plumber as he dashes his way through a Mario level made real:

After seeing all the crazy stuff Mario gets up to placed within a real life scenario, we’ll admit this goomba-stomping, koopa shell-throwing business is perhaps a little trickier than initially thought. Someone should give that plumber a medal.

I far prefer “Soo-Nick” to “Marr-ee-oh”!
I despise the horrendously torn up pronunciations we occasionally see. Ico is “ee-co” not “eye-co”, thank you very much.

i always pronounced it eye-co.
never heard anybody pronounce sonic that way though.
also i, and everybody i knew, used to pronounce sega as see-ga, at least until the original sonic game came out.
cam the man
wasn’t that impressed with the advert.

The advert caused me to yawn.:O It is a bit bland and hasn’t there been 3D mario games before?
