[@ClonedGamer001]

Pedro Pascal delivering the most brooding and serious "It's-a-me" is not something I knew I needed in my life

[@senorita-qh6bm]

It was so good this skit is iconic

[@moeanderson7447]

I'll say 2nd..the comic strip like this from Years back when Mario took out the enemies as they surrounded him (he did it to cover Luigi ) and then u see the explosion from.the top of the green pipe...I was like now that's gangsta

[@kimfr_]

Damn it sent chills down my spine 🥶🥶🥶

[@i.d.9754]

Never knew you needed and never could imagine living without it now

[@stereotypespecialist]

It's like if Pedro used Christian Bale's batman voice for Mario. "IT'SSS A MEEEE....MARIOOOOO!!!!" :)

[@Dickie844]

The acceptance of the red shell is the most realistic thing about this trailer

[@enriquecomas933]

Mario - why you hold onto that BANANA!!! (seeing Toad's car explode from behind)

[@zman7357]

nah, a well timed boost or cut somebody off before it hits you.

[@burger_kinghorn]

The 11th hour climax will be saving the day with a blue shell right when Bowser thinks he's crossing the finish line.

How in the hell did they make such a high quality trailer in one week!? Whoever worked on this deserves a massive raise, this was incredible.

What if they already earn what they deserve, do you still want them to get a massive raise? ;-)

@@reeanimationgaming1034 yes because we both know they aren’t earning what they’re worth.

[@SebBrosig]

Working conditions in the VFX industry are harsh as studios are working to prevent that part to organise. That's part of the reason why they can afford to make an amazing piece like this for SNL. Also, this is of course orders of magnitude cheaper than the "real" VFX that goes into cinematic projects, because the subtle honing of fine details is what makes it real hard, and stuff like this is always a bit rough on the edges.

[@DanRyanCarter]

@@reeanimationgaming1034 are the artists determining what they deserve in this scenario or the bosses? Either way, the answer is yes I want them to get a raise. Gotta support the arts.

when i first saw thumbnail for this trailer i didnt see it was snl and thought pedro pascal as mario in mk64 on hbo was gonna be the dopest show in 20 years

[@chestersakamoto6843]

What made this so amazing is that Pedro gave 110% and played it dead serious. That "It's-a me, Mario" was perfection. 😆

They do it for laughs but it looks better than a lot of shows they release these days. Plus Pedro Pascal as Mario got me in awe. I can' unsee it now.

[@ashleyhoughton8592]

I would watch the shit out of this.

[@coolremedy6969]

I think that's kind of the joke. It's basically making fun of Neil Druckman and saying calling him a master storyteller is akin to calling the Mario Kart "writers" master storytellers. They're saying that if you make something look grungy and badass and cast Pedro people will eat it up. It's funny, but I don't agree with it.
