Super Mario Just Moved to NYC

Like so many immigrants and mustachioed hipsters before him, Mario has finally made the jump to New York City. In Super Mario Odyssey, the first game on Nintendo’s upcoming Switch platform to star everyone’s favorite plumber, Mario can be found hopping, twirling, and stomping through “New Donk City,” which is what it sounds like if you say “New York City” while eating a giant cannoli.

A trailer for Super Mario Odyssey released on Thursday shows Mario exploring a world far removed from the Mushroom Kingdom. He leaps on taxi cabs and swings from traffic lights. There’s not a Koopa Troopa in sight, unless, presumably, he heads to Times Square. Judging from the trailer, it’s not heavy on authentic local landmarks—but by the time the Switch is released in March, all those things you like will have been redeveloped anyway. By appearances, it’s easily the best New York-themed Nintendo tie-in since 1993’s Super Mario Bros., notable for its command performances and excelsior cameos.
