Rememeber that Simpsons Halloween episode where Homer pierces the space-time continuum and is sucked into our real world? Starting the trailer by having Mario run through a “realistic” metropolis filled with an eerily non-cartoonish mannequin-like population, doing his normal bouncy, upbeat schtick amongst the blank-stare residents of this uncanny valley evoked similarly disconcerting emotions. After a fleeting glimpse of the heroic plumber in the Switch announcement trailer, it was a pretty safe bet that Nintendo would proudly show off Mario’s latest adventure during the console’s big unveiling, but though ultimately seeing the heroic little plumber climb out of a sewer to introduce Super Mario Odyssey should have felt as natural as watching him stomp a goomba, the trailer that followed tumbled down the rabbit hole to a world more acid-trippy than anything the Mushroom Kingdom has ever produced.
