The Super Mario Bros. Movie is set to be huge for Nintendo, with fans across the world both hardcore and casual alike seemingly excited to see what the minds at Nintendo and Illumination have in store for the Italian plumber. Ahead of the film’s premiere on the 7th of April, Nintendo has announced a Direct dedicated to the upcoming film, giving us a look at its final trailer.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Nintendo page said “Join us at 2:00 p.m. PT [10 p.m. UK Time] on [the 9th of March] for the world premiere of The Super Mario Bros. Movie's final trailer! No game information will be included in this #NintendoDirect.”

Alongside the announcement Nintendo released another bit of promotional art for the film, showing a bunch of characters drifting along a bright and colourful Rainbow Road as they are being chased by a Blue Shell.

While we have already seen a decent amount from the film, it would be good to get a deeper look at how the world itself works. Of course, we have already been treated to a litany of easter eggs and references to the Mario franchise, but it would be good to get a story-focused trailer which shows off the logic of the world a bit more. We will have to wait and see when the Direct goes live on the 9th of March.
