Hidden in plain sight among the throngs of people crowding Best Buy for a PlayStation 5, Mario was found checking out with one of the coveted consoles. Of course he was wearing a mask. He's a conscientious member of society.
In the hours that have elapsed since the Nintendo Direct last night, Mario has had a time of it. Honestly, if I'd been told that the movie about my life has cast Chris Pratt in the starring role, I would feel a number of emotions. Most of them being negative.
In Illumination's upcoming Mario movie, Pratt will be joined by Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. Stop this reality, I want to get off.

Really, Mario's just like you and me. In the rush to snap up a PlayStation 5 from Best Buys across the United States of America, the plumber took a trip from the Mushroom Kingdom to our world to try his luck.
JayTechTV on Twitter took this photo of a customer checking out with a PlayStation 5 in the enormous Mario costume and it swiftly did the rounds on social media. This person is also wearing a mask, so points for that. He's got a trench coat over the top of the overalls and an extra large pair of spectacles on, too, which led to some speculating that they were trying to create a Clark Kent air about themselves.

It's a ridiculous choice of attire, but it's ridiculous that it's still such an undertaking to buy a PlayStation 5 one year on from the console's launch. So I suppose it dovetails appropriately.
The untitled new Mario movie is expected to release on December 21st, 2022, and it will undoubtedly have a tie-in at Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Japan. It's a glorious experience and a must for all Mario fans, so get the scoop on the park in our review right here.
