We recently reported that Nintendo and animation studio Illumination would finally be showing off a teaser of the Super Mario Bros. movie on October 6 as part of New York Comic Con. Well, Nintendo isn’t keen on letting NYCC have all the fun, as the company announced that it will be hosting a special Nintendo Direct broadcast dedicated to the film that very same day. Nintendo Direct: The Super Mario Movie presentation will begin at 1:05 PM PST on 10.06.
Tune in at 1:05 p.m. PT on 10/6 for a #NintendoDirect: The Super Mario Bros. Movie presentation introducing the world premiere trailer for the upcoming film (no game information will be featured).

Finally, in the foreground with his back to the camera is the man himself: Mario, who is looking up at the castle on the hilltop. The rendering is genuinely gorgeous—bask in its glory:
