Weekend Palate Cleanser: Super Mario Galaxy Spec Ad

As many gamers are probably aware, the New Super Mario Bros. for Wii gets its world-wide release tomorrow, and Nintendo is having at least one big launch shindig in Manhattan today, according to Kotaku (we can't find any word on something similar locally...). Only because we grew up with Mario, and because this time-and-space spanning spec commercial for Super Mario Galaxy inexplicably chokes us up, we thought we'd share. It edits together the many incarnations of the little guy in blue overalls, set to a soundtrack by Sigur Ros.
