Retro Mario vs. Koopa on Ice

An amazing piece of advertising from the 80s featuring Jason Bateman and Alyssa Milano as anonymous teens and Mr. Belvedere (I mean Christopher Hewett) as Bowser. Bateman sells it as the “video prince.” Beyond the pure pop-culture joy, most fascinating to me is hearing the voices of the characters as envisioned then (real-world plumbers from Brooklyn and a hilariously provocative Princess Toadstool with obvious connections to the “real world”) and now (cartoon-like and pure fantasy). Thanks to Wired for the link.
