- A series of videos titled Super Mario: Guess the Game! was published on Nintendo Today! starting from September 14, 2025. The videos have viewers guess a Super Mario game from three clips from the game (each progressively making the game more obvious).

The balloon features Mario doing a flying pose inspired by the one he does after being launched by a Launch Star in Super Mario Galaxy.[9]
