Spanish a💫nd pianist Elesky seems to have found a buried Super Mario Bros. Easter egg in the Nintendo Switch 2's reveal trailer &ndꦓash; you just have to slow it down, reverse it, and listen with all your might.
"Have you heard these references in the Nintendo Switch 2 trailer?" , according to our translation with help from DeepL. "[Nintendo] showed us a little bit of music, and at the beginning of the trailer, this is what happened." Elesky plays a snippet of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the Switch 2 trailer, where what sounds like a marimba trills.
"This wasn't chosen by chance," Elesky continues. "This sound appears in many Super Maꩲrio games when you pres🍎s pause. They are the notes E, C. These notes are also iconic because they are the first notes played in the main theme of Super Mario Bros."
Though, the warble in the Swi🌳tch 2 trailer is both deeper than Super Mario's recognizable chirrup, and it's missing that motif's triumphant ending Sol, or the noಌte G.
But Elesky wonders if the missing G could be a secret, too. She notices that th🏅e Switch 2 trailer includes the sound of a piano key being hit in reverse, so she reverses it again, and finds a sparkly C major chord – the notes C, E, and G. After, the Switch 2 clicks into place in a G-like way.
"If you're not convinced by this," Elesky continues, "the So is the first൲ note that plays in the trailer. Now we have all the notes."
What do you think – is the Super Mario theme camouflaged by the 🃏clacks, snaps, and happy flourishes of the Nintendo Switch 2 trailer? Personally, I believe Nintendo needs to give us aܫll some more to work with.
