After San Diego and New York, where else can Nintendo go to spread the word about Super Mario 3D Land? How about Austin, Texas?
On 7th November Nintendo will take a host of Tanooki Marios to the Republic Square Park in Austin, TX for an impromptu (as in "extremely rehearsed") performance of a surprise nature. Still hoping for the Macarena.
AUSTIN ON ALERT FOR MASS MARIO SIGHTING AT REPUBLIC SQUARE PARK ON NOV. 7
Consumers Enjoy a Surprise Performance to Celebrate Upcoming Launch of Super Mario 3D Land Game
WHAT: Be on the look-out in your city for dozens of Marios dressed in Tanooki ears and tails to celebrate the upcoming launch of the Super Mario 3D Land™game for the Nintendo 3DS™hand-held system.

Awesome. I can't wait.
They need to do more stuff like this in Washington state. I mean after all, NOA is based here.
Why can't this come to the uk?
Why! I am a really big Mario fan and I love Mario games but its really depressing to know that I cant go to this! What do these people have against Chicago were I live! Chicago is a pretty big city? I really want to go to this! =(
I just noticed the shadow in the above image.
Detroit next!
"Will you be there?"
Unfortunately not, I live in Alabama, and Nintendo would never show something like this to an Alabama city....
Baltimore, Maryland perhaps? Or YashaTheSlayer's idea.
Yay! Texas gets some love!
Agree with everyone that says this should come to Chicago.
If this were Dallas or New Orleans, I would probably make the trip. Texas is a huge state and Austin is simply on the wrong side. Shreveport, La is the right size to have shops for everything, but no major events ever happen here.
Sweet, not too far from me. Hope it offers more StreetPass opportunities.
Come to the UK please Mario and friends.
I saw 20+ matching Super Mario's walking down Congress avenue this morning with moustaches and big fluffy tails. Now I know what it was all about!
p.s. what kind of comment spell checker doesn't know the correct spelling of "moustache"?
@SuperAustinite: We don't have a 'comment spell checker'...? what you're probably seeing is your own browser's built-in spellcheck. I'm sure you can turn it off in your browser's options if it bothers you. :3
Well, shoot. I missed it.
