Last weekend, Nintendo aired a special Direct presentation for its upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is due out in cinemas this April.

This particular clip focused on Mario's pal Yoshi, who will join the crew in this new adventure, which takes place across all sorts of familiar locations. To celebrate this big reveal, Nintendo and Illumination have now released a new promotional poster, and it looks absolutely stunning.

In case you missed it, here's a look. As you can see, it shows Mario actually riding Yoshi:

This follows a promotional poster released in November last year featuring Mario and Luigi in what appeared to be the Sand Kingdom from Super Mario Odyssey. This looks to be the same location in the new trailer where Yoshi is discovered.

If you haven't already seen the new trailer, be sure to check it out in our previous post. This latest update from Nintendo and Illumination also notes how the movie's release date has shifted "in the US and many additional markets globally" and is now releasing at the very beginning of April.

What are your first impressions of the movie version of Yoshi a few days later? Let us know in the comments.
