* AmbiguousSituation: The ''Mario Kart Super Circuit'' commercial: Is the driver of the minivan aware of what's going on? Or are the kids controlling both him and the van this whole time? That we never [[TheGhost see him]] after the first few seconds only makes it more hazy as to what's truly happening.

That we never [[TheGhost see him]] after the first few seconds only makes it more hazy as to what's truly happening. Likewise Toad and Mario's situations after getting hit by the van's powerups aren't shown in full, though the full version shows Toad possibly dying or being led to his death at the hands of some sketchy doctors.

Many of these commercials are well-known amongst American gamers. They're known for both their costumes and the pure oddity of the advertisements. Instead of being straightforward advertisements, most do the bare minimum of being related to the game being advertised in exchange for having wacky, eye-catching gags. Their most iconic ad is their ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64'' ad that starts with the roster strolling happily together in a meadow before it turns into a free-for-all brawl and is narrated by Don [=LaFontaine=] no less!.
