It’s a brand-new episode of Sketching Up — hosted by Chris Schnabel and Matt Tornetta — and we’re diving deep into the Mario Movie Sequel trailer (aka the “Galaxy” trailer) with way too many Nintendo theories. We break down the Super Mario Odyssey references, Yoshi’s Island vibes, power-ups, pipes, Baby Mario/Baby Luigi, and whether the sequel is trying to cram Mario Galaxy + Odyssey + 3D World + Yoshi into one movie.

Then we pivot into a nuclear gaming hot take: Backyard Baseball might not be as good as we remember… Plus: the wild world of retro game collecting, video game resale pricing, GameStop stories, and why nostalgia markets can get sketchy.
