Nintendo dribbled a small but wildly important date for fans of the Paper Mario series and sidescrolling Mario adventures in general: April 9, 2007. Not only does it mark the one week panic point before taxes are due, it also signifies the North American release date of Super Paper Mario, the GameCube-turned-Wii platformer that breeds 2-and 3-D perspectives together in a delightfully paper-like universe. Now, Nintendo could have simply stuck the date by the box art and called it a day, but instead we get a formal invitation to... well... see below:

nintendo of america Requests the Pleasure of Your Company at the Marriage of

Peach
to
Bowser

on the 9th Day of April 2007

The nuptials will take place at the beginning of Super Paper Mario™, which will be available for Nintendo's hot new Wii™ home video game system. Those who wish to attend - or thwart - the ceremony will need to switch between 2-D and 3-D.

Consider my calendar marked.
