These TV spots are how you can tell that Nintendo dropped the ball not adding and marketing online multiplayer for the game. Instead of having four people playing the game locally decked in Mushroom Kingdom themed rooms, they could have had four individual gamers sitting alone in four different rooms entering servers and starting a connection with friends. Maybe add in the process of typing in Friend Codes to really sell the product. Then show them all playing individually in their own rooms against one another.
Really it's how they should market all of their games. Online multiplayer is an industry standard and Nintendo needs to get that across, not only in their games, but in the marketing of their games.
As absurd as that actually sounded, don't forget they at least did it with two people...
