During a brief segment detailing how Nintendo’s new Miiverse would interact with games, The N dropped video of a new Super Mario Bros game running on the console and its tablet controller.

The game was clearly in HD, but had a much more painterly (almost Rayman Origins) aesthetic to it and its backgrounds.

The overworld segments showed branching paths and Miiverse messages popping up.

We’ll find out more about the game during the Nintendo press conference on Tuesday.
