In an effort to push video content out to its consumers in the mid to late 90s, Nintendo distributed VHS tapes, often free of charge, via mail and retail outlets. These videos showcased select games and consoles in an attempt to market them to target audiences using contrived plots and over-the-top actors.
This video (part 3 of 10) presents "Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island" which Nintendo distributed in 1995. The video features the same cheesy actor from the "Donkey Kong Country Exposed" video as he goes through the World of Nintendo with a map in an effort to "explore" Yoshi's Island. Along the way, he meets various staff members of Nintendo of America and they tell him more about the game over footage of actual game play. The video has a run time of just over six minutes, which is rather short considering how much it probably cost Nintendo to produce and distribute the "Not for Resale" VHS cassettes.
