And at first glance, it may look like this is the end for this Nintendo character. The phrase “FIRE DONKEY KONG” trended on Twitter, hours after the trailer’s release.

The latest Super Mario Bros. Movie teaser lets us hear Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong for the first time. During the clip, Mario faces off against Donkey Kong in an arena of sorts — just like we’ve seen in the previous trailer — but this trailer expands on the scene. While it seems like Mario’s on the losing side of the battle, this appears to change when the titular plumber hits a question mark block, and (presumably) gets the Super Bell, transforming him into Cat Mario. Seeing Mario in his adorably fuzzy catsuit sends Donkey…
