The theatre at 309 Rathburn Rd. W. is one of a small number of Canadian cinemas picked for the demonstrations, INsauga reported on Tuesday.

Visitors can try selected single-player and multiplayer games on the Nintendo Switch 2, the company's hybrid console that can be played handheld or connected to a TV through a dock. Among the featured titles is a remastered bundle of the classic Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

About the movie
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opens in theatres across North America on April 1. It follows the 2023 hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie, with Chris Pratt returning as the voice of Mario and Charlie Day as Luigi.
The April demo dates fall on the film's first weekend in theatres, so moviegoers heading to a screening at Square One can stop at the booth before or after the show.
