An intrepid fan has discovered that The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate trailer syncs up perfectly with the Queen song “Don’t Stop Me Now.” The recently released “More Fighters, More Battles, More Fun” commercial originally released sans music, with just the various noises of the fighters as background noise. However, when linked up with the 1978 Queen hit from the album Jazz it seems almost impossible that the team that made this Super Smash Bros Ultimate trailer didn’t have the song in mind.

Here’s the original trailer as released by Nintendo:

Here’s the version of the Super Smash Bros. trailer synced with Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now”:

It’s not hard to tell where the song and lyrics synchronize, but we’ve put together a small list below.

“I’m a shooting star, leaping through the sky”: When the Arwing appears as a star in the background and flies towards the foreground, followed by Kirby riding a star to the ground.

When the Arwing appears as a star in the background and flies towards the foreground, followed by Kirby riding a star to the ground. “Defying the laws of gravity”: When Samus, Marth, and Pikachu jump into the air and hover for a moment.

When Samus, Marth, and Pikachu jump into the air and hover for a moment. “Like Lady Godiva”: When Isabelle turns and smiles to the camera.

When Isabelle turns and smiles to the camera. “I’m burning through the sky, yeah”: When Charizard exits the Poke Ball.

When Charizard exits the Poke Ball. “That’s why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit”: When Mega Man is charging his buster cannon.

When Mega Man is charging his buster cannon. “I’m traveling at the speed of light”: When Donkey Kong punches Captain Falcon through the air.

When Donkey Kong punches Captain Falcon through the air. “I wanna make a supersonic man out of you”: When Sonic appears on the screen.

When Sonic appears on the screen. “I’m having a ball”: When the Smash Bros. logo appears in Squid Girl’s eye.

When the Smash Bros. logo appears in Squid Girl’s eye. Directly after the lyric “If you wanna have a good time,” the trailer announcer says, “More Fighters, More Battles, More Fun.”

I’m sure there are more instances where the song syncs with the trailer, but the ones above really stood out to me as apparent links.

Whether this was done on purpose as a sort of internal easter egg by the team that made the trailer or some kind of bizarre coincidence, no one knows. It seems like we have a gaming version of the old The Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon conundrum here. Regardless of the answer, though, it’s a pretty fantastic matchup and kudos to the fan who took the time out to make the video.
