I have met him a few times over the years. He frequents E3 (I spoke with him three years in a row there) and when I worked at Westwood Studios, he came in for a personal tour of the offices. He is an extremely cool guy and has always been very friendly to my obvious starstruckness.
This commercial is great and very sweet.

Important Follow-up

That, my friend, is someone mimicking the sound that comes from scratching a record.>> ^spaceisbig:

So putting aside how corny the whole thing is, wtf is that noise in the song at about 0:20?

Click through to the game, it's a clever Zelda/Final Fantasy Parody.

Some proof I'm a nerd:

He plays "Epona's Song" on his guitar, the song you use to summon your horse in Zelda: Ocarina of Time, to make the motorcycle pop in.

Some of these are blatantly obvious, but I wanted to compile a list of the references, parodies and tributes in the video.

@0:14 "What's with the masks? You guys shy?" probably refers to Shyguys, one of the basic enemies in SMB2.
@0:36 "Enough [coins] to buy 10,000 new lives." refers to the free life you would receive for each 100 coins you collected.
@0:56 "Well excuuuse me, princess!" is from the Legend of Zelda cartoon.
@1:01 "...Bowser, the king of the koopas." If I remember correctly, Bowser didn't get his name until SMB3. He was known only as "King Koopa" in SMB1.
@1:13 "Minus World"
@1:16 "Shit just got real" and the camera work are a scene from Bad Boys 2.
@1:25 "Here's the cash, you reptile." refers to Bowser being a giant turtle in the games. The scene being set in a dinosaur exhibit may be a reference to the real Super Mario Bros movie where the villain (Dennis Hopper) was actually some sort of evolved dinosaur.
@1:30 "Your princess is in another castle." is the infamous line uttered by every toadstool upon being rescued at the end of each world.
@1:38 "It's a trap!"
@2:16 "Now you're playing with power" was the tagline for the original Nintendo.
@3:40 The music Mario is whistling is part of the overworld and underwater themes from Super Mario World. I want to say I remember it being in SMB3, but I can't find or remember where.
@3:52 "It'sa me, Mario!" was something of a catchphrase of Mario's for a while. The cartoon was the first place I can remember hearing it.

What have I missed? I suspect there's a lot of movie references that I didn't catch.
