Interestingly, in reality, he has succeeded in warming his way into the hearts of fans, following his performance in “The Mandalorian,” and HBO’s upcoming hit prestige hit “The Last of Us.”
But fans have not merely seen the last of Pascal. The actor shocked them with his recent on-screen performance. As many await the trailer release of “The Last of Us,” SNL shows Mario Kart in a parody version, and this Pedro Pascal’s HBO video game has amassed quite a reputation.

SNL Shows Mario Kart in Pedro Pascal’s HBO Video Game
SNL shows Mario Kart in human form ahead of the animated film. Pascal only teased fans on what to expect from his “The Last of Us.” In the prerecorded Pedro Pascal’s HBO video game, the actor was spotted as the famous Italian dressed in his signature attire— a red hat, faded dungarees, and red shirt.
After announcing “it’s a-me, Mario,” the following scenes shocked the audience even more. This time he was not heading for a cure with actress Bella Ramsey. Instead, he had been made to journey with Princess Peach on Rainbow road. It was impossible to make it on foot because of the evil Bouncer (Bowser) so they opted for a Kart.
As the parody progressed, the duo were seen riding in a kart, with the fake Mario Kart hinting that they needed supporters. Soon, Yoshi, Toad, and Luigi were introduced to the scene. They were termed the “Dramatic HBO characters.”
Pedro Pascal’s HBO Video Game Idea from A Production Based On a Video Game
Originally “The Last of Us” was a video game, and just last month, HBO premiered a series with the same title, releasing weekly episodes.
Following the nod from fans, the showrunners pushed for a second season in the same month as its first release, and fans can not wait for the post-apocalyptic drama to return.
