The music featured in this advertisement for Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door is "You're So Cool" composed by Hans Zimmer and used in the film True Romance.

On June 12 a suit was filed by Morgan Creek Productions against Nintendo, claiming they used the song without proper authorization.

Later on June 18 Morgan Creek officially dropped the lawsuit. Nintendo released a statement and said they had the rights to use the song all along...

"The lawsuit alleged copyright infringement by Nintendo for its use of the song 'You're So Cool' in a Nintendo GameCube television commercial produced by advertising agency Leo Burnett USA, Inc. In response to the lawsuit, Leo Burnett provided Morgan Creek Productions with a copy of a music license entered into between Leo Burnett USA, on behalf of Nintendo of America and Morgan Creek, for licensing of the song. The lawsuit was dismissed by Morgan Creek Productions the following day."
