It looks as if tough times has hit Penélope Cruz, as the Spanish actress has now resorted to wearing a moustache and dungarees in order to get work.

Okay, jokes aside, the Vanilla Sky actress is the new spokeswoman for Nintendo and features in the latest advert for New Super Mario Bros 2 for the 3DS.

The video includes Penélope, along with her younger sister Mónica, as they duel-out some sibling rivalry, through the use of two other other famous siblings, Mario and Luigi.

After losing to her sister, Penélope must don Mario’s synonymous look and live up to her part of the bet.

Although it’s somewhat silly, it’s great to see stars having some fun with video game products, as opposed to just slapping their name to it.
