SM City North EDSA, is a Filipino shopping mall. It is regarded as the first SM Supermall in the country and the eleventh largest shopping mall in the world. In the 1990s, a commercial was made advertising the mall.

Premise

A car with its side mirror getting lower was shown then a female voice asking "Where are you going my dear?" then a male person said "I'm on my way to SM City." with the car's engine turning on. Arriving in the middle, a guy shouts "Wow!" with scenes of Food (Family Eating at the Foodcourt), Shopping (Shoppers at the Department store), Fun (inside of an arcade with a dancing mascot and kids) and Movies (people watching a movie at the cinema). In Maskman-like background music, a lady got shocked/startled then the car appeared on the cinema screen. A girl holding a popcorn looked around and scenery of SM City North EDSA was shown along with the jingle "There's Nothing Like... SM City!" with a guy ending the ad with "It's waiting for you"

The commercial is praised for its CGI depiction of the mall and it's the only commercial of the said mall at that time. In 1993, a slightly revised version was made by adding "NOW OPEN: SM City Cebu" at the end. This said to last until 1994.
