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"[1][2]
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.[3]
