You should know, I’m on a real Mario kick right now. With the recent release of Super Mario Galaxy 2, not to mention E3 with all the other great returning classic platform heroes, I just want to play video games all day. But such desires of the id are played down and subdued, only to be lived out in my fantasies while I watch video game related media at work.
(Nah, I’m working, honestly… with a little peep here and there.)
So anyway, I got a real kick out of this:
Teppei Okada has the right idea. If I could even remotely play violin, this is exactly what I’d do, too.
While I’m at it, here are a few more Mario videos I’m liking the hell out of. SPOILERS: Mario dies at the end of all these videos. (Why are we all so cruel to him? But I enjoyed long-jumping him into walls in 64, if only to hear that goofy “d’oh, oooof…”)
You know how much I like Paper Mario? Well, this is real paper Mario, made out of post-its. Bored Japanese schoolkids also have the right idea!
I’ll throw in this bonus: a fun video of Super Mario Galaxy mashed up with Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Fits oddly well!
I hope that person does a similar video with Galaxy 2.
There’s no shortage of videos like these, but I can’t get enough of them. Mario continues to inspire!
