Video: ‘SUPER MARIO BROS’ comes to life via 7,000 post-it notes. Not green; certainly awesome.
Goddamn! Super Mario Bros. brought to life courtesy of a real, real, real, real lot of post-it notes. Bravo.
PLAYABLE: Each Level of ‘SUPER MARIO BROS’ Condensed To One Screen
Super Mario Summary is pretty fantastic. It takes each level from the original Super Mario Bros and condenses it down to one screen, and is totally playable right on your browser.
Behold the power right here | A SUPER MARIO SUMMARY
Kickstarter Seeks Money For LEGO BRICKS To Make SUPER MARIO BROS. WORLD 1-1. C’mon Internet.
We got this one guys, we got this one. Let us band together and unleash an insane amount of money ($26,000) so some artist lad can recreate Super Mario Bros. World 1-1 with LEGO bricks. This is what we have been practicing wasting our money over the years for. The grand summation of frivolity.
NINTENDO Showing MARIO Game For the ‘Wii U’ At E3
Nintendo is going to launch their next console sensibly, which is to say with a Mario game. They’ll be showing it at this year’s E3, and I totally can’t wait. Okay, I can wait. Can you?
Video: Subway Super Mario Bros. Lightens The Commute
Gypsy Joe Trane laid down some classic Super Mario Bros. riffage on the R-train heading towards Manhattan, inspiring a sullen-looking appreciation from all the passengers aboard. Me? I would have been inappropriately booty-popping writhing on the nostalgia python.

Poster: They Live x Super Mario Bros. = OMFG 1980s Bliss.

Face of a Franchise: Izzza Mario!
[face of a franchise presents two individuals that’ve fulfilled the same role. your task — choose the better of the two and defend your choice in the rancor pit that is the comments section]
One of the most celebrated rites of passage in the Nerd Realm is engaging in the Greatest Hero debate. Would Luke Skywalker’s Jedi powers confound John McClane, or would he manage to best Tattooine’s favorite farmboy even after getting an arm chopped off? How fast can Neo read universal code if Professor X is mind-molesting him? Can Wolverine’s healing factor work quickly enough to thwart off the three-count after Hogan delivers the atomic leg drop?
Fun questions to ask, no doubt. But only in a purely academic sense. Because, if you really think about it, everyone knows who our generation’s greatest hero is.
Super Mario.
I can’t even begin to think of a hero that’s done more than Mario. Every few years he hunts down a dinosaur, beats the shit out of him, and then brings his girlfriend home to bang her out. Oh, and by the way, she’s a princess – so you know she’s packing a high-quality rump-roast. When he’s not out hunting prehistoric menaces, Mario finds enjoyment in high-octane deathraces. He gets his broke-ass brother jobs. Oh, and the muthafuggah’s got a PhD.
With such crazy credentials, it stands to reason that it takes a real boss to portray Mario. Luckily for us, we’ve been graced with performances by two absolute masters. The only problem lies in determining who did the better job.
Super Mario Bros: The Indie Movie Is Star Level.
Apparently at SXSW and other film festivals they have a bunch of “bumper” films. Minifilms that precede the screenings. Didn’t know that. Now I do. One of them showing at SXSW is “Mario” by Joe Nicolosi. Nicolosi works in a shitload of outstanding references in the framework of a trailer for an indie film version of Mario. Go ahead and watch it, you’re going to love it.
You dirty little slut.
