How do you rate the current Doctor Who theme? Similar but a little bit different? Imagine how it might sound if it was played using Mario Paint. Actually, you don’t have to imagine any longer. Thanks to the talented Levus28 we can now all sit back and enjoy Mario Paint being used to play the […]
Mario inspires Coldplay
Have you noticed the Mario musical influence in Coldplay? No? It’s totally there. The start of Viva La Vida is in fact a version of the Star Power theme. I have proof. Convinced?
Donkey Kong + Jenga = Donkey Kong Jenga
I don’t think Vat19 always hit the nail on the head but they’ve certainly done it with Donkey Kong Jenga. Such a simple idea and so ace. You know Jenga – try and remove blocks from a tower, without being the one who sends the whole thing crashing down. You know Donkey Kong – avoid […]
Super Mario Bros do Red Dead Redemption
Going to treat yourself to the zombie DLC for Red Dead Redemption for this Halloween? Maybe? Here’s an alternative – the Super Mario Bros of Red Dead Redemption!
Play Mario with your face
Isn’t tech wonderful? Haven’t you always wanted to play Mario with your face? What? No? How can you say that? Don’t you want to make that plumber jump just by looking up? Oh, okay… so maybe you’re not keen but maybe you’d like to know how Eye Mario works? If you do; watch on!
Super Mario pavement animation
This is pretty cool – and I’m not even sure how they did it; let’s just say ‘cgi’ and speculate no further. Surfap has animated the first level of Super Mario Bros in, well, a guttery 3D effect. There seems to be a bit of a Mario rush in recent weeks. Can we get enough […]

Nintendo to produce Mario playing cards
Nintendo – which began life making cards and dominoes – will be releasing some Mario Trump cards and Mario playing cards. As it turns out they’ve sent some bloggers and media some early copies. Now, thanks to andriasang and Anoop Gantayat we’ve got some good photos of what some of the playing card options look […]
Nintendo characters in beads stop-motion animation
Created by Eric Odmyar and accompanied by very NES-like but still funky music from Bunnymajs is this clever piece of bead animation. Through the simple but painstaking progress of moving hama plastic beads around on a grid Eric has expertly animated characters from Super Mario Bros, Mega Man and the Legend of Zelda. Well worth […]
Mario in a Michelangelo Nintendo mashup
Some artists are not only blessed with great artistic talent. Some artists have geek insight and cunning. Step forward Kordian Lewandowski. “Game over” is carved from polystyrene foam and based on Michelangelo’s Jesus and Mary. Yes, Mario is Jesus and the Princess is Mary. I’m sure someone will complain about that. (Hat tip to Design […]
