Super Mario Bros. Au Naturale
So you want to play the original Super Mario Bros. but you don’t have an NES, an emulator, or any of the other millions of iterations of the game that came out for every single Nintendo console and hand-held ever made? Well, then you can do what this guy did — all you need is some construction paper, a pair of scissors, an immense amount of talent and patience, and… uh… a full orchestra. Yikes.
Can anyone tell if this guy got World 1-1 exactly right? Like, the correct number of bricks between pipes and everything? I kind of think he did, but I’m unwilling to check to make sure, as I’m genuinely scared of what the answer might be. Thanks to Jeremiah for the tip!
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
