Wow, that plumber's got some moves

If you ever played Super Mario Bros 3 when you were younger, this is worth spending 11 minutes of your life on... it's simply beautiful.

I read a long, argumentative thread somewhere about how the guy who did this used an emulator and pieced the levels together until he got the perfect movie. Doesn't matter to me--the movie itself just becomes one more piece of the accomplishment.

It's probably too much information to admit that I started finding this vaguely erotic after a while... nothing special about Mario, just the skill and precision of it, and the patience/determination it obviously takes to get that good.

Edit: check out this live-action version of Super Mario Bros 1 while you're in the Mario mood. http://gorillamask.net/mariolive.shtml
