Random Person made a hilarious avatar, Super Avatario, that would be fair to describe as the Bizarro equivalent of Mario (you know, Luigi's brother). With googly flexiprim eyes and an upside-down "WTF?" on his cel-shaded red cap, he's not to be confused with Wario, yet, I suspect, deserves his own unique place in the game canon.
Upon wearing him and becoming "Torio", I had to get myself to the 8-Bit Area — click here to teleport — and immediately start jumping. With classic sound effects and even a fun cover of the Mario theme in the background, it was like my childhood memories sprung forth from a new mother's loins… in 3D!
Watch the video above. And if you're on a feed reader, you'll need to click through to see it.
Here are some piccies:
Afterward, Random and I TPed to the Old School Gaming Zone, where a giant NES beckoned and I set him on fire. Since another video will really get the point across — watch in full screen to see details:
Yes, he also made a Monopoly Man avatar, which I'm intent on recoloring to become the Melonopoly Man. 
Good times!

haha! That's awesome!
That's the best thing ever!
Loveably stylized, and I rarely even play Mario. @5:23, was that some kind of double-jump? Interesting…
But @ 3:13, there's that camera indecision glitch again.
*has a headache after bashing all those bricks*
@Al: Oh, it was just using the friction of the surface I was facing… and jumping again. Nothing really special there, but it's kind of obscure.
Yeah, @ 3:13 that BUGS me. I call it "the awkward in and out" and am glad you pointed this out, because it can be hard to describe — but the video does not lie! <.<
Hi, hi! A friend just directed me to this page. Glad you liked the area. It's been there in Leiter there since 2006, with no flight (as a fully functional mario land is still intended after all this time), so sorry if that came unexpectedly… When we relocate to a better sim, i'll complete the map and maybe make it more fun? But yes… We have a script that allows a 1 meter higher jump, So making that jump before the waterfall used to be alot easier. Since Havok four, it's not been right, but changing it's not been a priority, as i wach countless make it, so my apologies… i'll stop yapping though, have a good one :3
Hey Torley, Jei just showed me your video on our place. I'm glad you liked it. ^-^ You should have touched the flag pole or bounced on the springs. They work as well. There are also some multi coin bricks hidden through out the land.
@Jei: I'm surprised it's been there that long and I didn't know earlier, but all too happy to have discovered it. Thanks for sharing, I briefly saw you as a Tanooki as I visited!
@Mai: On my next visit, I'll have to. I appreciate all the interactive elements, they're among the most accurate retrogaming stuffs I've seen in SL and they really make me smile!
Hahaha yes. It's always been small, and never advertised. i had mentioned "My land" at your meetings before… This is the build reffered to… That giant NES is–or was–as old as us if not older. i used to visit it sometimes while taking a break for ours Just a tiny parcel with just the NES before… Alas however, it's gone now. We've downgraded ourselves, in hopes to move it to a quarter sim. Wish us luck, and you're invited to see it when it's built/opened, hahaha!
Later!
PS: Nice shot of me by the way… don't know where my nose is though. Must have had a cold that day.
