This is a video demonstration of Super Mario Bros. being played using 3DNES (a system that detects 2D objects in NES games and turns them into 3D ones — previously) and a virtual reality headset. It looks difficult. Now I’m not saying there’s no way that Mario was able to save the princess playing like this, but I take that back, that’s exactly what I’m saying. She probably died in that stark dungeon cell cold and alone, and now Toad is just a stuffed footstool for Bowser’s throne. I guess that’s what you get when you rely on a plumber to save an entire kingdom. The last plumber I hired couldn’t even unclog the toilet in my new place. “You tried to flush a dozen hotdogs at once.” They were brats, and I needed to know if it could handle a heavy load.

Hit the jump for the video, more info if you want to play it yourself HERE.
