You gotta see this!

I'd have to agree. Plus, you have to wonder why the artist was so dim as to completely overlook the possibility of giving Mario a FLUDD when he's clearly themed his "game" around the BP oil spill.

Do not like the news story poster's opinion of SMB movie. The style of SMB The Movie is one of the chief reasons it appeals so much to me, it's so different from it's source material. How comes that is seen as some sort of "perverse screw up", or Hollywood trying to destroy the series, yet when this guy does a pretty lame Mexican themed Mario render it is considered "Awesome"? I'm not saying the style is necessarily bad but Luigi is clearly too much like Waluigi and Mario too much like Wario. Mario and Luigi's frames should be somewhat inbetween.

But maybe cos I'm not American I don't get it. Is there something inherently "Awesome" about Mario and Luigi being Mexican? O.o

We're used to it by now. Every time a "unique new direction" is taken with the games it's inevitably compared to the film as superior; the last big example was the GTA "Brothers Mario" video, which took the Internet by storm and had even less to do with the games than the live-action adaptation.

Ironically that one was a satire.
