Super Mario Theme on Piano
If the cool jazz sounds from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood met the Super Mario Brothers theme, this is what it would sound like. How many variations of this will they come up with?!
Super Mario: The Tune That Will Not Die
There have been so many covers of the Super Mario Brothers tune that I'm seriously holding out for Philip Glass's opera treatment. In the meantime, here's a haunting version created from a battery-operated toy car and empty wine bottles. Sweet.
Super Mario Hand Fart
By request, the hand farting specialist has mastered the tune of everyone's favorite video game. I think our brick-bunting plumber needs to leave his princess by the wayside a bit longer, so he can sit down, take a break, and enjoy an earful of this. It's kind of a big deal.
Mario Just Won't Die!
But I'm cool with that. Who doesn't love Mario? As if the game weren't old school enough, a loyal fan decided to go flip-book bonkers and draw his own Mario animation.
The Song That Just Won't Die
We've heard it done on the drums, played on bottles and given the Japanese club remix treatment. Here's a montage of the many other ways this revolutionary song lives on in our minds, hearts and...toe jam?

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Safe Sex In Mario Land
Back in the 80s, the American Board of Education toyed with the cringe-worthy idea of having the Super Mario Brothers give a lesson in safe sex and this was their demo tape.

Secondly, what's up with mushroom shaped testosterone and green speckled eggs and "condom boots"?
Live-Action Mario
This is impressive. A group of college kids got together to recreate the Super Mario game playing experience on stage. I had my doubts that they could live up to the real game's level of cool, but they definitely got the job done!
Another Super Mario Brothers Cover
The double guitar combo is impressive, and the tune has a lounge-y vibe to it that's cool. But what I love about this Super Mario Brothers cover is how the rhythm is all wonky and the musician isn't exactly on fire with stage presence. Super cute.
The Real World: Super Mario Land
How realistic was a coin collecting, brick head-butting, mushroom eating plumber who wasted all his time running through pipes and jumping down tunnels in search of a listless princess? Well, if Mario had his own reality show, this would (unfortunately) be it. Perhaps he should spend more time chasing down a new wardrobe in the real world?
Super Mario Brothers Theme Played on Bottles
This is the slowest version I've ever heard, but it's pretty skillful nonetheless. I'm not sure why, but I love this tune...
