Super Mario 3DS trailer!

The new Mario 3d platformer for the Nintendo 3DS was just announced at the E3, here's the trailer! Finally the Tanooki Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3 is back!

           

I think it looks really neat, back to the origins, no more "galaxies" =P

Q-BLOCK a 3d pixel art website!

Q-BLOCK is an online tool and gallery where you can create awesome works of art with 3d pixels (a.k.a. voxels), forget about that old 2d pixel art where you can only see mario in 2 dimensions, with this you can see the good ol' Mario in pixelated 3d. Check it out:

These are just examples, you can rotate them and see them from every angle in the website. You can also create your own, there are hundreds of works already in the gallery. Enjoy!

Mario Kart in real life!

           

This video is completely awesome. What would you do if you had a Mario costume, a Go Kart and lots of bananas? Well, if you're Rémi GAILLARD (creator and producer of the video) probably this! In my opinion the best part is when he enters the Supermarket. Enjoy!

Check this out: Delicious Skittles video game art!

These incredible and tasty works of art were made by DeviantART artist Matt McManis who now has a website dedicated to his skittle art (visit it here) but he regularly accepts submissions by other artists too. I think they look pretty cool. More of his artwork (including animated ones) inside this post! Enjoy!  

Lovely yoshi.

           

Jumping and shooting.

Tanooki suit was the best.

Someone made music out of Super Mario World.

     

Imagine building a complex customized level in Super Mario World, then synchronizing every sound effect of the game (the sound of a power-up, an enemy stomp, yoshi, eating a mushroom, etc) and the timing of Mario jumps with absolute precision, all of this to make them sound like a song; actually like a lot of songs! (mostly anime songs though). As the description of the original video says:

"Countless koopas were damaged in the production of this film"

Please enjoy!

Shy Guy becomes Tough Guy

This custom action figure by Jin Saotome shows a not-so-Shy Guy from the Super Mario Bros world, handling weapons with a whole new attitude:

This figure was sold in ebay a couple of days ago for several hundred dollars. Jin Saotome is now selling a figure based on another Super Mario Bros. character, a 'Snifit'

 What do you think about these figures, would you buy a Mario Bros game with realistic characters?

Mario Portals!

Last week I posted about a game that combines Super Mario Bros with Tetris! But now I found a new game that's still in development but looks very promising nonetheless: Mario Portals! The gameplay possibilities are inmense! Check out this video, I think it looks awesome:



The video also shows the level editor. As you can see, in this game Mario can make portals, as in Portal and Portal 2 and use them to advance further in the levels. So what do you guys think, would you play it?

Tuper Tario Tros.

What happens if you combine Super Mario Bros. with Tetris? This game is the result. Mostly you run around playing Mario until you can't advance any further, then you switch to Tetris mode to build structures that you climb.

I found it quite entertaining, with the end of the first level being particularly challenging! You control Mario with the arrow keys, switch between Tetris and Mario mode with the 'Spacebar' and rotate the pieces with 'X'. Enjoy!
