You’ve probably seen this pic making the rounds already, but I think it’s something that needs to be exposed to the eyes of all. Behold! This is what Mario really looks like.
Amazing. And very, very creepy. Take away the scruff and the wrinkles, though, and he might not even be that scary! Actually, come to think of it, with smooth skin, he might be even freakier. Yikes. Reminds me of this Mario picture by Rob from Demonbaby.










*shudder*….this scares me…..

Slow news day?

Whoever drew that is a genius. You can see a subtle sadness in his eyes, because he’s tired of jumping around saving princesses all the time.

Gah, this is the 4th time I’ve seen that _thing_… Makes you wonder how old Mario is supposed to be; I’m guessing mid-30s.

I don’t know, it’s odd, I give you that, but it’s not “scary”.

For you internet obsessed people here, you realize that most people who view these articles don’t comment, and most of them are the type who may not look at other websites, so reposting the best of oldish news is a good thing. Just ignore stuff you’ve already seen.
What a concept.

That’s a harsh mid-30s…then again, eating shrooms, fire flowers, running around in crazy raccoon suits, being chased by crazed fungus, and suicidal turtles…i guess that wears a man thin…
God, imagine how freaked he’d be when he met Toad for the first time…

@quicksilver — there’s only one comment to that effect here and even that could be construed to be “yuck, I’ve had to see that thing more than once” lol.

Yeah, that Mario’s pushing 50…
I was pondering it further today, and my previous estimation would mean Yoshi’s Island would have taken place in the 60s or 70s, which kinda makes sense.

Eww…

That’s indescribably creepy. Like that fugly Dobby thing in those Harry Potter movies, or Jar Jar Binks.

That’s an impressive and awesome real-looking Mario. Hmm, Link, Princess Peach, Solid Snake…those would all be cool to see done realistic, too.

Now I want a photo-realistic Mario game.
