Speed skating can be a dangerous sport at the best of times, but what happens when you add in Mario Kart items? Find out with this “Speed skating double dash” from Sochi 😉

Watch as these speed skaters collect item boxes and use the classic Mario Kart items to their advantage!

Who wouldn’t want to see this as an Olympic sport? Or maybe something for Sonic and Mario at the Olympic games?

Video after the jump

Epic rap battles of historahhhhhhhhh! There is something amusing about the very concept of the Super Mario Bros rapping but I guess I have seen stranger things on the internet.

Anyway, enjoy this epic rap battle between The Super Mario Bros and The Wright Brothers!

Does anyone else notice a trend with Luigi and Orville’s mustaches? Same barber perhaps!

Super Mario gets a mention in this really interesting video!

It seems that more and more studies are coming out these days that show video games can actually improve areas of your brain such as memory!

Sounds too good to be true right? Well there is certainly something to it but that doesn’t mean you should do nothing but play video games!

A side note for this video, the gamers mentioned that played Mario 64 were actually new to the game. Sadly if the game is no longer a challenge for you (as I suspect may be the case if you are reading this) then the benefits are lost. It’s all about keeping your brain active and having a healthy life balance!

Check out this awesome video and then go and play outside!

A lot of you would have already seen the trailer released at E3 7 months ago for this new Mario Kart 8 game! Well, last month Nintendo released an official trailer for the game and it looks Awesome!

It’s still the classic, crazy, chaos that comes with the Mario Kart franchise but updated and modernized…and with more flying on hang gliders and driving on walls!

Keep an eye on the amazing looking new maps too! It looks like they have incorporated everything from planes, ruins and pirates to clouds, beanstalks and airships!

The trailer for the new Mario Kart 8 is only 2:12 long so what are you waiting for? Check it out now!

Many thanks to Nick for finding this unique piece of Mario awesomeness!

Most people that love Mario have a soft spot for Super Mario Bros 3 but this fan has taken it to an entire new level (video game pun intended).

This awesome rug would be more than welcome in my home! It features Super Mario in his Raccoon suit from SMB3.

Tell me you wouldn’t want this at home too!

Haha this is awesome! If you are a fan of Modding and super Mario bros then you will love this video!

Someone has taken the time to reskin GTA 4 with a Mario spin. Using 2 mods you can transform the game into some Mario fun! I couldn’t find the Go Kart mod or the Super Mario mod used in the vid but you can get a cool one here.

Something about Mario with an Bazooka makes me smile.

Awesome demo video too! Not sure about some of the commentary though…

Grate Guy’s Casino is a hidden part of the map in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Accessing this area is a bonus feature added to the game to give gamers something to achieve besides the standard storyline.  The hidden casino is run by the Jester called Grate Guy and players must acquire a Bright Card from the Knife Guy in order to gain entry to the building.

It’s been a little while since we have put up a compilation of Mario pics from our Facebook page so rather then add all of the images here is a “best of list”.

Don’t forget to go and give us a like to see these first and to also give your day (and news feed) that much needed Mario edge!

We all love a themed party and bingo is a great way for everyone to have some fun and frolics!  You don’t need to visit bingo sites all the time to enjoy this great game you can make your own bingo cards all by yourself which is great fun.

One of the most common themes for people who are a fan of classic or retro computer games or people of the younger generation is a Super Mario Party!  Of course you can get a cake and card no problem in most stores – but how about making your own Super Mario bingo cards?  It’s really easy and will be a great addition to a party.  Here’s how you can make it:

We have seen people pole dancing as Mario and Luigi, fancy dressing as the bros and now…well, now you can see people dressed as the Super Mario brothers performing some amazing Parkour stunts! This amazing clip not only features plumbers in uniform jumping and climbing amazing things, it also has included a bunch of Super Mario sound effects and even added in scenery and items from the game. Someone has some pretty good video editing skills that’s for sure!

Mario even kicks some Goombas!

Lucky for these guys they don’t lose too much power when they lose their hats…

Anyway, enjoy this awesome clip! But remember kids, don’t try this at home!
