Ah the 80’s! They brought us a lot of awesome movies, a lot of awesome music and a lot of questionable fashion ideas…This classic80’s commercial is advertising the brand new Game Genie! It connects to most of your favourite games! I loved having the game genie, the infinite flight cheat you could use for the princess in Super Mario Bros 2 was truly amazing and I remember still struggling to pass contra even with infinite lives!

For those of you that don’t know the game genie was an attachment that would slide onto a NES cartridge and would then allow you to enter a series of codes to unlock certain cheats. The codes themselves were housed in a small game genie book that listed games alphabetically.

This video is hilarious! I love how far marketing has come in just a few short years and whilst I love this ad quite a lot I am thankful that we don’t have to put up with this style of ad on a day to day basis anymore!

I have seen bits and pieces of this ad put together in animated gif’s but I never actually knew it was a DS advertisement! In my eyes this just makes it all the more cool I think.

Thanks to Shadow for finally finding me a usable copy to share with everyone! Enjoy this classic Super Mario Kart DS Japanese advertisement!

This is a pretty amazing fan video that someone has made using Mario Plush toys and Mario sound effects! I really love how Mario somehow inspires people to make such amazing things! Great level of detail put into this and I imagine the filming alone would have been very time consuming, not to mention the all of the editing! A great piece of Mario fan work! Enjoy!

After many hours spent playing Super Mario Sunshine I am sure I’m not the only one who wishes that the F.L.U.D.D existed in real life. Man it would be cruisy to just jet around in the sun, charming princesses and de-graffiti-ing the world.

Maybe it’s more possible than we think?

This gives you an idea of how Super Mario Bros might look like from a first person perspective! Props go out to whoever built this awesome Half Life 2 Map!

This must have taken some serious time to get this all working in time with the music. Whoever made this is a very dedicated Super Mario World fan, but the final product is well worth it in my eyes. Enjoy 11 minutes of Mario madness!

This is an awesome little video of the first Mario Level from SMB1 on the Nes only our Hero has been pac-man-erized!

Enjoy the vid guys!

Well this is pretty awesome, although I’m not sure about the guy’s commentary. Anyway this is a nice twist on the classic game! Shows off a couple of secret blocks and such as well along the way. Enjoy!

Here is a little clip of the voice actor behind Mario, sometimes it’s cool to see a video and not just a picture!

I have seen this ad on Australian TV twice now and just had to share it with the world. This was the best version of it I could find on youtube, but the colour and sound is a little off unfortunately 🙁

Enjoy all the same, it’s an awesome ad!
