Nintendo recently released a new range of costumes for their popular game Super Mario Odyssey,which allows players to dress Mario up in a variety of colourful costumes. The most entertaining by far, however, is the throwback 8-bit style, very similar to the Mario Amiibo that was released a few years ago for the 30^thanniversary celebration.

An Italian plumber with a bushy moustache who jumps on the heads of his foes –strangely enough, that’s the description of one of the most beloved video game characters the world has ever seen! Over the years Mario has moved on and up, and his long history provides a heady number of games to compare. We’ve rounded up the best 5 Mario games ever, so take a look and see what titles are considered tops.

Forget the Bermuda Triangle, Easter Island, and the Lizard Queen of Buckingham Palace, the biggest mystery of the modern world has to be the nearly unending appeal of one fat plumber – not a cute hedgehog or a crazed bandicoot but a portly pipe bender. It is, of course, Nintendo’s long-serving mascot Mario, who, with the October 2017 release of Super Mario Odyssey, will have appeared in more than 250 original titles since his inception in 1985. The character reportedly has a single grey hair in the latter game; with the mileage Nintendo have got from the moustachioed Italian, it’s no surprise.

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!

Ever wondered how things would turn out if Mario’s eye’s strayed off from Peach during their high school years? It would probably turn into the beginnings of Super Smash Bros, as this video shows us!

This video is fantastic! I love videos where you can tell the creators are fan’s of the Mario franchise and with this one you can really tell. The subtle Mario backgrounds, the sounds, the costumes and the all around awesome added effects are sure to bring a smile to any Mario fans face!
