Street art has been taken to another level, with this customized fire hydrant. The hydrant was painted with Super Mario on it, complete from head to toe; his legs are even separated to show his powerful stance.
Although this fire hydrant is all done up, it is definitely not complete without Mario’s sidekick Luigi.
Just check out how cute his big, extending ears look! I wonder how many other fire hydrants have been customized like this.
