Mixing game and stop motion videos together creates what you see in the 'Super Mario Beads 3' video.
Using the suburban jungle as a backdrop rather than the usual dark caves and magic lands that fans of the franchise are used to seeing, Mario continues along through the video doing what he does best -- getting points and eventually saving his beloved princess Peach.
The video was created by Marcus and Hannes Knutsson, who created each of the video game characters entirely out of beads. Though it must have been a long and arduous process, the results are an excellent piece of artistry as well as a great nostalgic experience that blends real and gamer reality into one. So if you ever dreamed of seeing Mario jump and leap through suburbia (which I am sure many of you have) the Mario Beads 3 stop motion video is right up your alley.
