Mario Goes on a Rampage as the Anti-Hero in These Images
Michael Baxter — February 5, 2014 — Art & Design
This video game mashup may be the most epic Super Mario rendition on the entire Internet. Somebody clearly ticked off Mario and now he’s gone on a rampage across all game platforms to exact revenge.
Mario has always been the face of Nintendo, but more than that, he may be the face of the whole video game industry itself. Even people who don’t play video games know who Mario is. Mario has attained God status in Asia and for good reason, he’s been going strong for decades.
In these video game mashup images, artist Sebastian von Buchwald shows a different side to the cute Italian plumber. Mario has infiltrated other games and is wrecking up the place in spectacular fashion. We get to see Mario go head to head with Solid Snake, Big Daddy, Cloud and his arch nemesis Donkey Kong in pitched combat.
