Mario in the Flesh
What if you took Mario, in all his cartoonish proportions, and rendered him in flesh and blood? That’s exactly what Internet artist Pixeloo did in 2008, and the result is amazing, if not slightly disturbing.

Still, it’s the closest thing you’ll get to seeing the “real” Mario short of checking out the only known photo of Mario’s namesake, Mario Segale, which we published earlier this year.
