It's hard to believe that this great piece of filmmaking was done by someone who wasn't even born when Super Mario Bros. 3 was released for the NES. A 21-year-old YouTuber named smartkid82504 used some cardboard, paper, glue, and colored pencils to recreate the first five minutes of one of the best platformers ever released [Technabob via Gearbox]:

The author only needed 36 hours to set up this one minute of video. With the same tools and amount of time, I might be able to come up with a movie of two stick figures shooting each other with L-shaped pistols.

Awesome, if not totally faithful. I hope someday when I grow up I can do art again. It left me around the time I figured out what my left hand was REALLY there for.

I thought Super Mario 3 came out in 1990?

If he is 21, then he was born after Mario Bros. 3 came out, and in fact, might have been able to play it when it came out. I feel left out for thinking Mario Bros. 3 was one of the worst in the series, but it's great to see people love soemthing instead of hate it.

Totally cool. I agree with William except for the playing part. He was 2 when SMB3 released.
