Mario’s Mean Streak
When we think of Mario, we think of a perpetually happy plumber. That’s because he’s smiling in just about every authorized depiction ever–except this one, which finds him with a horribly mean look on his face.
This illustration is odd not just because it’s out of the ordinary, but because it appears on a licensed set of party plates. It’s true that Mario played villain once –in Donkey Kong Jr. — but even then he didn’t look this mean. In the end, we have to write it off as a one time slip-up by a disgruntled artist.

That's a fantastic collection of weird Mario stuff. I agree, that control-Mario-by-hand video is amazing!
