Modern Mario Art
These days, one can find many artistic reinterpretations of Mario on the web. Sites like deviantART thrive with fan-based art that re-imagines popular video games. A common angle artists take is to depict video game characters and settings (like Mario) in a more realistic fashion.
Two such works can be found here. On the left, we see “The M.K.” painted by Jose Emroca Flores for the 2006 i am 8bit art exhibition. On the right, we see a realistic Mario squishing a bloodied Goomba created by Living Oxymoron. Both are notable for their vivid, harsh depictions of Mario’s normally carefree cartoon world.

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