Super Mario Oddities
25 years of wackiness inspired by the legendary Nintendo game, from lost levels to breakfast food to pop art.Posted by Benj Edwards | Sunday, September 12, 2010
Radio Free Mario
In 1986, Nintendo released a modified version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (known as the “Lost Levels” in the US) on the Famicom Disk System called “All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.”
All Night Nippon, a popular radio show in Japan, raffled a few thousand copies of this game off to lucky listeners. As such, it’s quite rare and quite odd: it contained modified graphics that replaced certain enemies with depictions of the show hosts (seen here, inset) and a mixture of levels from Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2. The game remains a rare collectible to this day.

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