Mario gets realistic in this funny 8-bit video

Here's something to spirit you through the day courtesy of the wonder that is the interweb. The video below, which comes from a series titled 'Realistic Mario' by Peter Holmes, gives us a sense of what it'd really be like for Mario to break those famous blocks he's always hitting throughout his platforming adventures.

Poor Mario & Luigi too. A great video no doubt, though as many Mario fans will know, Mario actually hits the blocks with his fist as opposed to his head, of course that would probably be pretty damn painful too. What did you think of this awesome video? There's plenty more that you can view in the series at creator Pete Holmes youtube channel!
