15 Moments of Mario Like You’ve Never Seen Him Before

Super Mario Bros has gone a long way from the early days of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Not the naive, innocent, simple minded plumber who’s out running to rescue an ungrateful from princess from a castle. The magic of the Internet, the creative abilities and minds of the chubby Italian’s fans have turned him into a more well rounded character, much more interesting, often preferring to portray the dark side of being a video game hero and the toll it takes on your personal life.

Mario, like everyone one of us, has his bad days, and worse. It doesn’t get as bad as the feature film, but there are some low moments in the life of the mustached pixel. Of course, we didn’t want it to be all bad, some there are a few cool looking one’s as well.
