Bullshit, this isn't stop-motion nor are those actual Lego bricks. The whole thing is CGI. The Lego are so obviously fake (rendered, that is), and a baseplate that big doesn't even exist.

What they probably did was write a small program to convert an image stream into models (similar to LDraw) and then render them.

Neat-o! Though it makes me feel like I suck at Donkey Kong. No way do I finish the first level that fast.

Do LEGO even exist in the color of Peach's dress?

Yes there is that color purple in her dress, there are about 130 different Lego colors.

There are also Lego CAD programs that means the Lego's are fake. The Lego Company themselves uses CAD to design new sets.

Hmm, somehow even with all the "debunking" it still seems extremely cool to me.

I like Mario, I like Legos, ergo I like this!
Well done.(However it was done.)

One step behind Kotaku again eh Joystiq? More original content, abd less blog nabbing please, it's starting to get a little noticable. I won't comment on this again, in the hopes that you'll see that people are catching on.

We read blogs - we know what's been taken and what hasn't.

Now that's a cool idea. Good job to the creator of this project; it's always cool seeing Nintendo fans be creative and do stuff like this. Mario, Donkey Kong, and Princess meeting Legos and Stop Motion = Awesome.

I would rather watch a imperfect Lego stop animation made with real Legos than a spot on computer generated one anyday. Its neat, but its obviously a computer animation (perfect example of why: http://www.bitflicks.com/2006/09/28/musical-rhythm-games-on-the-nintendo-ds/).

Lynx: sorry! I totally meant to email you and make sure you hadn't already seen this!

Sorry everyone else on the internet. Lynx has already seen this ... move along, nothing to see here.

Paul Gale apparently did not real the previous comments, explore the site, or watch this video (http://www.bitflicks.com/2006/09/28/musical-rhythm-games-on-the-nintendo-ds/) which gives the entire concept away. It's all CGI and saying it's a mix of different techniques doesn't make it ok.

So, even if the bricks are all rendered, that makes this work null and void, does it?

How about giving a bit of credit where it's due, you miserable buggers?

To karmaghost:
My first desire was to watch the video, which I believed it to be true and enjoyed it. I did afterwards read the comments of others and learned that it was CGI, but, thanks for the information nonetheless.
