Super Paper Mario Bros. DS (sort of)

by Eric Caoili on Dec 3rd 2007 12:20PM

Marcelo Perfetti and Martin Urrutia's production is an imaginative display of how a stylus-supported version of Super Mario Bros. would play on the Nintendo DS. This paper-powered approximation of the NES classic's first level even comes complete with a tinny version of the Overworld theme! That creative bit with the flag at the end is extra charming, snuck in with a wink.

Why can't more kids use up their near-limitless amounts of free time to entertain us with these homemade picture shows? Now, if only they had gone the extra mile and flicked a lighter underneath the screen to burn in some fireworks ...

Um, because... we're too busy playing vidja games? Like, on the DS?
That's my excuse, anyway.

Too bad mario never hit a box, or jumped on an enemy. That would have been sweet.

This is not how you would play it on the DS. For instance how would you control the height of the jump?

thank you. this would make no sense at all. i hope to god Nintendo never releases a DS Mario (or any game for that matter) that would play like this one.

Man, I got all excited thinking of how hardcore a real 'Paper Mario DS' would be. I bet you fifteen cents Intellegent Systems is on it right now: working!
