Do The Mario!

With the release of Super Mario Galaxy this week, I thought I’d put up my favorite Mario video ever. These are the closing credits from the Super Mario Brothers Super Show back in ‘89, which featured live action segments with Capt. Lou Albano as Mario. The best part of this video is at the […]
