A Resume That’ll Get You Any Job In The Mushroom Kingdom
After scrolling through the first level of his video game-themed interactive resume, I was fully prepared to offer Mr. Robby Leonardi any job I might have had lying about. Then I got to level two. Wouldn’t you know it? It’s a damn water level. Save that nautical crap for later, Leonardi! Now I’ve got to…

Mario Games Are Better When They Change
Do you know Mario? Do you really know Mario? The long and storied history of the plumber (ahem, not janitor) has been a crazy ride through all sorts of changes, new settings and new features. And it’s those changes that make up the core of the games he stars in. It’s also the reason why…

Mario Has An Existential Crisis In This Crazy Rock Opera
I never thought I’d find a rock opera based on Super Mario Brothers exciting. It turns out I was wrong. We went and saw The Mario Opera — the absurdist brainchild of singer/songwriter Jonathan Mann that had a one-night revival at Joe’s Pub earlier this month. In the video above, we talk to Jonathan about…

The Mario Bros. Have Some Pretty Damn Sweet Parkour Moves
Which shouldn’t be surprising, seeing as they’ve starred in a metric ton of platformers but hey, video proof! In reality, the two extremely talented people you see here are Christian Russell as Mario and Ronnie Shalvis as Luigi, of CBR Stunts and Ronnie Street Stunts, respectively—although I’d suspect their normal line of work doesn’t have…
