What Would Mario Look Like In Real Life?




What would iconic video game character Mario look like in real life? One word: terrifying.

The anonymous creator of the blog Pixeloo has begun "de-tooning" cartoons, utilizing photoshop to transform fictional folks such as Homer Simpson and Mario into human-like representations of their animated selves. To clarify, they are not supposed to completely look like real humans. The "de-tooned" characters retain the exact proportions as the cartoons, but get realisti-looking facial characteristics and complexions. The results are unsettling, to say the least.

Mario, everyone's favorite G-rated superhero is transformed by this "de-tooning" into what can only be described as a homicidal pervert plumber/rapist. That is literally the first thing that came to mind. Credit has to be given to the creator of these startling images. It takes skill to make such a fluffy, bouncy character utterly capable of inducing night terrors.

Honestly, there just isn't much else to say. There are certain images that stay with you. We are sure the image of "de-tooned" Mario will visit you all very soon. In your sleep. When you are alone and vulnerable.
