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.

What, exactly, does a 'homicidal pervert plumber/rapist' LOOK like? this piece of 'news' is absolutely worthless! And sounds like it's written by a third-grader! Or perhaps an intern?

I think that this author is hilarious!!!! I laughed so hard i cried reading this article. I agree that it is very creepy to see mario in such a weird way. It is however a very creative idea to do so. i am on the fence as far as the idea goes, but this author is A+ !!!!!!

Homer looks like he has a thyroid problem with the way his eyes bulge out of his sockets.

This is funny. I wonder what my Sims (The Sims 2) would look like in real life.

I found this comic some artist did about Mario bros. 3 (more like him as a child recieving Mario 3), I really liked it and thought this would be the place to share it. The artists name is Pat Henzy, I searched all over the web and couldnt find anything else he had done though. It's really cool...
