You can visit Peach's castle from Super Mario 64 (and knock down paintings to find secret passages), play around on maps themed after Super Mario Bros 3, and frolic under a gigantic re-creation of the Angry Sun (CAUTION: Do not taunt the Angry Sun).
The game's pre-built world references dozens of Mario games across the series' lifespan. If you ever wanted to see Birdo outfitted as a cat, the Super Mario Mash-Up has you covered.īut what really makes the Super Mario Mash-Up a head-turner are its re-creations of legendary Mario locales. Crafting leather armor gives you a Cat Suit, and Diamond Armor is the adorable Penguin Suit. Even wolves have been turned into marauding packs of Poochies from Yoshi's Island, which makes it unsettlingly hilarious when they go feral and attack nearby sheep (Koopa Troopas in this case).Īrmor sets are now power-up suits. Carrots are still carrots, though they've been altered to resemble the iconic power-ups from Super Mario Land 2. Creepers are green Pokeys, and zombies are Hammer Bros. Potatoes are now the grinning turnips from Super Mario Bros 2. IMPORTANT: The Endermen are now Shyguys on stilts. Pretty much everything in the game - weapons, accessories, armor, and, of course, blocks - has a Super Mario flavor. The Super Mario Mash-Up isn't merely a collection of skins for Steve, though there are plenty of those up for grabs, too (over 40 skins across a variety of heroes, villains, and whatever Waluigi counts as). Mojang and 4J knew they'd have to one-up (heh heh) the content already out there, and even the preview contains plenty of evidence that the teams gave it their all. Needless to say, unofficial fan-made skins for Mario characters have been available since day one in Minecraft. As a long-time advocate of cross-breeding Nintendo and Minecraft, I'm happy this is finally happening. Last week, I was taken on a virtual tour of Mario's chunky new domain by Damon Baker, Nintendo's senior manager of licensing, and 4J, the team handling the skinning process. On May 17, Mario is scheduled to jump into the world of Minecraft: Wii U Edition with a hearty "It's-a me!"
