Illustrator Mike Puncekar puts a dark spin on the villains of the classic Nintendo video game Super Mario Bros. He transforms what were cute 8-bit characters fit for children into a nightmarish vision that would be more at home in the pages of Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I'm especially found of his Goomba and Koopa characters. Someone seriously needs to develop this awesome sketches into a game! I would camp out overnight in front of a GameStop for a cross between BioShock and Mario.

  1. Very cool stuff. But really just a tease. Now I want a Mario game done with this style of art. And Nintendo will never do that. But then, under parody exemption for copyright, I wonder if someone else could? Hmm...
