Realistic Mario will make you question your childhood

If you’re anything like us, you whiled away large portions of your childhood playing Super Mario Bros. You probably spent zero of those hours wondering what it would be like for a vertically challenged Italian plumber to really hit his head against a floating brick square.

Thanks to this video from The Pete Holmes Show however we now know better. Realistic Mario sees one of the world’s most recognisable game characters taking on blocks that, um, don’t yield any gold coins.

You’ll probably laugh a little uncomfortably at Mario’s anguish, but what happens to Luigi is just plain tragic.
