There is no real context for why I am posting this video for all of you to see. To be honest, my friend just forwarded it to me and I laughed so hard I felt the need to share.

In the early ‘90s, Nintendo put on a videogame competition called Powerfest. I am sure at least some of you (read: old folks) remember it. While I knew kids that went to the event could compete in various Nintendo games, what I did not know was that they sometimes let attendees make “rap” videos with two guys in Mario and Luigi costumes to promote those super nutritious Nintendo-themed fruit snacks that were sold at the time. Remember those? Like chewing on a pencil eraser!

On the other side of the jump is one of those videos.

I have no idea who the guy in this video is, so please don’t start rumors that it is me. It is not. Although … the video is so rad (seriously, the special effects alone warrant that descriptor) that I actually would be proud if that were me dancing away in those little red shorts. Okay, I changed my mind. That is me in the video. Aren’t I bitchin’?

Hit the jump, watch the (VHS!) video, and be prepared to bask in all its retro glory.

Oh, and you will understand why I put “rap” in quotation marks in just a second. A Tupac video this is not.
