Oh, Internet. First, you shattered my ability to feel empathy for the world’s woes. Then, you killed every scrap of sensitivity that I had with outrageous pictures and video. Now, you have swooped down and taken the original Super Mario Bros. theme away from me. Thankfully, you only did it with a banana.
That’s right, one of the guys from Eegra plays the Super Mario Bros. theme with a banana in the video above. Naturally, I’m wary of what kind of banana that man has. Whenever I run to my grocer for a banana it typically doesn’t scream at me while I cut or peel it. If it did, I doubt I could manipulate it enough to create a song.
Regardless, this is just another lesson within the beauty of the Internet and videogames. A banana and Mario always equals success.

This really isn't the gaming news that I come here for.
Maybe there really is something to the whole "gamers are growing up, so they don't want the same old immature humor all the time..."
I think everyone knows that.
An angry editorial or mildly humorous original content, sure. That I can understand. But just some guy from you tube "playing" a song from mario brothers on a banana? Why? Why is this news? Its not funny or interesting and is barely video game related.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.
Lighten up.
Pure genius? I think so.
that would be great
Is everyone missing the point that this was obviously done as a way of making fun of the fact that we have about a billion videos out there of unique ways to play the Mario theme? This is probably the most ridiculously overplayed musical endeavor taken on by gamers at the moment. I cringe everytime someone finds a new way to lobotomize a piece of my childhood nostalgia simply because they can. This video, on the other hand, lets me know that I'm not the only one who finds the whole thing ridiculous.
Now if only we could do something about those videogame themed birthday cakes...

Pffft, totally fake.
