Is there a term to describe those Super Mario World levels that play themselves and sometimes make music as a result? I'm sure there is, but I don't know it. "Automatic Mario" doesn't count, because that sounds silly. At any rate, you surely know what I'm referring to.

The good folks at GoNintendo have stumbled upon what has to be the greatest of them all -- it's Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" as played by four different Mario levels running simultaneously. The more I type, the longer it will take for you to watch it, so I'm going to cease talking.

A person died making this, you know.

Words...alone...cannot...describe...

Dizzy

That was just fucking EPIC!

dwolfwood

What is this crap? D:

bigRed

fucking genuius

Topher Cantler

This is right up there with the Muppets thing from the other day in the running for GREATEST THING EVER

and0

That sounded pretty awful. It's not like that Niko-video one where the melody is pretty clear, this just sounds kind of awful.

Bigby

Damn, makes you wonder what the guy does for a living.

Monodi

Everytime this gets played, a Freddie Mercury receives its wings.

de BLOO

Now that was awesome.

JDavis1186

It stopped to buffer about 1:30 in. The irony.

ChickenNow

Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but this is seriously overrated.

There's no melody to it at all, and if it weren't for the actual song playing in the background, you would never know what song it is.

Dr Milkdad

Best one of these I've seen in a while. Best video I'll see all month. WIN!

RAB

Somebody posted on youtube some footage of them playing the No Russian "airport stage" with this song playing. pretty hilarious

psycho terror2

amazing. i bet that brought a tear to miyamoto's eye.

WankerJist

Cool. Maybe they should remake Mario Paint, eh?

booyahachieved7

Creamsnake

Well, I think it's dumb so... there ya go.

I'm sure a lot of time and effort was wasted on this and everything but it sounds like ass.

This whole thing is a travesty and a sham and a mockery... a traveshamockery!

Solid Squirrel

Hmm. I'm just looking at a giant blank white space, no video.

Solid Squirrel

Whoop, never mind. After I came back, it magically respawned.

Deekman

I agree with ChickenNow if it wasn't for the song playing in the background it would sound nothing like it. It's a cool concept but totally fails in execution.

Danny Leiva

oh. my. god

nsolo1717

really, how do people pull this shit off?

Rene Pinel

Speechless....

Insane Enigma

Thank you Jordan for always showing us something that will brighten up any day. Continue showing us the awesome.

crazy turtle1234

Roger Ebert can watch this video. Now, try to get him to say that this is not art. Finally we have proof that videogames are truly art.

GundamJehutyKai

Now we get to wait for what the LBP community can make to compete...

Solid Squirrel

Whoop, never mind. After I came back, it magically respawned.

Also, not bad, but the effort could have been better spent working on solving global warming.

Pacopaco

Visually, I enjoyed the hell out of it and hope to see more videos like this in the future. As far as the music goes, I have to agree with ChickenNow and say that the level doesn't seem to emulate the music nearly as well as other custom levels out there. Maybe this was meant to be more of an accompaniment?

Takeshi

Rosseh

Impressive. But at times it was just noise.

CrocBox

Defying the laws of reality indeed.O_O

shaoranwright

Out-fucking-standing!

Live-Free-Or-Pie

Kill the Queen!

Sharpless

I think I'm one of the only people who really can't stand "Don't Stop Me Now." One of Queen's worst, IMO. But regardless, that's an impressive feat of programming.

braulio09

I agree with ChickenNow, without the song in the background, this would be impossible to recognize

atastysammich

OH MY GOOOOD. I'll never be able to go back to the single-screen Automatic Marios now.

VinceNotVance

Don't really like it; actually, the song in the background kills whatever melody they were trying to establish with the "automatic" Mario thing.

Also, show your hands if you cannot ever hear "Don't Stop Me Now" again without thinking of "Shaun of the Dead"? *raises hand*

free touch

wow. That is one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. Thank you for posting this.

Brlito

Holy fucking CRAP!

It was AWESOME, but at some points if the song wasn't playing it'd just be random jibber jabber.

andycadaver

HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK

Dexter345

...

...

AMAZING!

Mr Kite

Fucking. Win.

zig83

I don't get it.

It sounds nothing like the song. Save for the beat.

Bigmoose85

weak

Gee-Man

Man, shows you'll get haters no matter what you're showing. Anyways, I liked it, but that may just have to do with my utter idolization of Queen in general. I'd like to see something like this done in Mario Paint. I think it'd work even better in that.

Ganjookie

sounds like just noise as others stated. Good try though.

DelayedPiano

This was the best 4 minutes of internet I have experienced.

TheStripe

(!o!)

Akitoscorpio

Words fail me right now.

Wintersocks

@wankerjist

YES. Wiiware peepz, get er' dorn.
