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.

When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
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!
Also, not bad, but the effort could have been better spent working on solving global warming.
Also, show your hands if you cannot ever hear "Don't Stop Me Now" again without thinking of "Shaun of the Dead"? *raises hand*
...
AMAZING!
It sounds nothing like the song. Save for the beat.
