Strange, black light version of Super Mario Bros from India photo

India's Got Talent? I'm sure they do. In this case, it seems that their talent lies in modifying how classic videogames play out into strange skits.

On the television show India's Got Talent, one group decided to take classic Super Mario Bros and twist it into some broken black light version where Bowser has a laser gun and 1UP mushrooms can revive you. Or maybe that's how Super Mario Bros really is in India. I don't know. But I do know that the faces of the judges trying to feign interest in this group's skit are hilarious.

The way I look at it, Japan does one of these skits every day. They've got it perfected by now. I think this group watches too much YouTube. Check out the India video as well as a much better one after the jump.

It looks like those judges have no idea what they are looking at

I think it's safe to say that India has no talent.

A loading bar in the original Super Mario Bros? Has this game even been released in India? Or are they just guessing?

I thought the first one was very well put together. Not like the Japanese one where they have Goombas on their asses

I have such fond memories of the SMB loading screen, Bowser looking like a Godzilla reject, how he had a laser, and Luigi's ability to pull things from out of thin air while stopping time.

Wait...no I don't. Screw you, India.

Personally, I wouldn't mind hearing more of the Smash Bros. version of the Mario song with BUMPIN' BEATS.

Hey that second one is like that Matrix Ping Pong video from a few years back.

Anybody know if it's the same show? And if so what it's called?
