Mario has always been obsessed with air time. In the beginning, he could only hope to run fast enough to jump high, but later he gained the ability to concentrate and jump even higher. Eventually, he found that some self-modification could bring about short bouts of flight. Even with that, I’m sure he never imagined he’d be gliding in space from planet to planet, or that he’d be doing the space float with Dr. Buzz Aldrin.
That’s right, the pilot of the Apollo 11, and the second man to step foot on the moon is now doing air tumbles with Mario. Of course, this WTF-worthy stunt was an effort to promote the upcoming Wii game Super Mario Galaxy.
If you were going anti-grav, who would you rather float with: Mario, Buzz Aldrin, or Jennifer Love Hewitt?
There’s two more pics after the jump.
