Playable Paper Super Mario... no really, he's made of paper

Taking Paper Mario to its logical -- albeit extreme -- conclusion, an artist / DIY'er named Keith Lam has created the first physical, playable implementation of Super Mario Brothers. By emphasizing Mario's movement on the background, and turning the "TV" into the object which moves, the character appears to traverse the familiar landscape of SMB, complete with collision detection, brick movement, and mechanized jumping. The "system" is built using a chain-driven platform, which is shakily directed with an actual NES (well, Famicom) controller, thus allowing for some game play -- though with response times like this, you're better off just watching.

thats pretty cool.

paper mario on a literal level. lol

I really want to say something positive about this

but i cant!

I, along with probably lots of others were making this kinda thing in paper and card back in the mid 80s, only difference here is that he's got a motor and a famicom pad.

For those who are gonna watch the video, just watch the first bit, once they start "explaining" it, it gets real boring real fast.

Nope, still cant say anything good. so I'll say nothing.

This to me would of been a million times better if the paper scrolled, not the player!
