Mario Acting As The Anti-Hero In Other Video Games

Mario is such a universally recognized character that it’s surprising he doesn’t appear in more video game crossovers, but that probably all comes down to licensing and money.

However, fans of that super powered plumber and his string bean of a brother would simply adore the addition of the Bros. in games from all genres, but until that happens in real life we’ll just have to settle for staring at these amazing illustrations by Sebastian von Buchwald.

They feature one angry Mario, acting as anti-hero in games like Bioshock, Final Fantasy VII, Tomb Raider and Dragon’s Lair. Somehow seeing Mario acting like a bad little plumber just makes him look like Wario in disguise, maybe Mario should stick to being a good guy.
