Super Mario In The Big City

I found this video where Mario gets warped into a real city and immediately can’t cope. The joke is that he belongs in that pixel world—platforms, pipes, simple rules. Real cities don’t work that way. You can’t jump to rooftops or find a power-up in a box. The video ends with massive explosions, which feels inevitable. It’s funny because it understands exactly how out of place he’d be in anything resembling reality.
