THE FLAG POLE — Super Mario Brothers fans, unite!
Full disclaimer: I’m not a huge gamer. With that said, I do have a fond appreciation for all things Super Mario Brothers. In my opinion, it’s still the best video game (sorry, WOW and Minecraft people — I’ll always choose Mario Kart.)
The joy of Super Mario is that it has much simpler steering and navigating, so I’m not constantly running into walls or accidentally shooting in the air (here’s looking at you, Halo.)
So imagine my delight when I saw that a YouTuber in Japan had created a real-life Mario level for their pet hamster to run. It combines the best video game with super cute furry animals — what more could you ask for?
Even if you aren’t a Mario fan, the video is pretty delightful. Enjoy.
