What it is is pretty inventive and it takes some interesting liberties with its source material, which is always nice. There's more visually impressive stuff out there, but you can't really fault their execution or flair. But "matrix ping pong" is still my favourite.

Also, it may be silly, but to pull off something like that using people takes an awful lot of skill and imagination. Tedious? Maybe you were thinking of 'Trite', as Mario does get appropriated an awful lot. Several good dictionaries are freely available online.
