Mario v. Pac-Man animated short film

My favorite TokyoMango tipster Kazu Y just clued me into this fun little video on Yahoo! Japan that shows what might happen if Mario and Pac-Man went head to head in battle in Mario World. Despite having the home court advantage, Mario makes some major errors that ultimately cost him his head.

These are really funny, although I don’t read Russian so for some of them have a hard time figuring out exactly who the characters are supposed to be.

The Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones (?) one was particularly hilarious, but fair warning: the Jason (of Halloween)/…(uh I’m not sure who that is supposed to be) is likely NSFW
