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.

I'm a contributing editor here at Boing Boing. I also have a blog (TokyoMango), a book (Urawaza), and I freelance for Wired, Make, the NY Times Magazine, PRI's Studio360, etc. I'm @tokyomango on Twitter.

    Wow, great! But not sure why you thought you needed to put a spoiler in the description…

    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

    Thanks Lisa!

    Watch the Contra vs. Tetris video, you will never think of Tetris in the same way.
