This Super Mario Land Rap is So Bad, It’s Good
By Benjamin OpalI tend to forget about Super Mario Land, because unlike its NES counterparts, the Game Boy classic hasn’t been re-released time and time again on new Nintendo platforms. Fortunately, there’s this Super Mario Land rap to remind us that the game was totally crazy, and had a catchy chiptune soundtrack. Action Adventure World frontman Duane “8BitDuane” Zuwala hits us with such timeless lyrics as “It’s the goomba stompin mushroom poppin mustached man/Koopa clompin’ body dropping fireball in my hand,” and “Mario, I hope you’re ready to die/My space ship shoots 3 balls at a time.” Leans a little too heavily on the crutch of profanity, but I can’t say I disapprove as a whole. Also from 8BitDuane and his crew, raps on Bad Dudes and Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest. Even more on MySpace, and somehow there’s a fan site with lyrics for all these tunes. [via Reddit]
