In celebration of reaching 120 stars in Super Mario Galaxy — it was pure, brilliant fun throughout, including some deliciously difficult extra levels, and is worth playing just to hear all of the music — I thought I'd post this short video I took last year in Japan, back when New Super Mario Bros. came out.

I hope this brightens your day: twenty five seconds of the World's Happiest Mario.


Try to pause on the suspicious businessman for a great visual. Anyway, thanks, Mario!
