Super Mario 64 Challenge

Ive been going through these videos for the last hour or so, and they are truly excellent :) Firstly a little info:

Two Japanese players invent a new game inside of Mario 64 – activate a 1up mushroom from a tree then attempt to gather all 8 red coins on a level and collect the star without letting the 1up mushroom reach you. Since the mushroom chases you very fast and can fly anywhere, this is extremely difficult.

Now that sounds fun, but not all the amazing, no? Wrong. What makes these videos excellent is the narration. Now I understand no Japanese what so ever, but  you don’t need to, it all in the shear PANIC expressed by the guys due to the chasing 1up :)

Now for the impatient among you, skip to around 60 seconds into the video below, and you shall understand :)

More videos available via YouTube user psion0011, the original videos appeared on www.nicovideo.jp enjoy! :)

This is the 3rd project to get off the ground by former 1Up employees in the last few weeks, following the layoffs after UGO’s purchase of 1UP.com. Rebel FM and The GeekBox are both podcasts from the former employees.
