In Super Mario you're a vengeful plumber destroying the homes of countless meandering creatures because your girlfriend left you for a turtle.

Bonnie Burton was on MTV True Life: I'm a professional gamer.

Now she's all grown up.

Wait, she was a gamer?!

Mario games really lose something when you replace the fat plumber with meme faces:

There is a flash version of Super Mario where you can play as other NES characters like Link or Samus. The kicker is they all keep their stats from their games. So you can blast blast all the enemies but may be too tall or cant jump high enough, so it adds a bit of a challenge as well. Ill stash it if I ever remember the name.

Please do stash that; it sounds awesome.

I'm pretty sure even in that version I'd go to all the wrong castles!
