SNL’s Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary skit pops off

Like, literally pops

Last night, Saturday Night Live aired a skit devoted to Super Mario Bros’ 35th anniversary. The skit is a mock interview with developers, Nintendo’s marketing, and a pair of fans of the series — one of which had an, uh, unfortunate accident. SNL’s current staff of writers and actors are noted gamers, and the hobby has been the focus of several skits over the last few years.

The skit is nuts.

Happy Anniversary, Mario!
