A perfect Friday watch
To say that “Mario Level 1-1” is iconic is an understatement. I think I’ve seen more content based off of it than any other individual stage in history. Whenever there’s a new “level creator” game, there’s a 1-1: it’s just the circle of life. But so many ofthose creationsare fantastic, as peopleslowly morph it into something of their own. That’s just what violin master andYouTuber teppei_senseidid with thisMarioviolin cover performance.
So this is from 2020, but as soon as I caught wind of it from our own CJ Andriessen, I had to share it. I mean, we just established that 1-1 is timeless! So if you haven’t seen this yet, pull up a chair and get ready to smile for two minutes straight. Right from the get-go, you’ll see what teppei_sensei has in store for you, as he serenades you with theMariotheme and then immediately takes you for a ride with live sound effects (right down to the last detail like the score noise at the end of the first level).
It’s safe to say that if I could hire someone to live score all of my playthroughs, I’d do it. An orchestra even! Someone make this happen with a SekiSoulsBorne entry. ThisMarioviolin cover doesn’t just deal with level 1-1, either. Watch it!
