Mari0 - Super Mario Bros. meets Portal

Dorkly Bits did a Mario With a Portal Gun video around a year ago:



Well, the fine people at Stabyourself.net obviously thought it was a great idea because now the game actually exists!  And it's available for the low, low cost of free.

A complete from scratch recreation of Super Mario Bros. with a focus on perfectly imitating the feel the 1985 classic gave us.  Then give Mario a portal gun, add puzzle game mechanics from Portal and there you go. And if that wasn't crazy enough, play 4-player coop, with everyone having their own portal gun!

And here's a video by CaptainSparklez, showing it off, which is how I heard of the game.

Portal, Live

A cool real life portrayal of Portal by Ninja of the Night at Fanime 2011.  From their youtube page:

Ninja of the Night (NOTN) is a cosplay group based out of the Pacific Northwest, although its members are scattered all across the country. They pool their creative energies into producing and performing cosplay skits at conventions in their home region, and occasionally in other parts of the country. The four principle members are Kayla [BlitzAceTidus], Mandy [Nutcracker], Kathryn [Rynn], and Krystal [Sumikins]. They most often perform at SakuraCon in Seattle, WA and KumoriCon in Portland, OR.
