This lovely Mario-inspired painting has been floating around the Internet for a couple of days, and thanks to Orioto of deviantART, who is responsible for the piece, we decided to delve into decidedly-different looks at Nintendo's flagship plumber. This week's community spotlight shines on all the other Marios who exist outside of the realm of Nintendo's Mushroom Kingdom. Take the guided tour right here, or jump into the gallery below if you are so inclined.Gallery: Show and Tell: The Other Marios

There seems to be some sort of morbid fascination with rendering a "dark" Mario world in various forms of art. Maybe it's just because I tend to notice them a lot more often. Then again, we never get a behind-the-scenes look at all the families traumatized by Mario's casual Goomba killing spree. "Behind the Controller: Goombas." I can dig it.

Needs more Masao (or various other creepily detailed renditions)?

I love the scenary on thefirst painting, it would be wonderful to see stages artistically boosted like these in a new Mario game.
Probably DSi/WiiWare or on a new Wii title.
