Nintendo Magritte Mash-Up Art


July 16, 2013 | Julia Dawidowicz

With its talking mushrooms, carnivorous flowers, flying turtles and neon-rainbow highways in the sky, it was only a matter of time before someone made the connection between Super Mario World and surrealism.

Super Magritte is a Tumblr project that re-envisions classics from the Belgian surrealist master in the 8-bit style of our favorite mustachioed Nintendo hero.

We love Racoonda (pictured above), based on Magritte’s 1958 oil painting Golconda (also pictured above). They’re all good. Good internet.
