Tonight was a great day hanging with family, playing Wii and just having fun. Toward the end of the night, after the kids were in bed, Sarah, Benji, Liz and I sat down for some 4-person Super Mario Brothers. I remember maybe playing this a few times when I was younger, but I seem to remember it being a lot less… aggravating.

Maybe it was the fact that there were 4 players playing, or maybe it was because people kept popping my bubble and I floated into things — hot lava, crushing spikes of death, ice fish… whatever. I’ll have to try it again sometime with just 2 players to see if there’s less dying and more jumping on toad heads.  :-)

In honor of the evening, here is a great little version of the song of the night… this dude is out of control. Give it a few seconds for it to really kick in…

Super Mario Brothers theme — ala “flute beatbox”

And after you’ve had a few, listen to this version.
