Mario: Everyman Hero Or Delusional Lovesick Addict?

Our favorite plumber's life goes down the drain in this SXSW film.

We’ve seen fan-made films depicting popular video game characters before.  Some rule supreme.  Some bite the wax tadpole.  Fortunately, this one falls into the former category.  Watch the SXSW film bumper that depicts the story of Mario in a realistic and melancholy way.  It’s the story of a plumber who acquires a nasty shroom addiction after becoming distraught that his girlfriend, Peach, has left him.  Can his brother Luigi help him pick up the pieces of his tattered life or is this truly game over?
