Click here to zoom!

For a guy who doesn’t tend to say to much, Mario is rockin’ the wordplay in this original piece of art by my pal Josh Mirman! (Also a neat gray version here!) [via 4 color rebellion]

    Word.

    It doesn't get more awesome than that… Unless Word-Mario was fighting a Word-Bowser!

  3. Jet_Sparrow on December 5th, 2010 4:25 am

    Spread the word! Or is that Word-Peach?

    He also tried to make one for that green guy but kept coming up with Link and just gave up

    This is, in a word, epic.

    Mario Teaches Typography

    They say a picture's worth a thousand words.

    The link version I saw was a lot less impressive. The entire lower body was nothing but yelling…

    I imagine if this particular Mario used a hammer, it would be the ultimate Grammar Hammer.

  10. Hejiru on December 5th, 2010 8:17 am

    And here I thought Mario was a man of few words.

    MAGIC. FLOATING. MOUSTACHE.

    I guess you could say the artist…
    *Puts on sunglasses*
    is a real wordsmith.
    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

    Here's another influential wordy person.

    You could say he's a man of his word.

  14. UndeadLex on December 5th, 2010 1:11 pm

    Turtle Shells Cake Super Shine Get should be the name of the next Mario title.

  15. Alpar on December 5th, 2010 1:51 pm

    :U

  16. Illius_Nakarou on December 5th, 2010 2:28 pm

    WORD!
    lol

  17. Jimmy on December 5th, 2010 3:11 pm

    Along with the rest of your vital organs…wait, how'd you make it this far?

  18. KamikazeGible on December 5th, 2010 3:25 pm

    You can see Princess is written in his boot.
    Make of that what you will.

  19. Sir_Nox on December 5th, 2010 4:08 pm

    I can see this being turned into a rap.

  20. TehVortex on December 5th, 2010 6:51 pm

    You figure this is how they learn English at Mushroom Kingdom Elementary School?

  21. EJade on December 5th, 2010 10:31 pm

    if this were a shirt, I'd totally wear it.

  22. MasterLuigi452 on December 5th, 2010 11:48 pm

    If it was Luigi, the words are going to be like: who is that? green guy? link? no attention, and etc.

  23. CapnRegi on December 5th, 2010 11:55 pm

    Gordon Freeman was originally going to be the subject of the artwork, but it was hard to narrow down his best lines.

    Once you see it, you will know it's a lie.
