7 Most Amazing Video Game Tributes On The Internet

By Richard Revell /

6. Super Mario Kart

This wonderful piece is the work of some students for their final year project. They call it a parody, but it's more an homage to the great game. It's a bit rough around the edges, but as my greatest artistic achievement at school was a lopsided papier mache volcano, I am in awe of this. Stop motion animation is probably the most ridiculously time consuming art form around, and when you're doing it with live humans the amount of work that must have gone into this is staggering, especially when one player hits the star and his clothes change every frame. The use of Mario Kart 64 sound effects is spot on too. It's good fun, very imaginative, and has some excellent comedy moments too, especially when one player crashes slides across on his stomach and then someone uses him as a skateboard. A+.
