10 Biggest WTF Moments In Super Mario Games

7. Seeing Skinny Mario In Mario Maker

This one may not be as overtly shocking as some of the other entries on this list, but it's equally as strange. Mario's sprite from the original Super Mario Bros is one of the most iconic ever created. Much has been said by Mario's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, about the creation of this sprite - like the fact that the only reason he has a moustache is in order to make his nose and mouth more easily distinguishable.

Fans of Mario have a very clear understanding of what that sprite looks like, so seeing it in any way change is just...odd. Especially when it's within an official Nintendo game. Grabbing the skinny Mushroom in Super Mario Maker stretches Mario to new, surreal heights, giving him long limbs and a long torso like an actual person. It's also creepy as hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF5naC5qWUs
