9. Will You Save Your Son?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSm1Rn7Prcs ID: C046-0000-003F-3825 This brilliant level attempts to tackle that most powerful of topics through the medium of Mario, and is best appreciated with its creator giving a running commentary throughout the whole thing. Watching this video, you'll be confused about whether to take it as seriously, as the narrator's voice and sombre Heavy Rain music certainly push you one way. But when it gets to the point of Mario sending a terrified Yoshi - begging for his help - plummeting into the lava, all that tension is removed and you'll most likely burst out laughing. Does that make you or me a bad person? Probably, but come on... Yoshi Flambé!
