Hipster Gaming Characters

Artist Sam Milham has Reimagined Super Mario Characters as Hipsters

These hilarious drawings from artist Sam Milham show popular characters from the Nintendo game Super Mario Brothers as modern-day hipsters. The side-splittingly funny images show the gaming figures wearing young hipster male uniforms like cut-off denim shorts, suspenders and Polaroid cameras.

One of the most hilarious things about these illustrations are the captions. From 'She's in another castle, you've probably never heard of it' to 'Player one is too mainstream' and the guy telling his friend 'My mushroom are organic,' these short and snappy streams of dialogue hit the nail on the head with hipster bashing.

If you loved played Super Mario Brothers on your Nintendo as a child, you will appreciate these modern-day adaptations of hip Super Mario Brothers.
