King uses hundreds of colorful [Post-It notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note) to make Mario go through obstacles in real life. Just like the old Super Mario video game, Mario gathers coins, jumps on turtles and flattens mushrooms. He also incorporates the ever-famous [Pac-Man character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-pacman-gaming-pixel-light) into the mix. A fun add on as Design Taxi points out is how "King has even inserted a hidden message in the the video that leads viewers to a password-protected page on his website, Final Cut King, where you try to beat his high score in Super Mario World."
