The 'Super Mario Cat in Real Life' video is a funny one that swaps out the video game's regular star with one of the Internet's favorite animals.
The video game hero gets a bit of a slow start and hardly shows much interest in the mystery item boxes and power-up mushrooms, but the real action starts when the video game enemies start to appear. Only then does the agile kitty leap into action, pawing at pesky Goombas and expertly leaping over spiked turtle shells.
It's quite popular for dog or cat owners to set up a camera and see what their pets get up to while you're out of the house and as the video's creator 'Mr. TVCow' humorously remarks, "This is definitely what happens when cats are left alone."
