Hats off to daredevil Remi - the second entry in this month's 20 snippets of Nintendo-related online strangeness. There's simply not enough blatant disregard for life and law in the world of gaming fandom.
Next time you spot something similar on the M1 or somewhere like that, grab a video on your mobile phone and send it our way.
PLUSH INVADERS These fluffy 8-bit tributes are called bitz pixellated palz - perfect for your belated celebrations of Space Invaders' 30th anniversary (or early celebration of the 31st). Link
THE REAL MARIO KART Marvel at some super daredevil antics as a fearless French guy dons the Mario suit, hops in a kart and heads onto the open road to play with the traffic. Link
RETRO3D With any luck some game designers have been studying these stunning 3D images. Expect to see at least a couple of games with a similar artistic style popping up over the next year or two. Link
HEMP-MOTE Nintendo could finally earn a bit of approval from environmental charities if they replaced their toxic white plastic with planet-saving hemp. No more sweaty remotes flying out of careless hands either - that stuff looks grippy! Link
WII SMASH Remote goes through screen - again. The great thing about this video is just how upset the unfortunate guy is after destroying his lovely LCD. Ahh, schadenfreude. Link
ART OF MARIO This brilliant picture is made by compositing various images and painting over them digitally to give a consistent look. It's like a sneak peek at a Wii 2 game. Link
MII BUSINESS CARDS For just 150 Nintendo points you can get a set of custom business cards emblazoned with your Mii face - if you live in Japan. Hopefully they'll bring this idea to other territories some day (but don't count on it). Link
MARIO SHOES Brilliant or horrible? We couldn't quite decide, and opted not to put in a bid for these customised shoes, as sold on eBay. Just as well, because they went for over $100 - that's more expensive than all the NGamer team's shoes put together!
HOUSEHOLD GAMES Assorted retro gems remade using household items such as pizzas, salt shakers and unidentifiable bits of coloured stuff. We thoroughly approve of the massive amount of time wasted to make this video.
SONY DS MOD For everyone who's ever wondered if the DS would look nicer rebadged as a Sony Vaio PC, here's your answer - it doesn't. But the effect is very convincing, and this skilled Japanese modder has interesting step-by-step photos of the whole process on his website. Link
FF DSI We're looking forward to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes Of Time even more now that its official limited edition DSi has been unveiled. Link
MARIO DRUMMER It's testament to the talent of Nintendo's in-house musicians that so many people want to recreate their classic themes on all manner of unsuitable instruments. Actually, this one sounds pretty good. That's some quality drumming. Link
UNREALISTIC ZAPPER A far safer, cheaper and healthier option than the full mp5 treatment (below), this is a truly disposable gun that also counts for one of your five a day. Link
REALISTIC ZAPPER Convert your Wii remote into something that might get you shot by a police sniper if a passer-by ever saw you waving it in your front room. Instructables.com has the how-to. Link
MINI N64 While hacked-up portable consoles aren't exactly unusual these days, this one is noteworthy for being so perfectly tiny. How can you fit an N64 inside that case? It's so small, it doesn't even have room for batteries. Oh, right... Link
WII RC Ever wondered if the balance board would be the perfect way to steer a remote control car? Watch these two guys trying in vain to make the thing drive in a straight line before you embark on that Wii RC project you've been considering. Link
SONIC JEWELLERY Here's Sonic chasing three gold rings around your neck - what more could you want! Although this piece of bling might not be the next must-have summer buy - the artist behind the design warns buyers not to wear the necklace in a rainstorm in case it disintegrates. Link
SNES WALLET NGamer chief art monkey Andy is fond of buying utterly impractical wallets for ridiculously high prices. Unlike his trendy Japanese plastic efforts, this one will actually store UK-size bank notes plus it has flashing lights and makes a noise when you open it. Read the instructions if you fancy making your own, then put an £80 price tag on it and flog it to Andy. Link
GAME BOY LIGHT Although you can pick up the once desirable Game Boy Pocket Lite on eBay for next to nothing now, somebody has chopped up a standard pocket and created a brilliant LCD backlight hack. If only he'd thought of it 12 years ago. Link
GADGET ORCHESTRA Enjoy the sweet harmonies of Electroplankton, the DS-10 synth, something on an iPhone and a Korg Kaossilator, all hooked up by a web of headphone cables and played in real time with fingers and stylus. Link
