One of the most beloved video game characters of all time, Mario, has been the subject of some of the most iconic theme songs ever to be created. From his signature Super Mario Bros. theme song to his modern-day lighthearted jingle, Jack Black has brought us some of the most spirited tunes in video game history.
In celebration of Mario’s success, the popular meme band Ninja Sex Party recently released a music video starring Jack Black as Super Mario himself. The video follows Mario through the Mushroom Kingdom as he faces off against Bowser and collects coins while grooving to a fresh new arrangement of the classic Super Mario Bros. theme.
The video serves as a reminder of Jack Black’s greatness as an actor and musician. Jack’s created some of the most memorable characters in film and television, from his hilarious protagonist in School of Rock to his hilarious time-traveling sci-fi goofball in Tenacious D & The Pick of Destiny, to his raucous turn in Jumanji. However, his musical genius sometimes gets overlooked.
Jack is both a master of comedy and a master of melodies. His ability to bring energy and life to any musical production is undeniable, and this music video contains some of Jack’s best work to date. He utterly commands the camera, exhibiting his charisma and charm as he performs the now immortal Super Mario Bros. theme.
This music video is a reminder of Jack Black’s remarkable artistry, and a nostalgic trip back to a classic gaming experience. His infectious energy and memorable performance are just a few more reasons why Jack Black will forever remain one of the greatest entertainers of our time.
