Super Mario Strikers


For the past few days, I have become addicted to Super Mario Strikers. It's an awesome Game Cube Game that features all the usual loveable MarioWorld Characters, in the most violent and silly soccer game I have ever seen.

The game play is pretty awesome, and everytime someone scores a goal, there is a quick little cut animation unique for each character celebrating their goal, followed by a quick instant replay. Having been a Nintendo gal all my life, having grown up with the world of Mario and it's sickening cuteness, imagine my surprise when I saw the cut animation for the character Waluigi (Don't ask me where he came from, I'm behind in my gaming, no longer l33t, and have no idea when he was introduced).

His goal celebration dance primarily features him performing the international action for "Suck It", in all it's classic hip gyrating, crotch glorifying, well, glory. My jaw seriously dropped and I was rendered speechless for a good 30 seconds before I was able to even giggle over it. Even still, now that I've seen it 10 times over and find it halarious, something about it seems not quite right - out of place perhaps.

Regardless though - best cut scene animation sequence I've ever seen in a video game, for the shocking LOL factor alone. I wish I could find a video of it online to link to, so that all of you Game Cubeless kids out there could enjoy it, but finding this screen shot was unfortunately, difficult enough.
