TheJune Nintendo Directshowed off plenty of surprises including anew 2D Mario game called Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
And while the new Mario game looks lovely, it ended with a showstopper: Elephant Mario.
We have seen approximately 1.5 seconds of Elephant Mario and we are ready to die for him.
Now to be clear, Mario has donned animal-themed suits lots of time in the past.
Raccoons, frogs, penguins, even kitty-cats as immortalized in the recent Super Mario Bros. Movie.
But all of those suits are just that: suits.
They uniformly look like Mario putting on a pair of footie pajamas.
Elephant Mario is different.
This isn’t Mario in an elephant suit.
This is Marioas an elephant.
Like an elephant happened to find 10XL-size overalls and grew out a beautiful mustache.
Just look at this thicc king.
For obvious reasons, Elephant Mario was an instant sensation.
He immediately inspired Twitter reactions, Photoshops, and some shockingly speedy fan-art.
