Mario enters the real world in hilarious 'Grand Theft Auto' mod

Nintendo gave the world a glimpse of its upcoming game Super Mario Odyssey last week, which showed Mario running and leaping around a brand new setting for the Mario series: a real-looking city.

The internet thought it looked a bit like Grand Theft Auto with the mustachioed goomba-stomper as the main character, which is a pretty funny idea, juxtaposing the bright and fun world of Mario with the violent and profane one of GTA. Well that idea has become a reality with a mod the injects Mario into the gritty world of Grand Theft Auto 4, police shootouts and all.

It just goes to show that Mario's antics in the real world probably wouldn't be as well-received as they are in the Mushroom Kingdom.
