Surprisingly, Mario thrives in the violent world of 'Dark Souls'

When Mario enters the world of Dark Souls, it turns out he actually does pretty well for himself.

Game modder JellyElite brought Mario into Dark Souls 3, set to the tune of the Super Mario Odyssey theme song, creating Dark Souls Odyssey. With his iconic red hat and jumping skills, Mario kicks all kinds of ass in the cold, dark, and violent setting of the Souls game, leaping over boss attacks and outmaneuvering enemies with ease.

Of course, Mario isn't invincible and gets stabbed to death a few times in the video, which is honestly a little unsettling.
