Twenty Mario GIFs To Power Up Your Tuesday

For most of the world, Mario is the video game character: He's more recognizable to children than Mickey Mouse and has anchored some of the greatest games to ever grace the medium.

On the other hand, what with the shy ghosts and the turtles and the constant consumption of mushrooms, Mario's universe is also a little... weird.

So, to celebrate the fat plumber, and occasionally his kidnap-prone girlfriend and his put-upon bro, we've assembled a collection of Mario GIFs for your workday enjoyment.
