Three years ago, Game of Thrones blew viewers away with one of the most iconic openings in television history. The opening matched the tone of HBO’s show flawlessly. Paired with an epic score, the show's weekly introduction to Westeros is a slick infodump so beautiful that many viewers overlook its informative purpose.
Now, feast your eyes on a chiptune version of the Game of Thrones intro set to Super Mario World, thanks to YouTube member NicksplosionFX. It’s absolutely brilliant. With the help of an 8-bit remix of the ubiquitous theme, NicksplosionFX has recreated the opening scene inside of the Super Nintendo classic, Super Mario World. Trees grow, castles are erected, and crowns are adorned with Yoshi and his quick-grab tongue. From Yoshi’s Island to Bowser’s Castle, the Mushroom Kingdom isn’t quite as vast as Westeros, but the parody is spot on.
