Allow me to explain...
I got Mario Paint in 1992. My friend Tony used the premade stamps to animate Mario killing Yoshis in bizarre ways. Sometime later, I started doing the same. Over the years, these "tortures", along with cutscenes, were recorded onto a VHS cassette, eventually concluding in 2000.
The tape sat on a shelf collecting dust until I finally decided to digitize it. I cleaned up the video as best I could, although the quality is still a little rough. The file sat on my computer collecting dust until I finally decided to upload it here.
In all seriousness, this may be the longest movie ever made (almost) entirely with Mario Paint. I resisted sharing it for so long due to its excessive use of red airbrushing. But, I turned 41 yesterday, I'm not getting any younger, and the thought of this abomination being lost forever worries me for reasons I don't fully understand.
So, the heck with it... here it is. After being hidden away for nearly 20 years, I present to you: The Yoshi Torture Tape. With any luck, Nintendo won't see this and crush me like a bug.
P.S.: Try to find Mario and a number hidden in each torture.
P.P.S.: Thanks for the Front Page and Twitter shoutout! I always figured if there was one website where this belonged, it's this one. :)
This is so amazing. The art is really well done and the fact that your friend did this 20 something years ago on an ancient program like Mario Paint... with the SNES mouse? That's real talent. It's crazy and it's really cool. I really like the music renditions too and how fitting they are for each demo.
It must have taken him a long time to do all of this.
awesome
That's what Yoshi gets for committing tax fraud.
i LOVE it
I really like the love an how legendary this is
