Mario Enemies Get Gritty Makeover

Super Mario Bros might not exactly strike fear into the hearts of gamers, but have you ever take a moment to consider how weird the enemies are? Artist Mike Puncekar created this awesome series of illustrations featuring some of the series’ most recognisable villains (and a few for hardcore fans too). Looking at the anatomy of some of these creatures, you’ll never look at the cuddly 8-bit classics the same way.
