For all us tragically nostalgic kids who owned one of the first Nintendo game systems and who's voices changed not because of puberty but from blowing into game cartridges and screaming endless hours at the Koopa Troopas, here's a guitar virtuoso who feels our pain.This is a priceless video clip I caught over at haha.nu of an Australian guy named Zack Kim playing the original Super Mario Brothers Theme on two guitars simultaneously using a finger-tapping technique that would make Eddie VanHalen proud as a pickled herring.
Check out his site for loads of links to similar videos he's made (including other video game themes!).
***Edit!***
Awe, screw it. Here's a few more unique samples of the Mario theme I found on YouTube after posting Zack Kim's. Enjoy!

My Mind. She is blown.
what genre is the smb theme anyway? it sounds like it should be alike...a calypso?
Are there only two lines (voices) at any one moment? and do we fill in the harmony ? It is a majestic example of catchyness. That composer should start a rock band and all other rockbands would just implode from too much catchyness.
