MIT Gets A Mario Hack

mitbanner.jpg Via normalroach, we have pictures of a Mario-related hack perpetrated at MIT this week, a smaller version of a hack in the grand tradition of previous hacks that have included the Vannavar Shrubbery room, 'One Ring To Rule The Dome', and even an R2D2 dome hack.

This time round, there were Mario characters dotted all the way round 'Little Dome', vines, chasms, a pipe spewing out Mario, and even a scientific Mario high score table. And, as the documentee notes: "Unfortunately, one of the coolest parts of the hack was impossible to capture with a photograph. As I walked into Lobby 7, camera in hand, ready to document the hell out of MITMarioWorld, I was met with...music. The Mario theme was resonating throughout Lobby 7." Fun, half-baked stuff.
