Mario Warfare Trailer Shows Us Mushroom Kingdom Under Fire

What would happen if someone took equal parts Super Mario Bros., Call of Duty, and added a touch of the movie Equilibrium? That’s clearly what the good folks at Beat Down Boogie wanted to know. They’ve long been at work on Mario Warfare, which is exactly what it sounds like, and have finally released a rather polished looking trailer. The cast of characters seem to be entirely drawn from Mario, but the tone the video sets is unmistakably Call of Duty. Plus, they have what appears to be Toad doing gun kata.
