Super Mario enemies: a lot of times you felt bad killing them because half of them were just happy little turtles THAT DIDN'T EVEN ATTACK. Enter artist Mike Puncekar, who shows you what those 8-bit graphics couldn't: the darker side of Mario's enemies. This is obviously a goomba here, but hit the jump for nine more, all of which are nightmare-inducing. And speaking of nightmares: I had one last night where a friend, under the pretense he'd found a missing shoe of mine, lured me into this basement and tried to kill me. God -- what a girl's willing to go through for a good pair of pumps amirite?!

Hit the jump for the creepfest.

Creepier Versions Of The Mario Bad Guys [buzzfeed]

Thanks to Princess Yum-Yum, who knows delicious when she sees it and agrees all these guys would probably taste like shit no matter how long you marinaded them. And to Paper AK, hands down the worst gun to bring to a fight. Unless it's a sword fight in which case, Paper AK > pen > sword.
