Mario Speedrun Like Nothing You’ve Seen Before
The ingenuity of fans – especially those dedicated to the longtime franchise – never ceases to amaze us. Combining a hefty dose of creativity, some camera equipment, and an impressive understanding of the post-production process, recent graduate Andreas Heikaus put together a Bachelor thesis worthy of admiration. Check out his Super Mario Bros. speedrun below.

Heikaus – just out of University in Germany – specializes in Photoshop, After Effects, Maya, and Boujou. The Mario speedrun was part of his Bachelor thesis at the University of Applied Science and Art in Hannover, constructed under the parameters of blending CG and live-action footage.
It’s worth checking out some of Heikaus’ other work via his Vimeo channel, which includes a music video staring dancing Storm Troopers and a reel showcasing some of his prior projects.
Congratulations Andreas. Hopefully we’re not the only ones who’ve taken notice of your impressive work.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
