We've seen a few flashmobs in our time, but this has to rank as one of the best. Nintendo Greece confused, befuddled and ultimately delighted hordes of shoppers by holding a get-together of Super Marios in a shopping centre.
The plumbers gleefully paraded around the various stores, drawing smiles from the assembled crowds.
The stunt was to promote the forthcoming launch of the Wii U console in Europe, along with - you've guessed it - New Super Mario Bros. U.

"Nintendo Greece Scores Bonus Points With Super Mario Flashmob" - NL
Agreed
Angela Merkel was probably watching this in horror as Greece spends its money on Wii Us instead of its massive debt!
props to you guys!
I would have been creeped out if I was there....XD but it was still cool
I kept waiting for something to happen, a dance routine or something... nothing ever did. Okay. No, I don't think this qualifies as "one of the best" flashmobs ever.
That was hilariously awesome! I wonder if most of the people there knew who Mario was?
If I lived in Athens, Greece I would've gone as Luigi just to see what all the Marios did.
This is very obviously NOT a flashmob but an orchestrated and professional publicity stunt. They are all about the same age (no kids) wearing exactly the same costume and have obviously been hired for the job.
MARIOS!!!
Gawd, It's a nightmare come true!
Hopefully the people of Greece can afford it!
Did I see a female?
