Mario's been plastered over near enough everything in his time, and now the moustachioed mushroom menace can add swimming shorts to that ever-growing list.
We decided it was worth slipping a pair on ourselves and taking to a marginally anticlimactic English waterfront to see how they fare. You can catch all the Baywatch-style exploits in half real-time by checking out the video below.
If what you see tickles your fancy, you can always splash out on a pair for yourself by clicking here.

.....Ew.
Also...video is private...too early I'm guessing? lol
The video is private! Come on, I want to see the Super Mario Swimming Shorts!!!!
the video is private and I want a link to get these ahah
oh thank god that the video is private.
my eyeballs and sanity are safe for another day.
The video is private? I am severely dissapointed.
Forget the shorts, you're lucky to even have swimming weather where you live
Private? I wanted to see how brilliant they look on you
Look at those milk bottles 😝
Apologies for the delay, it seems YouTube didn't want to play ball with scheduling. You eyes may now be soiled.
omg I'd give anything for more shots of Alex in shorts (and just shorts) <3 sexy beast.
For me he's the hot unofficial NintendoLife mascot <3
....Woo...
Yay, they suited him even better than I expected
this is why I love nintendolife
Well at least you kept your shirt on. >.>
I opened my phone's browser to check NL, and I thought for a brief second that ads had moved to the top of the page. Turns out it was the image for this article.
Well then...
Epic Alex.
So I'm guessing nobody uses the words "bathing suit" over there?
Liars! That is clearly not Britain! Where is the litter? The signs covered in graffiti? The bins set on fire? Plus the only way you'll get sun like that in Britain is with very expensive CGI.

Lol! But did the underwater eel get bitten by the awkwardly placed piranha plant?
I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!
And I was worried what the staff and punters would talk about with the lack of Nintendo games being released....
Great video Alex!! Thank you. I always enjoy your articles
I checked NintendoLife just now and saw this immediately. I haven't burst out laughing that much in a long time, thanks for that.
Alex+Mario shorts+Awkward modelling pose+Comment section=TOO.MUCH.WIN.
@AlexOlney you maniac... brilliant 👌
...My EYES!!...
I would only watch this if Alex was a south american girl and not a british dude.
The unimpressed duck made it for me.
Well, I feel violated. Does Alex shave his legs...?
I did love the random zoom-in on the duck, though.
Alright, just saw it...magnifique
Already ordered a pair as soon as I saw Alex in them it was destiny!
When can we expect the NintendoLife Endless Summer 2017 calendar?
I recommend lowering the brightness setting on your device before viewing.
...and forecast for tomorrow is rain and a high of 13C. XD
Great video! I especially like the running through the water on the foreshore.
Could you guys make a video of the NintendoLife staff playing beach volleyball, TopGun style? That would make my year;)
I wasn't expecting to review it so thoroughly....win
CLICKBAIT THUMBNAIL!!!!111!!
(it worked)
Very sexy, Alex!
This is why I love you guys
Ha, nice one with the Mario Sunshine song at the beginning. :]
Why...
They are really struggling for content. And in their defense, there is no Nintendo news
@Danrenfroe2016 nailed it
Maybe the video was kept private so we wouldn't see Alex's "lovely people."
@Jimmy_G_Buckets Alex is so radiant that no brightness setting can hold him back.
I'd love to know what it's like in Nintendo Life HQ on a slow news day:
Tom: "WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING!? ALEX, DO SOMETHING WEIRD!"
"Pardon? Err... okay. Like what exactly?"
"I DON'T KNOW, BAKE A POTATO OR HIDE IN A FOREST OR GET NAKED OR SOMETHING!!!"
"Woah-woah, hold your horses, let me jot these down..."
And so, the slow news day archive was born.
And I for one am a big fan of the slow news day archive.
Is that duck me @1:05?
ew vomits pale as vanilla ice cream with white on top
Bow-chicka-wow-wow
I love this site's sense of humor.
he'll put on the pokemon lingerie next. it's all gone rocky horror!
I say Alex managed to pull them off! Hilarious btw love you guys
@pandarino he does pull them off, just not on camera.
Unfortunately, In France, in most of the swimming pools, swimming shorts are forbidden. You're only allowed to wear boxer shorts or swimming trunks for health reasons !
Brilliant as always!
7.8/10
Too much fan service.
@AlexOlney Too bad Zac Efron has already been cast for the new Baywatch film, but maybe they're still looking for doubles/extras...
As for the shorts: too retro for my tastes. If they'd been full of elements from MK8 or Smash U though they'd be instabuy.
Dat top tier coverage !!
PLEASE make a 3D version of this video so that I can watch it on my 3DS. At the beach. Wearing the same trunks. GET ON IT!
It's lovely, as always Alex.
@RadioShadow Love the Pokemon reference there
