We can understand the appeal of the odd Mario bauble or two at Christmas time, but kitting out the entire house with a nine-minute lights display really is something else. Amazingly, that's exactly what one homeowner has chosen to do this year and we can't help but be incredibly impressed.
The display has reportedly been set up in Haltom City, Texas, presumably generating countless stares, grumbles, and general annoyance from almost every other person living on the same street. The show comes complete with its own soundtrack, working simultaneously alongside the visuals, and Mushrooms, a parade of Yoshis, and even a flossing Toad can be spotted throughout.
We know you want to see it for yourself, so feel free to check it out below.
We've sat and watched the entire thing - for work purposes, of course - and it genuinely is impressive. Having said that, we'd probably get the urge to immediately move house if the people over the road from us had this going round and round in circles every night.
Do you feel inspired to recreate something similar for your home, before gasping in horror at the following electricity bill? Let us know in the comments below.

Quite inventive! But man, that power bill...
There are no words for this.
I want it! I WANT IT!!!
Merry Christmas to Mario & Luigi !
They are the colors of Christmas (Red & Green)
When I think Christmas my first thought always goes to a cartoon plumber created by people in a Shinto and Buddhist nation.
I see Reggie went all out this year with his Christmas decorations
You lost me at flossing Toad.
what. is. this...........................my god
Gotta admit, looks better than my tree.
A lot of people who do this have the sound broadcast over a weak radio frequency, so that people who want to hear it can tune in. So, the neighbors probably don't have to deal with the sound.
This is fantastic, BTW.
just wait till he gets the letter from N lawyers to cease and desist for copyright breach lol
This is piracy
@Dr_Corndog Exactly, the only thing the neighbors have to deal with are the inundation of cars parked out front to watch, and the glaring lights if you live across the way. But most people that hang these types of light shows only have them turned on for a few hours each night. And it's nice the local news broadcast it so locals and us can see it without having to be there in person. Really cool display.
That was cool. I love elaborate holiday displays. And having Mario included was just icing on the cake
Why is Texas so far away? I'd legit go and watch this.
Okay, this is epic.
Now I wonder if I can find a gif of that flossing toad.
You had me at flossing toad.
@Nico07 The flossing Toad really makes it for me. One of those "so awful it's great" sort of things.
@rjejr Just a star?! Lol do you have kids that mess with the tree? The bottom half of mine has maybe 3 ornaments with the top having double what should be acceptable.
I thought Mario and Luigi dancing together was epic. I would sit outside and watch this if I was their neighbor.
@Mamabear We added a few more after that.
Must have been a nightmare to program!
