Well, here's a crossover we never thought we'd see.
Last month saw the release of both Super Mario 3D All-Stars on Switch and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on rival platforms, and both games proved to be pretty popular with gaming fans. One YouTube user has decided to blend the two, however, using Pro Skater's 'Create a Park' level editor to recreate some iconic locations from Mario's universe.
Both Bob-omb Battlefield, the very first course in Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine's Isle Delfino hub area have been given the Pro Skater treatment by IAN / Gunderstank_16, with all slopes, ramps, buildings and more intact. Naturally, they both come with some extra rails to skate along, and even though the games' colourful cast of characters are nowhere to be seen, both levels are instantly familiar.
Is this making you want to jump into a game of Tony Hawk? We suddenly find ourselves itching to pull off the very best tricks and flips we can muster while taking in the nostalgic Mario sights.

That's so cool! Amazing what people can come up with...
That is REALLY neat!
Hoping the lawyers will kick in soon. This sort of awesomeness should not be replicated.
All joking apart, they probably will get the vids taken down as they're using the official music sigh
This is absolutely amazing, well done to the creator. They're so accurate.
@sikthvash “Oh my god! Nintendo takes down EVERYTHING!”
🙄
Cool~
Kinda makes me wish for a Mario skateboarding spin-off or a skateboard mod for Sunshine...
@tobsesta99 stop rolling your eyes at me =0p Nintendo are a bit gungho / excessive when it comes to action on their IP. Look up some of the major piano covers of their songs on YT and they've got their lawyers to intervene and make them disable the audio. Happens all the time. Hopefully won't happen to these vids, but I guess it depends on exposure.
I put on a Mario hat once & I got a cease and desist. Had to shave off my moustache and stop eating pasta.
Don't tell Nintendo, they'll claim that this is "an infringement of their IP rights".
I gotta admit those are very cleverly done! Now I want to see Hadley's Hope from "Aliens" as a skate park...
The park editor in the game is surprisingly robust allowing shapes to be manipulated in a ton of different ways.
Wow this is so random
Comb 2 sweech plz!
They're very well created. I would imagine that even without the music, many people could figure out what they based on from the layout alone, and that's a testament to how accurate they are.
This is actually brilliant
I'd absolutely get this game if it would come to Switch, I loved Pro Skater 2 in particular back in the day on my N64 even without being able to save my game, it was just so much fun trying to rack up a lengthy combo! ...wasn't a fan of the bull ring though.
Cool how fans recreated Mario stages in this though!
I've used the park creation tool in THPS1+2 and can't even imagine the amount of work it would take to do this. What an accomplishment.
That said, having played THPS1+2 on PS4, visually it's not so far off that it couldn't work well on the Switch. Gotta hope those rumors are true. I'd definitely double dip.
Surprised the arm chair lawyers arent here, even if it is create a park editor 😂
incrível, muito cool.
dear Nintendo PLEASE TAKE THIS DOWN IT IS HURTING YOUR IP AND MY VERY WAY OF BEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE USING YOUR IP PLEASE PROTECT IT PLEASE PROTECT IT OR ELSE THERE WILL BE 500 GAMES ON STEAM TOMORROW WITH MARIO AND METROID'S FACE ON IT PLEASE NITENDO THIS IS URGENT TAKE IT DOWN!!!!!!!
@tobsesta99 I arrived at work and said “It’s-a-me, Mario!” and a Nintendo lawyer slapped me and I had to pay $500 in fines.
@PotatoTheG I can’t wait to see how many “whooshes” happen.
@TG16_IS_BAE /whooosh
Cease and desist from Nintendo incoming
The bomb-omb battlefield is definitely cooler, at least it seems like it's got a lot more to do. This is some amazing stuff, definitely want to skate it.
My “ahchoo” sounded like “yahooo!” And after a letter from Nintendo they now sound like “pffftch”
That is so cool
