Food's pretty great, isn't it? Like, sure, we're here to talk about Nintendo games and they're pretty wonderful too, but we wouldn't say no to a good, hearty fry up right about now. Can you tell we haven't had breakfast yet?
Well, thankfully, those two wonders of the world have now become one thanks to this incredible fan-made charcuterie board. The culinary delight you see before you was created by Casey Ligon, an Instagram user who shares plenty of creative works online from food styling to stop motion and more.
We're not sure we've ever wanted to eat Mario before, but we guess there's a first time for everything. We can spot cheese, peppers, strawberries, chocolate, and even some Smarties thrown in – make sure to scroll through the post below for some close-ups.
"I just finished playing Super Mario 3D World + Bowsers Fury and got inspired to make this charcuterie board," Casey says. "I now desperately need a cat suit so I can go full kaiju and stomp around my house every day."
Perhaps we'll start with his nose, before having a quick nibble of his chin... Oh, sorry, we're supposed to mention something about leaving a comment below at this point, aren't we? Go on, then.

It looks too good to be eaten.
Very creative!! I could never do something as clever as that!!
(But... where's the meat? Charcuterie by it's very definition is cooked meat.)
So they killed him and chopped him up into food. Typical Nintendo
@Rambler the darker brim of the hat looks like pepperoni or some kind of cured sausage
Very impressive. Stretching what charcuterie is with the strawberries, chocolate and smarties, but impressive nonetheless!
What's not to love when you have chocolate chips, gouda, strawberries and cold cuts all at the same time
@Bunkerneath
Ooh, it does, doesn't it? Next to some... Strawberries?!? That's an interesting taste mix
I was wondering what type of charcuterie is blue, brown and yellowish. To be precise, it's a Mario with about 5% charcuterie.
Adorably colorful!
But, for some reason, the chocolate callets rubbing up against the salami gives me a queezy feeling. :s
This article should have been prefaced with a trigger warning for those squeamish about explicit images of autopsies!
R.I.P. Mario
now THAT's something i can race around
@Bunkerneath I'd say it's sundried tomatoes, definitely not sure though. I strongly hope it to be that way. Not that I'd copy this, but if I did, it's what I'd use for a darker shade of red, an interesting taste to add, and no animals dead.
@Pod I think you can rest easy knowing it's crackers. Again, I'm not sure.
Oh lord I saw this. There’s something strangely horrifying about it.
cool! Kinda creepy, but cool nonetheless
C&D from Nintendo in 3...2...
Isn't he supposed to be dead?
@nessisonett probably the fact that it's a recreation of mario's face using corpses?
@avictorao That’s true actually. Dead animals. Gross.
@nessisonett
Better than being made from live animals...
(It's practically meat-free apart from that one eyebrow)
@Bunkerneath Yeah. For sure, it’s a meat Mario. Mamma-Mia.
