Do you ever dream that you were inside a Mario Game when you were a kid? I sure did and it was probably because of the many hours spent with my eyes glued to a TV screen as the little man controlled by my thumbs ran, jumped, skipped and battle baddies while trying to rescue a hapless princess. In this video German freerunners, Jason Paul and Team Farang, live out our childhood dreams by acting out a 2-D video game in real life! Trust me, by the end you’ll be wondering, “Wait, what? I’ve got to see how they did it!” so the behind-the-scenes is here too. Enjoy!
