Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan BugCatcherJustin shared a video of their playable mini level based on the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Using the level design and customization tools in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Justin was able to create the familiar layout and items of the 2D and 3D-platforming Super Mario games. The mini-game starts with one of the iconic Super Mario pipes transporting the playable villager character to a pathway loaded with spinning golden coins, a green Koopa shell, various decorative mushrooms, and interactive ?-Blocks. Players can even jump their way across a short platforming section before grabbing the flagpole and replacing the black Bowser flag with a red Mario flag.

Whether a future Animal Crossing game will ever include the mechanics necessary for elaborate mini-games remains to be seen, but for now, audiences are content to make as much of as possible.
