Found a neat little article showing how Conan's design team took super mario and used it as his backdrop on the new late night

I have to admit, thats pretty awesome 
With the fairly simple geometric shapes that make up the mario world in those games it's easy to put that onto anything the way they've done it...
Seems like they've just randomly placed pieces from the game wherever they saw fit and I don't really recall the sky having that kind of japanese sun/clear cut color change in the game... Might be wrong though.
Still.. I got more of a bioshock feeling from it than mario. =P
