The recently announced Super Mario Odyssey brought on a surge of nostalgia to many millennials. However, Mario’s cheerful mushroom-eating/dinosaur-riding optimism is lost to a generation that has grown up to become bankers, lawyers, and doctors that face the harsh realities of adulthood every day.

Thanks to the marvels of the internet, this poorly delusional plumber gets summoned into a more realistic world of Grand Theft Auto instead of his fairytale-like depiction in Super Mario Odyssey. The visual parallels between the worlds of GTA IV and Super Mario Odyssey, as well as the music from the video game’s trailer, only add to the hilarity that ensues. We’re sure that the ever optimistic plumber learned a valuable lesson about what it’s like to face the harsh realities when he’s not in the always-cheerful Mushroom Kingdom, or in layman’s terms, tripping on ‘shrooms.
