Celebrate Mario’s 25th anniversary with Flipnote Studio animations

Make Your Own Mario Flipnote 25th anniversary artwork
Nintendo sent a call to Mario fans everywhere to celebrate the plumber’s 25th Anniversary by creating Mario-themed animations with the built-in DSi software called “Flipnote Studio”, which allows you to draw pictures and then string them together to create animations.

Nintendo opened the “Make Your Own Mario Flipnote” contest on October 18th and it ran until November 19th 2010. As is usually the case with these types of user-created contests, the entries that were selected as the winners are some truly incredible littles pieces of animation that are sure to bring a smile to your face.

What’s more, Super Mario creators Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka, and Yoshiaki Koizumi have also left comments about each one of the animations and tell you why they like that particular piece.

You can check out the Mario Flip Notes on the official Mario 25th Anniversary web-site as well as on the Nintendo Channel on the Wii.

As soon as they are available online on youtube I’ll post them up here. But they are definitely worth giving a look.

Now here is a look at some unrelated but equally fantastic Mario Flip-Note videos created using Flipnote Software like FlipNote Hatena or Flipnote Studio on DSi.
