Mario Looks Pretty Awesome in Unreal Engine 4

Fans have been throwing all kinds of things into Unreal Engine 4, but with the most recent update (version 4.8), we’ve also seen the iconic Nintendo mascot being integrated into the engine.

Featured above, you can view a gameplay video of a re-created Mario, who is played through a variety of environments that were assembled using assets from the Unreal marketplace. The developer behind this, Aryok Pinera, has stated that all of Mario’s animations and textures have been re-created from scratch.

While this is definitely not indicative of an all-out Super Mario project, it’s certainly interesting to see developers tinkering with iconic (and legally protected) icons in pet-projects like this.
