Ok - what building has those floors? Where is this design party on campus?

And what's the guy with the mushroom hat about?

All of those are Mario characters. The mushroom hat dude is supposed to be a Goomba. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goomba#Goomba

OK, I'm a moron. spivonious is right. It's Toad, not a Goomba. Still Mario.

If the universe has equilibrium, somewhere on the Nintendo campus people are dressed up as Clippy, Bob and the Master Chief.

Master Chief is the main character from Halo and, vaguely, to the Xbox consoles what Mario is to the Nintendo consoles.

I would love to see that photo. Someone with Nintendo connections need to pass on the word.

How does one dress up as a floating paper clip?

I wonder if the next Windows is going to have a Super Mario Land song played when you start Windows. Would be funny! Smiley

That's the third Mario brother. Nobody mentions him anymore after what he did to that box of puppies... Crying

Could it be Wario and Waluigi? But I'm not sure either!

OK people, C9 removes the trailing ) from pasted links, so keep that in mind. Both of the )'d links here are borked.

Wario's the one in yellow, but yes, it's Waluigi.

I knew a dev at Nintendo in Japan, but I kinda doubt he's still working there... that was more than 8 years ago.

The paper clip thing is going to be hard, too... except if it's multiple people Tongue Out

PS: Too bad that Windows devs are no longer allowed to implement easter eggs...
