Mario a social climber?

Mario Gets His Oxbridge On - Rowing Plumber Vid Inside
SPOnG never realised that Mario was a social climber. We thought he was happy with his blue collar roots as a plumber, along with the fact that he's always off saving the world and suchlike. This latest video from SEGA for the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games seems to suggest otherwise, however.

Below you'll find Mario, one-time working class hero, engaging in the time-honoured sport of choice for scarf-wearing, funny bike-riding toffs everywhere - rowing.

SPOnG just hopes that by making rowing look really really easy (the assembled Gap kids put in no effort at all!) SEGA is trying to encourage fat kids to get on the rowing machine, thus reinforcing yesterday's positive message to 'beer and kebab fans'.

You can find out more about Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games over on SPOnG's dedicated game page.
