"Nintendo 48-Hour Wii U Video Challenge - Legacy" is a promotional short film uploaded to Nintendo of America's YouTube channel in 2013. The video was created as part of Nintendo's Wii U Video Challenge, an event held at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in which videos created in under 48 hours by various creators were showcased. This video was created by the YouTube channel "Broken Pixels", and serves as a rap battle between multiple video game characters and creators, including Shigeru Miyamoto and Mario.

Synopsis

The video begins with a man playing New Super Mario Bros. U. The man looks behind him and runs outside, noticing another man (identified in the lyrics as "Corporate Asshole") on the roof of a nearby building. The man then begins rapping. The video then cuts to verses from Link, Little Mac, and Mario, before cutting back to the Corporate Asshole, who raps another verse. The final verse in the song is rapped by Shigeru Miyamoto. The video then cuts to the short film's cast sitting in a living room. Mario walks into frame, and then talks to Shigeru Miyamoto for a moment. The video then shows a credits sequence.

Lyrics

• I don't have a care about adventure or discovery

The only thing that matters is investment and recovery

I could give a rat about your pretty color scheme

All I see is green, you catching what I mean?

You can take a screw to all your innovations

Guns, guns, guns, blood and gory animation

No imagination, DLC creation

Social desecration mixed with noob humiliations

• Who cares about score? I like to explore

You really think that people don't adventure anymore?

With your guns and your map packs

I think you've lost track

You see, my sack has four swords

That say you're gonna get whacked

Since my awakening, I've served to inspire

I fought with my dark side and kept my sword skyward

See, my fighting style has always been a link to my past

But it's the fire inside of my heart that will not let this pass

• What you know 'bout challenges?

Everything off balance and

Bosses running capers, turning confidence to vapors and

Everything they do, they end up owning you for free

I need to be like Mike T. and eat eat DLC

Please

I'ma punch you out and then instead of getting bitter

With the one-two-one

Put in work and get the glitter for the single hitter quitter, so

You can find the picture with your face down, booty up

Posted on to Twitter

• What's my name? (Mario)

No, it's Super Mario

Keep on talking trash and I'ma tell you this scenario

I'm gonna get my dinosaur, I'm gonna get my flower

I'm gonna get a million lives with all my star power

I invented side scrollers, I'm the reason for this industry

Every game you see now is embedded with my legacy

If you're getting coin, then you should pay me royalties

For each and every fan throughout the years that's shown me loyalty

• Ha, fools

Thank you for the laughs

Now let me get the powder out 'fore I commence the slaps

Spare me all your preaching, who do you think you're teaching?

This money, this power, it tells me I am king

The people of the world understand one thing

That's the buck-buck-buck and the bling-bling-bling

You innocence is touching, endeavors I applaud

But before I waste my powder, let me show you why I'm God

• I made the world of Nintendo in seven days

I created all of gaming's favorite heroes with my brain

First blessed you with the Kong, and the next day with the Bros.

Then I gave you Zelda's hero and the Falcon from F-Zero

And in case you forgot, next I fathered Star Fox

When you needed little friends, then I gave you Pikmin

On the seventh day I rested, I am the Master Quest

The next time that you think you're winning, remember...

I'm the best
