Imagine you get a gig wearing a Super Mario suit. Role of a life-time? Job of your dreams?

To promote “Super Mario Galaxy” you could be asked to take a Zero G flight with former astronaut Buzz Aldrin…

Or, to promote “Mario Kart DS“in 2005 you might be asked to hang out with Ronald McDonald…(second video after the jump)


Analyze these videos, people. Look at the potential issues of this trying job:

1. Do you wear the soft-cap suit or the hard one?
2. Do you willingly pretend to play DS even if your thumbs won’t move?
3. Do you let an astronaut play Juliet to your Romeo?
4. Do you play it low-key, allowing the costume to do the work? Or do you hold your belly and chortle?
5. If your assigned PR stunt makes you nauseous, do you take one for the team and get sick inside the helmet?

What do you do? And which of these two stunts has the better Mario? You decide, folks. You decide.
