<p>We’re often amazed by the talent within the cosplay scene. Recently, we saw that US-based cosplayer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/akellyz/">Akellyz</a> was featured on Gamer Network’s new <a class="external" href="https://www.cosplaycentral.com">Cosplay Central</a> website for his <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/borderlands_legendary_collection">Borderlands</a></strong>-style depiction of Mario himself.</p>
<p>The cosplayer wore the outfit during events in 2019 and was even crowned winner at New York Comic Con <a href="https://www.facebook.com/newyorkcomiccon/photos/pcb.10158271772795579/10158271740155579/?type=3&theater">taking home a cool $3,000</a> for his efforts.</p>
<p>When quizzed about the outfit by Cosplay Central, Akellyz had the following to say:</p>
<blockquote readability="13">
<p>Whenever you play a videogame, it allows you to sumerge on a new world. Thanks to cosplay, I was able to bring those worlds and characters into the real life. Mario’s Cosplay is inspired in a realistic and post-apocaliptic Mario bros. The creation of this cosplay took around one year. Starting with design, wardrobe and make up to continue with material selection, sawing process, prosthetics elaboration and props.</p>

<p>With a distinct lack of high profile events this year we’re sure that the talents of Akellyz and others will only come back with even more impressive outfits once ‘normal life’ resumes.</p>
<p>It’s a bold look for Super Mario, don’t you think? Let us know what you think in the comments below.</p>
