Mario Spoofs

==Origin==
Before Brian created StacheBros, he owned another unspecified YouTube channel that produced live action videos. In 2008, towards the conclusion of that channel's existence, the BIG Stache purchased a green screen in the hopes of making high quality Mario Plush videos. He also ordered a Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Toadsworth plush to star in these videos.The result was a 3 episode mini-series called Mario Spoofs. This collection of videos is quite different than StacheBros' current work. The spoofs were created using a stop motion technique, where short video clips were compiled together to create character movement without the use of a human hand. This was one of the first of many techniques Brian used to make his plushes seem life-like.
==Donkey Kong -vs- Toadsworth==
The first Mario Plush video Brian ever made was entitled Donkey Kong -vs- Toadsworth. This short starred Donkey Kong and Toadsworth as they duked it out in a Super-Smash-Bros-styled battle. The BIG Stache's green screen work back in 2008 was much worse than his current work. The footage looked transparent, making the overall quality of the project rather poor. Brian used screen shots, music, and sound effects from Super Smash Bros in this spoof. Dialogue was conveyed through sound effects instead of spoken word, a style not used in current StacheBros episodes.
== Mario Shoots Bowser ==
The second Mario Plush video Brian ever made was entitled Mario Shoots Bowser. Unlike the previous spoof, this video combined sound effects and text bubbles to convey dialogue. The music was taken from the original Super Mario Bros for NES. As stated in the video title, Mario shoots Bowser with a gun after a short dispute: 
MARIO:
Get away from me you freak . . . 
[Bowser does not move]
All right, you asked for it! 
[Mario shoots Bowser]
== Break Dance ==
The final Mario spoof Brian created was entitled Break Dance. The video featured Mario performing different dance moves to a remix of the Bob-omb Battle Field music from Super Mario 64. Various screen shots were reused from the previous two episodes of the mini series. Beyond the music, there were no sound effects or dialogue.
== Behind The Stache ==
On March 16, 2014, as part of the Year of the Stache, Brian posted the premiere episode of Behind The Stache: a documentary series that takes a look at the history and making of StacheBros, covering different behind the scenes aspects of the channel along the way. The first episode was titled "Mario Spoofs", where viewers were able to take a look at the three archived videos outlined above for the very first time.
