LEGO Super Mario provides a lot of fun in and of itself, but you just knew hackers were going to tinker with the toy and make it do all sorts of interesting stuff. That's exactly what hacker R1ckp on Twitter did, by turning LEGO Super Mario into a motion controller.
R1ckp messed around with LEGO Super Mario to get it to use its motion-sensing capabilities as an input method for a traditional video game. You can see the fruits of his labor above, where he uses LEGO Super Mario to play a bit of Super Mario Bros.!
