“Super Mario Bros.” is one of the best known video game franchises of all time, and now everyone’s favorite Italian plumber can add a successful marriage proposal to his long list of accomplishments.
A gamer in Arkansas proposed to his girlfriend using “Super Mario Maker,” which allows people to design levels in the classic sidescrolling game “Super Mario Bros.”
“Hope everyone enjoys just a bit of our special moment,” the man wrote. “Geeks do it better!”
As the woman played through the level he had designed, she suddenly discovered that he had spelled out her name using blocks arranged in the sky.
As she kept playing, he had also spelled out “Will you marry me?” She became ecstatic and quickly accepted. The stunt went viral, even catching the attention of Nintendo, who celebrated the happy couple in a tweet.
Watch the video above.
