Forget Bunny Day and St Patrick: the most important event this week is the Off-Model Mario Championship, in which multiple mangled Marios will battle for the dubious honour of being crowned Weirdest Mario. Here are the ones who've made it to Round 32:
Climb into the Mario mouth for endless times of fun-having!
A Mario is a type of man with overalls, moustache, and hat! Red and blue are his colours! He plumbs many pipes alongside brother Lugi!
It's time for the saying of Mario's famous catchphrase, "one egg please"!
Sometimes he sits on the Yoshi! An event Yoshi dislikes greatly!
It is a-me, the Mario! Everyone's favourite uncle man!
Mario: a large friend, for you and me!
Voting ends tomorrow, 17th March, so it's time to cast your votes to eliminate another eight Marios. Which one would you least mind waking up to see hovering over your bed at 2am?

I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say grand dad. I'm not. You can't make me. Stop it. Stop it now PLEASE
These sum up March 31st perfectly.
Why must I have been cursed with these images in my head
They looks creepy all of them.
I am a simple man: I see Grand Dad, I vote (yes, I know it's actually called Fortran; let me enjoy my overdone meme).
Absolutely Brilliant work Kate!
Inspired me to use this photo from Chessington (I think)
Coin-operated horse Mario. No contest.
Why did someone paint a koala statue like Mario is beyond me
"Which one would you least mind waking up to see hovering over your bed at 2am?"
Don't threaten me with a good time
Super Mario 3D All Stars will perish on the 31st of March 2021, but the above abominations shall live on.
I think my favourite least favourite is vigilante kung fu Mario (left, second to last row)
The strange Koala Mario is my favourite. Utterly horrifying.
My favorite is actually from Nintendo — Lanky Mario in Super Mario Maker 1.
@PBandSmelly FLINTSTONES? UUUGGHHH
Thank you. Great content. This made me cry.
Thanks. I hate it, and will be sleeping with the lights on tonight.
(In Hotel Mario voice) NO?
What, do you guys not follow @******Mario? It's a daily thing on that account
The Mario kicking the hammer bro has Doom Slayer energy
Wow! These are utterly horrendous.
NINJA APPROVED
When you thought Wario was bad...
I only clicked because I thought it said "Beat Off"
I clicked the article having seen the headline and thought, “Huh, bet that’s Kate.” Sure enough....
@gutrippabear : Wario is the best kind of bad.
That Mario koala ride thing is PURE nightmare fuel.
My god! Mouse mario and the mario in that black and white image are horrifying.
This is just a slide show of a kids nightmare
Wtf is your problem, Kate?!?!?!
This is the most Kate Gray article that ever Kate Grayed
They all look really good. Off model?
The black and white one really does look like Josef Stalin.
@Franklin Came to say this, narrowly beaten!
So, today I learned about various kinds of Grand Dad, and the small pockets of the internet that he reverberates in.
I prefer all of them over official mario, but all Mario’s are beautiful.
Low performance model from Mario 64 vs jitter-squashed Mario from Classic NES series on GBA.
Thanks for giving me nightmares for tonight.
GRAND DAD?! FLEENSTONES?!
And I thought CD-i Mario was horrifying. Don't let Miyamoto-san learn about these horrors.
What are these and why do they exist?
OMG WHAT just WHAT the hell is going on with those abominations??? 😱
It’s hard to see through the tears. That is a koala?!? A Mariola??? Koalio??? 😂
Kate, I’m sorry, but karma is real and Mario will be avenged. Repent quick! Go watch the Super Mario Super Show or something. It’s too soon to lose you here!!
I'd vote for climb in my mouth Mario that thing is nightmare fuel.
Weren't Hotel Mario's characters not only officially accepted, but even praised by Nintendo? Or do I remember wrong? It's a bit of an odd one out here.
Wth...this is the real "miyamotos nightmare"! That Mario/kaola hybrid is the pure terror...look at the feet, why!?
Haha most of these are hilarious. Nintendo surely didn't endorse these...
Hey, that's super grand dad!
I have "Mario kicking Hammerbro" right here on my desk beside me. It's as epic in real life as in the picture. I'm planning to use it as support for my games.
Hey hey, it's 7 Grand Dad!
Somehow these are all still not more scarring than the old Mario Bros. Movie. 😬
