Mario Becomes Indiana Jones in THE TEMPLE OF SHROOM Art
Mario loves collecting coins by busting through bricks, so if you were forced to come up with a connection between him and Indiana Jones, I suppose the easiest one to draw would be that in a sense, they both could be seen as treasure hunters. Indy's motives may be a little more pure ("it belongs in a museum" is a frequent catchphrase of his, after all), but they're both just regular, working guys who overcome incredible odds in order to achieve their goals.
It seems that artist Jayson Hotchkiss finds some sort of connection between the two, since he's created this mash-up piece of art entitled "The Temple of Shroom" that features Mario in full-on archaeologist mode. On his DeviantArt page, he says this is actually a coloring of a tattoo commission, so someone out there loves this image enough to have it permanently inked on his or her body. What do you think about it?
