This Guy Spent Four Months Recreating the TMNT Cartoon Intro in MARIO PAINT

Remember Mario Paint? The 1992 Super Nintendo game gave you the option to sketch and color images using a mouse, so Mike Matei spent a staggering four months using that technology to recreate the intro to the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series. Why? The better question is, why not? Take a look at the impressively-created video (the characters' motion comes across very well), and then let Mike show you in painstaking detail how he made this possible.

I'd say I was surprised that it took the internet until 2016 to get around to doing this, but then again it seems like an incredibly excruciating process, so I guess I actually can believe it took that long.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 cartoon intro remake animated with Mario Paint by Mike Matei. I chose Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because it was one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood. If you have any suggestions for other 80s / 90s cartoon intros you think I should do, let me know.
