The first video to grace BitFlicks will in a way set the tone and standard for the ones to follow. In that spirit it seemed appropriate to launch with a homage to one of the greatest platformers of all time: Super Mario World 3 on the NES. The BitFlicks style is a mix of stop motion animation, LEGO and CGI, all mixed up until the lines between each element begin to blur.
