Super Mario Meets Stranger Things: When Pop Culture Worlds Collide When we think of the vast landscape of pop culture, we often box characters and stories into their respective universes. Mario is busy saving Princess Peach in the Mushroom Kingdom while Eleven is tackling the creatures of the Upside Down. But what if these worlds were to collide? Welcome to a whimsical exploration of merging pop culture references! Mario in Hawkins, Indiana Imagine our beloved Italian plumber landing in the town of Hawkins. Initially confused by the lack of Goombas and question blocks, Mario soon finds himself teaming up with Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Will. With his unmatched jumping ability and their knowledge of the Upside Down, the Demogorgon doesn't stand a chance. And just imagine the fun Eleven would have levitating super mushrooms and fire flowers!
The Kids Take on the Mushroom Kingdom On the flip side, if the kids from Stranger Things found themselves in the vibrant world of Super Mario, they'd be in for quite the adventure. Racing against Bowser would take on a whole new meaning with Eleven's psychic powers. Picture Dustin adopting a Chain Chomp as his new pet or Lucas mastering the art of the Koopa Troopa shell toss. And let's not forget the possibility of Joyce Byers frantically looking for Will in the midst of a Boo Mansion.
