The Magnavox Odyssey was the first video game console sold to consumers. Its games are unique because they, to my knowledge, was one of the only instances when video games REQUIRE rules—that players could choose to break or follow, or even invent on their own. The Odyssey simply provided a few bright blocks that moved around the screen(with some variations), and it was up to players to overlay different maps or patterns on top, as well as their own imagined worlds and rules.

In this work, Super Mario serves as the overlay. You play as a block moving across the screen with no collision, no gravity, and no enemies. Are there monsters or a princess? That’s up to you to decide.
