The Pittsburgh Pirates showed off some PNC Park improvements during Friday night’s home opener against the Atlanta Braves, among them renovated club suites, new turf, 240 additional premium seats and LED stadium lights.
But none of that new stuff compares to this:
The between-innings game, called Super Bucco Run, basically brings the classic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. to life. But there actually appears to have been some grumbling about the new-look Clemente Wall, which since the stadium’s 2001 inception had featured an old-timey out-of-town scoreboard that featured actual lightbulbs. It was replaced this season by the LED video board and still features other MLB scores during play; between innings, it offers entertainment like Super Bucco Run, which lets you live out every single Super Mario Bros. fantasy you’ve ever had.
Bonus points to the first person who plays the game in red or green overalls.
