We all love to see a new spin on retro classics. It’s a great recipe for viral success – choosing something that a wide audience can already identify with, and making it amusing, engaging, witty or just downright crazy.
Super Obama World - how can you resist playing just one level?
Super Obama World seems to have been developed just as a gimmick by a bored Flash programmer who has a few spare hours in between freelance jobs. But this simple concept instantly brings a smile to your dial.
Why?
Because who doesn’t want an excuse to play a quick level of Super Mario Bros, right? And seeing Obama’s name replace Mario’s in that classic old-school Super Mario Brothers font, is just plain cool….
…so cool it makes me want to buy one of these t-shirts, even though I’ve no interest in US politics whatsoever.
Super Obama World t-shirt. The only political tee I may ever consider wearing.
Anyone out there who is looking for viral marketing ideas and has writers block…take a few notes from the above. Adapt a retro classic to something of immediate relevance, and (o)BAM(a), you’ll be getting more votes of praise than the latest US president!
