Seen @ Comic-Con: Bee Suit Mario Invades Microsoft's Hive
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 6:20 AM on July 28, 2008
Comic-Con 08 definitely wasn't lacking in cosplaying Jokers — all of the Heath Ledger variety, naturally — or cosplaying Marios. But a Bee Suit Mario spotting was truly a rare thing. This one, seen buzzing about Microsoft's Too Human dedicated booth, wouldn't let us take a picture until he'd asked us some questions.
"Do you know who I am?" Bee Suit Mario. "Do you know what game I'm from?" Super Mario Galaxy. Duh.
Obviously someone's never matched wits with a video game journalist before!

"Do you know who I am?"
Some douche who was dropped on his head as a child?

@marmidukestank: in his defense, it's kinda hard to make that kind of judgement when the person in question is dressed up as bee suit mario.
....or maybe it's easier?

I half expected him to say:
"Do you know who I am?"

I prefer the Marvel 360 that's on the same shelf as the Watchmen 360. I'd buy it.

You should have hurled a bucket of water at him thus depriving him of his bee powers.

You guys should have said, "Buck Bumble, obviously." That game was kind of memorable, a generic N64 platformer where you could fly I think. My memory hurts.

Strange. His body looks old, his face looks young. His watch says its 6:33 pm, but its not... He also pooped out a 360 controller out of his nectar ejector...

@savemeaquaman: It's sad that the Watchmen 360 was the first thing I saw.
Aside, the costume is good. Lack of.. well MARIO is a downer. It's just some punk who ate a Bee Mushroom.

No one probably took any pictures of him and he was surprised to see someone do so, and wanted to know if they recognized him.
Custom 360s in the background require more attention.

I didn't play Super Mario Galaxy, so somebody help me out here. Does Mario become sexually ambiguous when he puts on the bee suit?

This man speaks truth. A extremely rare sighting would be a Heath Ledger in a bee suit.

Wow, a lot of you guys are hateful beings, what's up with that?
I think it's a pretty fair question. I mean, they are at comic-con which isn't really about bees nor Mario.

Hey man, I would ask questions too. Theres alot of sick, sick people out there, I wouldn't just let anyone take my picture.
I mean come on, look at the picture. IF I was a member of NAMBLA, [www.nambla.org] why wouldn't I want to get my perverted little hands on a gem like this? Look at him...

When I was at Comic Con NYC this year, I was dressed up at a booth for Gothic Lolita fashion and I know a bunch of weird people took my picture. I kind of wish I would've quizzed people before letting them snap.

I don't think bee Mario is obscure enough to interrogate people.

The more I look at that picture, the more I bet that guy wears that suit for more than just comic conventions... probably just around the house and stuff.

@Channing: There were also people dressed up like Pyramid Head, the kid from Vandal Hearts, non-bee Mario, Raving Rabbits, the nurse from that game with hot zombie nurses...
I'm pretty sure he's not the only one to have ever worn a video game costume to a comic book convention and I'm pretty sure that a lot of people at the convention play video games.
