We recently reported that Mari0, the Super Mario Brothers-meets-Portal mash-up-game, had launched.

Does Mario need a Portal gun? Well, no. Not really. He managed just fine in his 1985 adventure with only basic jumps and fireballs at his disposal. He can squash goombas and rescue princesses just fine without Aperture Science's latest, greatest device.

But is Mario better with a Portal gun? Take a look at our video and judge for yourself. Even pointless, completely unnecessary tricks are better with portals.
