- Hi, I'm Alvin, and I love video games.
- I'm Joe and I love pizza.
- And I thought it could be a fun idea
to recreate a mini game from Mario Party
in real life.
It's called "Pizza Me, Mario!"
It requires precision,
hand eye coordination and,
- A giant pizza.
- Have you played this game before?
- I've never even seen the game,
I gotta be real with you.
I don't know what we're about to do.
- I guess it sounds like we should
probably go play the game first, then.
- Let's go.
(beep) (electronic music)
- All right, so we're gonna start playing
and this is on the Wii, so reminder,
you gotta have that safety strap on.
- Safety first.
- [Alvin] All right, who you gonna be, Joe?
- I feel like, would it be weird if I'm Mario?
(beep)
- If you're going to be Mario, I will be Luigi.
(beep)
The goal of the game,
you are assigned a topping and you need to get
at least one of your toppings
on every single slice of pizza.
- And whoever gets it first wins.
- Yeah.
Pretty much. - All right.
Easy enough.
- This seems like it's telling you to like,
do this,
flicking topping motion.
Is that how you put toppings on pizza?
- That's exactly how you do it in the restaurant.
- All right, you ready?
- Let's do it.
- It's pretty simple.
- [Joe] So it sounds.
- [Alvin] Famous last words.
Start.
(electronic music)
Oh, god.
This is hard.
- Just like in the restaurant.
(Alvin laughs)
One piece of cheese on every slice.
- Do you usually have four people making one pizza?
- No, labor on that is insane,
(cash register bell) but we'll disregard that.
- [Alvin] You got one more left.
Dude, you won!
- Nailed it. (electronic music)
- Oh, wow, that is crazy.
Okay, so to recreate this,
it seems pretty hard.
- There's a lot to do.
- We have to make a big rotating,
like, lazy Susan, - Table.
But it moves automatically,
- Yeah. - No one's spinning it.
- And the food.
- I can handle the food.
- Okay, you got it?
- I'll take care of the food
if you can make a table that spins.
- I will do my best.
All right, Joe, you ready?
- Let's do this.
- Let's go. - Woo hoo!
- Oh, god, the safety strap. - The strap!
(upbeat music)
This is exciting.
Alvin, check it out.
I got this giant pizza dough.
(Alvin laughs)
Almost the size of the one, exactly like the video game.
Tomato paste.
- Yeah. - Painted on there
so we have our individual slices.
- [Alvin] Uh-huh.
- And then we're surrounded by toppings.
- Wow.
- [Joe] Pepperoni, broccoli, mushrooms.
- [Alvin] Yeah.
- And the individual mozzarellas.
(Alvin laughs)
Just to add an authentic, as they are in the game.
- And so, for the set up, we have the camera angle set up to
kind of emulate the way that the video game looks
and we got the big pizza rotation in the center
and we also have these, sort of, stations
and these mats that represent the color of each player
and where they have to stand, so
I am very excited.
This looks like the game.
- It looks just like the game.
- Yeah. - Except,
we're not going to have two computer players.
We need friends.
- We do need friends.
- Let's bring in some friends.
- Wow, we're so conveniently placed right off screen.
- Hello, friends.
- Hello, friends. - Hi.
- How's it going? - Hi, I'm friend number two.
- What do you guys think of the set up?
- So, this is pretty impressive, honestly.
- Have you guys seen the game,
do you know what we're about to do?
- Yeah. - I have, yeah.
- It's gonna be very messy.
- Okay, so, ground rules if you guys
just need a refresher.
Everybody gets to stand on the mat.
You each have a bowl to your left
which is your assigned ingredient.
Everybody has to toss the ingredients,
only one at a time, (beep)
on the pizza.
- We're going to toss underhand,
(beep) like the Wii remote.
We're going to have to land on the tomato paste slice,
your topping completely inside,
(beep) not overlapping,
or on the white at all for it to count.
When you think you have all of your toppings on a pizza,
call it out, like Bingo.
- You guys ready to play?
- [Kelsey and Nichi] Yeah.
- You ready to lose?
(exhales)
- To your stations.
(electronic music)
(beep)
- [All] Oh!
- [Alvin] Oh, this is hard.
- [Kelsey] Oh, my god.
- [Woman] Three, two, one,
go! (whistle)
(beeping)
- [Alvin] Oh!
I got sticking a lot more than I thought.
- [Kelsey] Oh, my god, I got, like, two.
- Mine are all landing in the same spot.
- [Kelsey] Ah, shirt!
- [Alvin] Oh, what did I get?
- [Kelsey] Like, four.
- [Alvin] Oh. (laughs)
No way.
This is sick.
- [Kelsey] Whoa, okay.
- [Alvin] This is so hard.
- [Kelsey] I keep getting the same one,
oh!
Yes, yes.
- I have a technique now.
- [Alvin] I don't know.
What do you guys have?
- [Kelsey] Oh, oh!
Oh, my god.
Yoshi!
- Yeah, let's go!
Yippee!
- Oh, my god, someone knocked off one of mine
and I don't appreciate that. - Oh, you can knock it off.
- I'm missing the pizza board.
- Oh!
I'm missing, I'm just like,
oh, oh my gosh, no, I'm like, only missing on one.
(beep)
- [Nichi] Wait, I beat,
(beep) no, wait,
I'm not done, I'm not done.
- [Kelsey] I'm, like, one away.
- I feel like I-- - I think--
- [Kelsey] Done!
I think I'm done.
I think I'm done. (whistle)
- All right. - I think I did it.
Oh, fork, there's only one that I--
- No, you're missing that one.
- Wait, did anybody win? - Did anybody win?
(Kelsey groans)
- Mushrooms are close, you're close.
- Uh, can we get a line judge in?
Line judge.
- That's out. - No, that's out.
- If you cut that slice, the mushroom's gone.
- Yeah, see, he knows.
- Well, that's my only one.
- I'm missing three.
- All right, so this one, is this one in?
- That's out. - No.
- That's out.
Line judge.
- Oh, one more.
I need one more, so I guess,
- Spin it again, Sam.
- We're gonna go back and we're gonna spin.
(whistle)
- [Kelsey] I forgot which one it is.
- [Joe] I don't see it.
- [Alvin] No, where's mine?
- What do I, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
- [Nichi] Is that Bingo?
- I think I'm one away.
- I don't know, you gotta, (Kelsey screams)
(beep) you gotta call it,
you lose, you lose.
- [Kelsey] Oh my gosh, oh my god, oh my god.
- [Alvin] Which one am I missing?
- I see the one I'm missing.
I see it, I see it.
(yells)
- Shirt, it came off.
- [Nichi] No, no, no, no, no.
- Oh, I think I got it.
I think I got it. - Oh, I lost it again.
- [Alvin] I think I won.
- [Kelsey] It's too fast!
- [Alvin] I think I won, all right.
- You gonna call it? (whistle)
(drum roll)
- Let's figure out where we at.
Joe, let's evaluate you first.
- I'm very confident. - Count.
- One. - One.
- Two. - Two.
- Three. - Three.
- Four. - Four.
- Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight. - Okay, so Joe's got it,
but I think a lot of us got it.
- All in the same moment.
- We might have.
Nichi, you want to go too?
- Let's see.
We got one. - Uh-huh.
- We got two. - Two.
- [Nichi] We got three.
- I'll give it to you.
- That is in, that's so in. - That's in, that's in.
Four. - Yeah.
- Five.
- You're really toeing the line.
- That's on the line.
- Oh, sorry, well, four.
That's two.
- That counts, that's very close.
- Five. - Five.
- Six. - Six.
- [Nichi] Here?
(Alvin inhales)
(Nichi groans)
- I think that's out.
- I'm not gonna lie, it's a little iffy.
- Yeah. - All right.
- Yeah, all right.
- Kelsey. - That.
- Okay, that's, okay, sure.
Yeah. - That.
- Two.
- Three. - Three.
- Four. - Four.
- Oh. - Ooh.
- [Alvin] That's out.
- You guys are way crazy.
- Yeah.
- So you're missing one.
Nichi is missing one.
- I also would just like to point out that
everybody else's are pretty flat objects,
where as mine have a lot of dimension
that kept rolling and running off away.
- She always has excuses.
- How am I doing?
- [Joe] Let's go, pepperoni.
- [Alvin] One.
Two.
Is this in or out?
- That's, - Uh...
- Let's see what the other ones are.
It's on the line. - Three.
Four.
Five.
- I'm gonna get a little close here.
- [Alvin] Okay, okay.
- Oh, no, I give you that one.
- Oh, I see how it is, Nichi.
- I'm much more in.
- [Kelsey] You're the clear winner.
- Joe is the clear winner. - I think Joe's
the clear winner. (electronic music)
- So what do I win?
- Mario always wins.
- This is what happens.
- Mario always wins.
It's his game.
- It's Mario Party.
It's not Luigi Party.
Yeah, looks like Joe, Mario, has won, so,
(clapping)
- Woo hoo!
- I do actually want to see how it tastes
because in the game, they don't eat it.
They just make it.
- Should I go cook this?
- Yeah, I think we should go bake it.
- I'll go throw it in.
- All right, thanks, Mario.
(beep) (electronic music)
So, Joe, thank you for making the pizza for us.
- In my giant pizza oven.
- Yeah. - Yeah!
- That game was fun, you guys think?
- It worked. - Yeah.
- Very fun.
- That worked really well. - I want to do it again.
- I mean, a game that you can then eat at the end, like,
sign me up. - Nothing wrong with that.
- [Alvin] They look good.
- [Kelsey] Yeah, I'm very surprised at
what you guys came up with.
But also not surprised, because it's Tasty
and you guys crush it.
- I think the fact that you kept going made sure
each pizza has more than one of each topping.
- I think we have equal toppings on all of these.
- Yeah, it almost looks like it took us all
about three or four tries.
- (laughs) To land each, but why not.
- All right, shall we eat food?
- We shall.
- Let's taste. - All right.
- You want to cheers? - Cheers.
In the middle, bring it in, team.
Woo hoo! - Oh, there we go.
Cracker crust. - Oh, yeah.
(crunching)
- Oh, that's why we don't put broccoli on pizza.
- That's why we don't put broccoli on pizza.
- Not bad. - Mm.
- This is pretty good.
- I haven't stopped.
- Yeah, I mean, great work, guys.
- Well, uh,
this was fun
and if guys want to see more food content
where we make stuff from video games,
make sure check out my friend Inka's video,
she makes the curry from Pokemon.
It's pretty awesome and let us know what other
video games and foods you guys want us to recreate
or have fun with,
Let us know what you guys want us to do next
and we'll see you next time.
- Yoshi!
- Later.
That was good. (laughs)
- Thank you.
- That was very good.
- Been waiting the whole time to do that, so.
- (laughs) We'll keep it.
(funky music)
