An impressive video goes viral where the Artificial Intelligence (AI) of midjourney generates a series of super realistic portraits of the full cast of Super Mario Bros.
This platform, as we have seen in the past, has impressive capabilities to generate conceptual images with a high degree of detail. That is why virtually all of the art created by Midjourney is considered realistic.
And things get really interesting when someone asks him to recreate fictional characters with an impossible physiognomy for this world.
We saw one of the most twisted and recent cases a few weeks ago when a series of portraits showing the main cast of the saga of Harry Potter like babies.
Each of these images by its own force can be considered absolutely disturbing. But it is not the only example of the disturbing scope of this AI that can apparently generate art from everything.

The ironic thing is that up there is the video that viralized the portraits of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Princess Peach and all the rest.
We have seen them repeated hundreds or thousands of times on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok over the past few weeks. But the original video accumulates only a few hundred views.
Even so, the result of this subject’s work with Midjourney is still impressive. Particularly with the Nintendo characters.
Here below we share a brief gallery with the images that you surely saw in other media and social networks such as TikTok:
