In the early 1990's, the band Ambassadors of Funk teamed up with Nintendo to make a Hip Hop album based on games in the Super Mario Bros. series. These songs were later released on an album named Super Mario Compact Disco.

Release

While the album was only released in Japan in 1993, on March 21st, 1993. One song, based on Super Mario Land, was released worldwide as a single on 7" and 12" records and on CD and as of 2009, it is on iTunes. A promotional video was made for the song.

The video was up on YouTube for a while but was removed due to a copyright claim by Living Beat Records. However, the video has also been uploaded to other websites, such as Dailymotion. Images of the video were uploaded to Dorkly in a review of the video.
