That's the concept for the Pacific Opera Project's reimagined production of [[Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart Mozart]]'s famous opera. ''[=SuperFlute=]'' (or ''Super Magic Flute'') retells the story of Tamino, Pamina, and Papageno in a completely new setting: the 8-bit land of the Mushroom Kingdom, where characters are portrayed by classic video game icons (Tamino is [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], Pamina is Zelda, Papageno is [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario]], and so on).

* AndYouWereThere: The teenagers and mother who appear during the overture are played by the same actors who play Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, and Urbosa. Even their actions foreshadow their roles: one teen (Mario) pops ''Super Mario Bros.'' into the NES, the one in green pajamas (Link) plays ''The Legend of Zelda'', the taller teen eating a banana (DK) interrupts them to play ''Donkey Kong'', and the mom (Urbosa) steps in to shut the whole thing down[[note]]Note that she specifically turns off ''Donkey Kong''; Urbosa/The Queen wants Sarastro Kong dead.[[/note]].
