Dancing with the Stars had someone who is actually famous on last night: Super Mario.
The ABC celebrity-competition show saw Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson and her partner, Mark Ballas, do a choreographed dance to classic gaming music from Super Mario Bros. But the show didn’t just rip tunes from series. Nintendo confirmed on Twitter that its long-time in-house composer Koji Kondo arranged an original version of his beloved bleeps and bloops for the show.
