Welcome to Four Degrees of Nintendo Soundtracks:

Last month, Stephen Mlinarcik uploaded the above mashup of Run the Jewels and the Nintendo Wii Shop Channel theme. At the time of this story's publish, the video has about a 1,000 views, but I predict that number's about to skyrocket.

Anyway, the song appears to be a play on this popular mash-up of the Wii Shop Channel theme with Drake's "Hotline Bling." Drake's "Hotline Bling" was, depending on who you ask, either a ripoff or evolution of D.R.A.M's "Cha Cha." The central sample in "Cha Cha" is Koji Kondo's "Star Road" for the Super Nintendo classic, Super Mario World.

This is what it's like inside my brain.
