No video game is more iconic than Super Mario Bros. No text editor is more iconic than Vim.

In today's platform-packed episode of Veronica Explains, I try my hand¹ at playing Super Mario Bros, but using Vim controls instead of a controller. I'll also talk briefly about the history of Vim and Vi, and show you how to configure FCEUX to use whatever keys you fancy.

Oh, and before I forget! "Mario" and "Super Mario Bros" are registered trademarks of Nintendo of America.
