The Virgin Princess Peach

Our Mother of Video Games. She's a perfect fit for all the Last Supper parodies that keep showing up around here. Of course in those she is often sitting in the place of the Apostle John (or Mary Magdelene if you believe Dan Brown.) Still, she could still be Jesus Mario's mom - it would explain why he's so desperate to rescue her. (From Kotaku, via Geekologie)
