Google had a lot of fun with this one. An all-out contest [between the offices] of the best theme.
There would be two main areas - the classic Level 1 terrain and an underwater level. We took on this task with typical Google vigor — 15 yards of blue cloth, 5 rolls of saran wrap, 10 pieces of posterboard, foam, lots of color printer toner, and a few afterwork hours/weekends later, here are some of the results.
Just a little bit of what they did for their Mario theme. I did something along these lines back when I worked for CJ, but it wasn’t quite as extravagant as this was. But at the end of the day, it’s true: “…they say that a good work environment increases productivity…”
I felt this would be appropriate, so here’s some talented beatboxing + mario sounds.

Heh ! Awesome beats there. I dont remember the year when I last played this game.
From where I come (IP), gaming is considered a luxury. I am lucky to be born into it. Lovely world, saving the princess and jumping and killing enemies !
