Name that Nintendo tune

Group of chirpy American singers performs "a bunch" of classic game ditties. Seriously, check this out.

US a capella group Redefined has come up with a medley of classic tunes from old days Nintendo games - and Mortal Kombat.

You can view their performance here - as well as enjoying the lovely music, you get to see them pretending to be Mario, Zelda, Tetris blocks etc. And there's a ninja in it.
