"Great news: You can invite the iconic video game character Mario to perform for you on the home screen of your cellphone if your handset runs Android 2.1 or higher.\nAndroid's live wallpapers can be kind of like non-interactive games, and that's exactly what \"Mario Live Wallpaper\" is \u2014 Mario runs around on the desktop avoiding enemies and leaping from block to block.\nThere are three visual themes for the levels, all based on stuff that should be familiar to anyone who has played the old Nintendo or Super Nintendo Mario games.\nThe game isn't pre-recorded, but it's not playable either. It's created on-the-fly using random level generators and an artificial intelligence that controls Mario. As cool as that is, we should note that it will basically kill your phone's battery life.\nThat's a high price to pay just for the cool factor, but who wouldn't want to at least try it out? If nothing else, it's a way to one-up those iPhone-wielding friends, since the iPhone only just now added support for regular wallpapers in iOS 4.\nWe've got two videos of the live wallpaper in action embedded below, courtesy of Android Central and Smartphonejunkie.\nVideo: Android Central\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVideo: Smartphonejunkie\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more mobile coverage, follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
