Stan Van isn't the most athletic guy, but who needs athleticism when you have mushroom and star power? Plus, he's got the most important Mario characteristic - a sweet stache.

Unfortunately for the Packers, Rodgers has spent a good portion of 2013 looking like Luigi on the sidelines.

It's probably safe to assume that Vonn gets anything she wants - Princess complex.

The Vikings' owner has that crazed Wario-like look in his eyes.

Blackistone is a solid sports commentator and personality for ESPN. If he ever needs a second job, he can be a stunt double for Koopa Troopa.

Woodhead is known as the poor man's Darren Sproles in the world of fantasy football. In the world of Mario, he's a perfect Toad.

There's no one else in the world of sports that's better suited to be Yoshi than Chris Bosh. If Jurassic Park ever needs another velociraptor, he'd be great for that role too.

Bower is a bad dude, so naturally he has to re-cast with one of the most hated athletes in all of sports.

Donkey Kong - Blake Griffin

@Roasted69-USA-Today-Sports

Just like DK, Griffin can jump a mile high. But the real question - can DK dominate a KIA Optima commercial like Griffin?

Waluigi - Rollie Fingers

A wicked stache is a must to play Waluigi, and former MLB star Rollie Fingers sets the standard for that.
