Wielding the power of air superiority, the jets and attack choppers of Battlefield 3 rain down death and destruction at the whims of their heartless pilots. Slot a Super Mario remix tape into the onboard 8-track, however, and that speedy hunk of metal turns into a wedge-shaped boot perfect for stomping footsoldier Goombas. Check out the deft vehicle head-bopping in the video below — and yes, I've already saved everyone the trouble by trying this myself, blowing up next to a prone sniper five times and promptly getting booted from the server.
