By popular demand, we’re adding mobile wallpapers this week. Whether you’re downloading on the desktop or from your smartphone, the wallpaper title may be the download link. Splendid click or tap and hold down (counting on your platform) to put it aside.

Desktop

Let’s start with the standard-the desktops!

Freaky Fonts 8-Bit Wallpapers

a chain of awesome 8-bit wallpapers were once available on Freaky Fonts but they seem to have gone missing, so download them here instead. You won’t just get the Donkey Kong wallpaper you notice above, but other fun options from classic games like Bubble Bobble, Pac Man, and Space Invaders.

Mario Mushrooms

This wallpaper was created by DesktopNexus user userNULL , featuring the glorious sort of 8-bit Mario mushrooms and blocks. It’s a pleasing, simple option to pay your respects to the mushrooms that sacrifice their lives to power up our favorite plumber.

Two Girls, One Up

Raphael Sabbat’s desktop led me to a wallpaper I couldn’t find, but I did find the source image and just made a wallpaper out of it. So, here you’re…a Mario Bros. homage to 1 of one of the most disgusting internet videos every made.

Lifehacker Night School: The Desktop

We’ve been being silly with eight whole bits ourself this week, making graphics for our new Lifehacker Night School . We thought we’d make you a desktop to enjoy in addition.

8-Bit Dragster

A regularly forgotten gem from Activision, Dragster can now live to tell the tale in glorious black and white through this easy desktop by The Retroist .

Mobile

Now for slightly in mobile, where you may also have a wallpaper it really is an exact game.

Mario Live Wallpaper for Android

Why settle for a still image after you can make Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario World your actual living wallpaper? Inspect the video for a demo. It would drain the battery pretty quickly, but a minimum of you’ll be using your battery for something pretty awesome. Also, it’s free. [ Spletni dnevnik via Mashable ]

Sonic Live Wallpaper
