If you saw Rihanna perform during Sunday’s Super Bowl and thought her platform looked like a stage from the video game “Super Smash Bros.,” you aren’t the only one.
The pop artist’s performance prompted a number of social media users to make the comparison — leading to a clever number of jokes and photoshops over the duration of the 20-minute break:
