MarioProgressBar

The Mario progress bar for IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains IDEs.

A playful replacement for the default progress bar — Mario (or Luigi) runs across a brick wall for determinate tasks and a Koopa Shell bounces for indeterminate ones.

Determinate (Mario)	Determinate (Luigi)	Indeterminate (Shell)

Based on the Nyan Progress Bar by Dmitry Batkovitch.
