Thor Bjorn Thorlei Aackerlund (born January 4, 1977) is a competitive video gamer. He was one of the winners of the 1990 Nintendo World Championships, for which he was bestowed a Mario trophy. Soon after the competition, Camerica, a producer of unlicensed Nintendo Entertainment System games, signed a deal with Aackerlund to make him the official spokesman for their games.
He is a featured player in the 2011 documentary film Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters, which covers his second effort in competitive video gaming at the 2010 Classic Tetris World Championship.
