What's Your Favorite Mario Game?
For some crazy reason I've been craving a good Super Mario Brothers 3 games session! I haven't played since I had to sell my NES to get my hands on a N64, so instead of just downloading the game onto my Wii's Virtual Console, I've been spending a bit more time than usual on eBay searching for an old system and copy of the game (what can I say, I'm nostalgic) to whisk me back to simpler times.
Since me and the plump plumber have had a long-standing relationship, I wanted to see how many of you heart the little Italian man and all the trouble he gets into.
How-To: Make Your Own Mario Star Nano Case
I've featured some cool DIY projects, as well as some interesting iPod cases on the site before, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like this mashup! I caught this How-To on Crafty Crafty yesterday morning, and thought that if you were as much as a Mario fan as I am, that you'd flip over this adorable Mario Super Star Nano case, too. Although I've yet to try my hand at the project, I've certainly got it on my to-do list for the next time I'm stuck indoors, and will be keeping an eye out for some bright yellow felted fabric on my next trip to the fabric store!
Power Up and 1-Up Mushroom Slippers: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Along with all the crazy costumes and comics at WonderCon, there were some fun and interesting products, too.
Take these Super Mario Mushroom slippers for example. Personally, Mario is pretty close to my heart and I still do a little geek gasp whenever I see characters from the classic Nintendo game etched on a tee, pillow or even edibles.
Edible Geek: Nintendo Mushroom Sours
I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't love a set of Nintendo Mushroom Sours this holiday season.
They're the perfect gift for the hardcore fans that have Super Mario clocks on their desktops and Plumber costumes in their closets, but they're also sweet for those casual gamers that have a soft spot for those magic mushrooms.
The set includes three tins with red cherry, green apple and blue raspberry flavors.
Edible Geek: Super Mario Cupcakes
Could these edible geek cupcakes be any more picture perfect? With the recent release of Super Mario Galaxy, I can't think of a better excuse to indulge with some Super Mario cupcakes covered with ghosts, stars, mushrooms, man-eating plants, gold coins and Mario himself. The gaming gods at Kotaku showcased these fine pastries which were displayed on flickr.
Super Mario Galaxy Review: We Aren't in Mushroom Kingdom Anymore!
I was never so happy to see Super Mario Galaxy land on my desk Friday afternoon, knowing that I would have all weekend (and I do mean ALL weekend) to play and bask in the glory that is Super Mario. Not since 2002 in Mario Sunshine, have we met up with the pint-sized powerhouse, and it was good to catch up with an old buddy. Rushing home to get my first taste of one of the most anticipated games all year, I finally settled in for a serious Mario Marathon.
Super Mario Galaxy Teaser Video
Super Mario Galaxy is set to hit stores in Japan on Nov. 1 and the US on Nov. 12, and is currently the most preordered Wii software title, with 700,000 in Japan, and 400,000 in the US.
Plumber Costume: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
With Halloween coming up I decided to do some internet research to find fun, geeky costumes. The first noteworthy and geeky character I thought of was everyone's favorite video game character, Mario. I was soon treated to this Plumber Costume.
Mario Kart Phone and Alarm Clock: Geek or Geek Chic?
I've always been shocked by the shortage of fun Super Mario and Mario Kart items out there considering people seem to know everything there is to know about the Bros. and they seem to be at the top of everyone's favorite video game list. The Mario Kart Phone and Alarm Clock may not be the most sophisticated video game gear ever, but they are cute and would be fun for all the little geeks in our lives.
