There’s a time in a Nintendo Fans life when you go back to the well to see if there’s water left. If you’re still reading my philosophical first line, you’ll know I’m talking about the once “epic” Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Emulation System (NES). Coming later this month will be the New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii and we got some screens to show it off.
In lieu of babylinda’s post on the NES controller carved into someone’s skin, I searched high and low to present you with the top 10 Super Mario Tattoo’s around. Not sure, if these are Nintendo hostages err employees but they sure went the distance to show their love of the Italian plumber from Brooklyn, Mario Mario brother to Luigi Mario. Betcha didn’t know Mario’s last name is Mario… Anyone?
Built with over 20,000 pieces of LEGO, Super Mario still manages to look 8-Bit. Where on earth do you find “tan” LEGO pieces. Mine always come with the regular, you know; red, black, the green board, a hat, and instructions to build Rubix Cube. Weird!
It seems no matter how nice a rescuer can be, the rescuee will always put up a fight. Princess Peach “Thanks” Mario but doesn’t “Exhibit” her “Thanks” to “Him”. Too many “” you think?
To all those who waited till the day of to get their loved ones a ValentiMe’s Day card, print these out and maybe Mario will help soothe things over.
The 80’s were considered the “Love” era, and Nintendo knew that. These Valentine Day Cards were published in 1989, and I actually remember owning the TMNT V-Day cards. While I struggled handing them out during that time since I was a wee youngster, my brothers and I treated them as the Nintendo version of Garbage Pail Kids.
Check out the rest of the cards, which include Zelda and The California Raisins on X-Entertainment’s Valentine’s Day Special!
At the NYC Comic Con ‘09 this weekend I took a glimpse of the cutest little Resin Figures.
They are called Soopa Maria Sato and are made to resemble Mario and Luigi but only if they were adorable female Japanese women dressed up.They are from designer and artist Erick Scarecrow and are limited to just 25 pcs world wide. Since these “lil works of art” are limited, you should also know that they are signed and numbered by Mr. Erick Scarecrow himself. They tower only 6.75 inches and go for $90 a pop!
They come in all different assorted colors such as Mario red, Luigi green, multi-color , etc etc. I certainly would shell out $90 if I can get my hands on one of these guys. What a conversation piece!
