This is really awesome! Gege-Crochet sat down and made this amazing Mario Blanket for her Husband’s brother. Unfortunetly there were no patterns used so we can’t recreated this crocheted masterpiece, however this also makes it quite a bit cooler as Gege says this about how she made it:

“There is no pattern that I followed. I searched the internet for screen shots of SMB and then used them for the map I had in my head. There is no “master graph” for any of the panels, much less for the entire project.”

Well this is just pretty awesome. Some random person has taken the time out of their day to appropriately decorate a fire hydrant! My only concern about this is that the fire department may not know what to look for.

No Fire Mario here!

Jude Buffum came up with this amazing piece called “Mushroom Recession” that was created for the 8-Bit & Beyond show. I really love this piece! It’s a brilliantly clever way to look at the economy in a slightly humorous way, and extremely well executed. Notice how Mario even has 00 coins!

Mario should have seen this one coming! You can only jump on so many turtles before the turtles start to call in back up. Good luck Mario! This might actually make for an interesting spin off game…

I’m not going to explain this one. You either find it funny or you don’t!

I was browsing the net the other day and I came across myteespot.com and noticed they had a whole heap of awesome looking Mario T-Shirts!

I couldn’t help myself and ordered the following 2 designs:

The T-shirts are great, very comfortable and official Nintendo merchandise! Check them out if you are looking to Mariofy your wardrobe.

There may even be a little t-shirt giveaway coming for our readers…keep an eye out!

40 barrels of oil per day is currently being spilled into the gulf of Mexico! I’m pretty sure this is one of, if not the biggest, man made environmental disasters ever. Look after the planet people, no planet = no people.

Having said this, here are a couple of Nintendo images capturing the crisis:

Many thanks to Lee and Geekologie!

I really love this kind of stuff, bringing Mario themed furniture into your home is the sign of a true Mario Fan.

“A Childs Dream.” was the message attached by submitter Lissy (Many thanks for the link) and I think that really sums this up. What Nintendo loving child wouldn’t have a serious ball with these shelves?

Mario is one of those rare characters that can somehow endorse and sell any kind of product. From Mario pinball machines to Mario shoelace holders, there is something about that round faced plumber that just lends itself to commercialism! So what do we have here?

How many times have you caught yourself sneezing only to think “surely this could have been Mario-fied a little more?” or perhaps you have blown your nose on a regular styled tissue and thought to yourself “sure it was ok, but where is the excitement?”…well fear no more, your prayers have been answered! Thanks to my good friends Kallen and Lissy I am now the proud owner of some Mario Tissues! This 6 pack of Mario Madness was found in Fukuoka Japan and has traveled all the way back to Melbourne Victoria.
