Well as promised, we have a bit of information regarding our latest fan art submission! Jon writes about how he created these awesome pieces of Mario Fan art:
They were really simple to make! They are constructed out of Perler
Beads bought at any hobby shop or craft store. Just simply find a game
sprite pattern of any video game character you wish and merely match
the colors with beads and iron! Place sticky side magnets (also bought
at hobby stores) and bammo Mario magnets!
Jon says he is also making plans to create some Mega Man and Zelda magnets as well, so we will have to keep an eye out for them!
Get those creative brains to work people, we need more Game magnets!
This is one of the coolest cake’s I’ve seen I think! It’s a rather large version of the old Nintendo Entertainment System in cake form. What more could someone want on that special day? Well a beautiful bride would be nice, but a giant NES cake? One day Timby…one day.
The third image is actually a different cake of just the controller, but I wanted to include it anyway since it’s pretty cool too π
It seems some plumbing business on 87th St. at 18th Ave., Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, has been banking on the success of Mario to promote their business! Not sure about the colours on Luigi or why Mario is walking towards a fire…but it’s still pretty cool!
Thanks to Metal Man for pointing it out to me, and here is the Source
What can I say about this awesome piece of art work! It’s amazing what you can do with an idea, some cardboard, fun foam, glue and craftyness.
A regular cartridge was too small a base, so I measured one and made a 1.5 scale replica out of cardboard, and screwed the gun to it. I weighted it with stones, and then tackled the shade.
I picked up a $2 shade at the re-store, a pack of fun foam, and voila! After hours and hours of cutting pixellated shapes, I was done! A little dab of glue to secure the shade, and⦠ta dah!
Since the creator posted the images this lamp has become quite famous and it has even been featured in Nintendo power magazine π This should inspire all you Nintendo fans to get out your sewing kits.

This is just plain strange! Apparently this video was lost for some time and was found in the attic of the American Board of Education.
I don’t know what to say about this video.
A bit of a warning for younger viewers, it is a sex education video so if you are under 15 or sensitive about this kind of thing perhaps give this one a miss and play some Mario Flash games instead.
