The bottom of your feet are ultra-ticklish for a reason. They are very, very sensitive. So, I imagine this tattoo hurt a considerable amount. The soles of your feet have got to be a tender area.

Regardless, this gaming geek was hardcore enough to have Mario and Luigi partaking in a round of fisticuffs, tattoo-style, on the bottom of their feet, one gaming icon per foot. I’m only slightly concerned that Mario will develop athlete’s foot on his face. Of course, this isn’t as cool as my Jedi Mario tattoo, but it was a valiant effort.

It’s not everyday you see a mustached Hello Kitty figure, but something about the way the stars have aligned at this moment has set the mood for the totally unneeded, but gratefully accepted, Hello Kitty Super Mario Bros. papercraft dolls.

Apparently a Hello Kitty – Star Wars mash-up wasn’t quite enough. These Mario and Luigi kitties feature removable hats and all of the Hello Kitty cutesy-ness you can stand.

So, I was chilling with Luigi the other day and he’s all like, “Yo dawg, I’m mad sick over Mario poppin’ up in all my shit, aight?” So I was all like, “Well, Luigi, buddy old pal, you’re going to have to do something to overshadow Mario’s incredible reach.” Luigi concurred.

Hence, he commisioned this magnificent LEGO self-portrait. Composed of 80 layers of LEGO bricks and standing 77 cm. tall, Luigi figures that he should at least get his 15 minutes with this ploy.

This is pretty strange. As one of the leading console series names in the world you’d figure that Nintendo would have had their Super Mario Bros. 3 release edited and studied unmercifully until its release. But somehow the game was released featuring a screen shot of a level which never even appears in the game.

Have you ever seen this mystery level? Are we missing something? We’ve played the hell out of this game and have never even seen anything close.

Ahh, matryoshka dolls. What man hasn’t dreamed of ripping a woman in half only to find another woman inside and so on and so forth? I know I have!

These matryoshkas just happen to be Super Mario Bros.-flavored. Custom designed by Flickr user cmsturmhous, these dolls would look awesome in any gaming room if you could somehow convince the maker to sell them to you. More pic love after the jump. (more…)

If Mario and Peach settled down one day and bought a castle in the countryside, I’d imagine this is what their garden would look like. Though I’m not sure how Mario would feel about a Piranha plant growing in his own backyard. I would imagine a little fire would take care of the job…

Meet Remi Gaillard. He’s a real Italian plumber (except he’s French). The kind that drives a go-kart in live traffic, throwing banana peels at those trying to pass him by in an attempt to thwart their course. Yes, this man is playing Mario Kart for real. A hilarious video that’s well made and fun to watch. Don’t miss out.

Everyone loves cosplaying as their favorite Italian plumber. All it takes is a red shirt and some overalls and all you’re missing is a hat and phony mustache.  Well, don’t worry about buying some expensive Nintendo-licensed product made of fabric. Instead, make your own Mario hat with nothing more than some paper, printer ink and Band-Aids. Just don’t try grabbing any fire flowers in the Mushroom Kingdom because this hat is anything but flame retardant.

What do you get when you mix Hunter S. Thompson with the Mario Brothers? A whole lot of hallucinogenic mushrooms. That joke is the reason I won’t do two shows a night.

Ahh, geek art. Using your game-loving mentality to create a piece of gamer color that can be proudly shown in your humble abode. We imagine long nights, sipping wine by the fire, the sweet smell of leather book binding perfuming the air, as we gaze upon our ultra-classy, and not tacky in the least Super Mario Wall Art Collages, right next to our jaundice-looking Mario Floppy Disc Art.
