It’s-ah me, the birthday boy! It’s hard to believe but today marks the 25th anniversary of the debut of Mario and the gang. The design of Mario, originally planned as a carpenter named Jumpman, can really be accredited to the graphical limitations of the time. He wore a hat, because realistic hair was difficult to portray with 8-bit graphics, a mustache to provide definition to his pixelated nose, and dungarees to make his arm movements more noticeable. In the original... Continue reading

Taking inspiration from my two favorite geek icons of all time, Flickr user mrksaari created these real-life Super Mario zombie cosplay costumes. Princess Peach looks like she’s holding her own just fine, so I’m pretty sure the Mario clan has a new objective. And I’ll give you a hint. It starts with “b” and ends with “rains.” While mushrooms were just fine and dandy for keeping the old Mario up and running, nothing can quite satisfy the hunger of Zombie... Continue reading

Well, what did you think they did with all of that fresh Yoshi meat when the poor little guy gets offed besides using his skin as a scarf? HELLO! Barbecue! Sprite Stich Forum user jessii created these homemade Mario and Luigi Aprons just for special occasions. Luckily, I can find reason for a special occasion any day. “Umm, why are you going out in your Mario Apron, dear?” “Uhh, duh, it’s National Unification Day in Liberia.” True story. Wikipedia says...

Not going to star in my games anymore under ah-me, Mario? You want your own fame and-ah fortune? You want to-ah split from the family business? We’ll-ah see about that. Don’t even try getting out of the game Luigi. Bad things might happen to you. Very bad things. If you want to see this design on a purchasable tee, head over to Threadless and vote! Link [via]

Spotted using Google Street View, apparently after saving the princess Mario and Luigi retired from the plumbing biz, sick and tired of crawling through pipes no doubt, and decided to open their own restaurants. Mario’s is a bakery and Luigi’s serves pizza, kebobs and burgers. So if you think about it, they aren’t even really competing. They’re pretty complimentary of each other. I guess having wardrobe security helps you have the confidence for a major career change. And yes, Mario’s sign is... Continue reading

This might just be Mario and Luigi’s attempt to get their name in the papers only days before the release of the new Super Mario Bros. Wii game, but apparently the two plumbers were spotted assaulting a NYC cab driver. Don’t get too discouraged quite yet, your two favorite plumbers still might have a chance. Number one, the attack was on Halloween, so it might not be the REAL Mario and Luigi, but perhaps the work of two impostors. The... Continue reading

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... Continue reading

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. Link [via]

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... Continue reading

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... Continue reading
