Just like The Vapors classic 1980 single “Turning Japanese,” I’m fairly confidant that Mario is, in fact, turning Japanese. I really think so. Created for Uberbook’s Designers Game Remix by Flickr user Xiaobaosg, this Japanese art-themed piece draws inspiration from Super Mario Bros and the Capcom game Monster Hunters. Featured in the print are Mario himself, Bowser and a much ...

Looking for something productive to make with that hidden crocheting talent of yours? This 7 x 7 ft Mario Raccoon Rug took this craftster about 15 days to finish, or about 120 hours, hand crocheting each and everyone of its 386 granny squares. Pixel crocheting. Now that’s an interesting concept. Taking the old and making it new again. That’s what ...

I might attest to being quite the hardcore geek, but never have I taken up a project like this and I doubt I ever will. This group of charitable gamers plans to play every single Mario-inspired video game, including Galaxy and 64, in their entirety.

I’m a big Leno fan and also a Conan fan. While it was hard for me to watch Leno give up the keys to The Tonight Show, I’m sure Conan will do just fine. Already he’s making me grin with his new backdrop, which is clearly inspired by the Mushroom Kingdom from the Mario Bros. titles. Did anyone catch this ...

Though only a silhouette exists, my detective work tells me that someone going under the alias of “Toad” is dealing shrooms. Lots of shrooms. At $20 an eighth, these are going fast and I’m worried Mario might be caught up in the mix. Rehab? We’ve considered it. But then we wouldn’t feel so big and powerful anymore and that’s just ...

For once, Nintendo is moving away from the television set and into the study. Next month, you’ll be able to plunk down $39.99 for an officially licensed Mario Chess set. Nothing has changed with the game but the pieces are based on your favorite Nintendo characters. Yoshi is the knight, Toad is the rook, Peach is the bishop and of ...
