this dsi is all about brotherly love

nintendo dsi paint custom mario luigi

…it’s just that this sort of brotherly love tends to be more about punching and less about hugging. Call it the Super Smash Bros. Call it domestic violence. But you know everyone wants to see this guy’s DSi when he whips it out in public!

super mario cake goes the extra pipelength

tb-mariocake1

As cakes go, this one is pretty good-looking, yeah? With the molded goombas and mushrooms, it’s hard to argue against this level of detail. The crenellations around the top of that tower aren’t perfect, but I think that adds to their charm. Yep, definitely a nice cake. But wait! That’s not all!

michelle rheaume crochet mario tanooki

The Tanooki suit was just one of the many charms of Super Mario Bros. 3, but the real thing ain’t got nothing on this amigurumi version. Mario’s never looked so adorable.

Pretty impressive papercraft on the face… and even moreso when you realize that the accessories–the hats, the bows–are all individual pieces. Move ‘em around as you will. But leave the mustaches…

mario brothers mini golf: putt-putt forthefunofit

Mario and Luigi Go Golfing

Somehow I let these Mario Brothers miniature golf players slip between the cracks when they came out a couple of months back. But in my quest for holiday gifts for gamers, they popped back on my radar screen — so I guess it’s better late than never.

mario and luigi clear the air

Mario and Luigi Air Fresheners

All those old Koopa shells lying around are bound to stink up the Mushroom Kingdom, right? So leave it to Mario and Luigi to leave the place clean as a fresh morning dew.

Normally, I wouldn’t think that a pair of plumbers would smell all that good after a day wandering through sewers, but these…
