There are 5 different candy designs, including green apple sour 1-up mushrooms, blue raspberry mini mushrooms, cherry red cherry power-up mushrooms, sugary yellow star candies, and strawberry-flavored coin candies.

The guys at BigBadToyStore are taking pre-orders for the Question Mark Block candies now. You can get the Mushroom Sours and the Super Star candies over at Birthday Express. All of the candies sell for $3.99 (USD) a tin.

I always figured the gold coins were filled with chocolate, not strawberry.

What better way to get your strength back but with some delicious Pac-Man Energy Drink.

The cherry flavored drink is the perfect cure for cooling you down when you’re infected with Pac-Man Fever. This stuff is loaded with sugar, caffeine, and all that good stuff that makes an energy drink an energy drink. Down a dozen and chase ‘em with a couple of packs of Sweet Tarts for good measure. That should definitely get you buzzing for the day.

You can grab an 8.4 ounce can of the sticky-sweet liquid refreshment over at Amazon for $2.99 a pop.

Flickr contributor M.A.L. had this Mario Kart-inspired custom cake made for his recent wedding. This intricate Nintendo cake was crafted by the cake artisans of Costa Mesa, California’s Let Them Eat Cake. Amazingly, everything in these photos is 100% eat-able.

You won’t find any 1up Mushrooms inside this cake, but the so-called “Chocolate Decadence” cake is loaded with yummy chocolate buttercream, ganache, mousse. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.
