No matter how many new video game franchises come along, it’s still some of the earliest console games which have the most popular gaming characters of all time. Take, for instance, Mario and Mega Man. Both released nearly 30 years ago (yikes, I feel really old), these iconic gaming characters…

These pieces of minimalist Mario and Link Art are very unique – they depict our favorite Nintendos in a startling fashion by focusing on their torsos. These two characters surely have the most heroic midsections of them all, but I think that Mario’s pot belly may have been treated with…

There never seems to be enough time. Whether you are passing the day away working in an office, sweating in a factory, or in Mario’s case: saving the Princess. No, time is not on our side. Especially for Mario. The clock is even running down as he rushes to complete…

From time to time, you come across interesting images on the web, and sometimes, it’s not easy to figure out nthe story behind them. I spotted this QR Code Super Mario on this Spanish website, and which led me to find out it was created by one Mr. Kuwahara. Unfortunately,…

Did you ever notice how many of the enemies in the Super Mario Bros. games are rotund? You’ve got Chain Chomp – round, Boo – round, Piranha Plant – round head, and of course Bob-omb – also round. So it was only fitting that these guys would become round Christmas…

It’s a good thing I don’t have to deal with people gifting me holiday pullovers. When I’m old and doing nothing but gaming all day, I hope this Mario-inspired design by Tim Shumate is still around and available as a sweater. I’ll give it to the young ones right before…

Not sure how I missed this, but apparently PETA has a problem with Nintendo’s Super Mario 3D Land… launch. The organization has taken aim at Mario himself, making it look like he has to kill a raccoon to wear that Tanooki suit from the game, and somehow that Nintendo is
