How do you think Mario got so rich? I know, it’s not so simple in our world. We don’t have blocks that give us coins when we hit them. Actually, yes we do. If times are tough and you could use a little boost in your finances, just bonk your head against this Mario block. Jonathan Whalen built a real-life version of a Super Mario Land question block that actually spits out coins.

An awesome cap featuring an embroidery of the iconic question mark block from Super Mario Bros. Wear it and be weary of your gamer friends’ jokes about punching your head to make coins or power-ups come out.

We’ve featured several real world versions of the classic Super Mario Bros. coin block, but this one made by Bruno Pasquini tops them all, because it works just like its video game counterpart – punch its bottom and coins come out!

What can you do with a bunch of beads and a LEGO Mindstorms kit? Make a fully functional jumping Mario question mark block sculpture, that’s what.
