Remember that cool Super Mario Bros. sound effects key-ring we told you about the other day. Well here’s something just as cool. It’s the Super Mario Bros Singing Glowing Star.
Now here’s the best part. Simply pat the back of it and it will play that iconic, and all so reassuring invincibility song from the Super Mario games. Oh how many times that cheery little star has saved me from those pesky Piranha plants.
But just as a side note, it doesn’t really give you powers of invincibility so don’t use it to confront dodgy folks loitering in alleys at night. Running into them with star in tow will probably have different repercussions than you might hope for.
Spotted at ThinkGeek.
Who doesn’t love Super Mario Bros. Nobody! That’s who. And what better way to relive those feelings of nostalgia than with this super-duper cool sound effects keyring, complete with original Super Mario Bros sounds.
I’ve been in possession of one for a few weeks now, and don’t ever see myself tiring of it.
Sounds include:-
- Coin grab
- Level start
- 1-up sound
- Jump
- Power up mushroom
- Losing a life
Get yours, here.
The insanity will never end. Each year or so Mattel releases a new model of an electronic Elmo doll and each year it sells out instantly. If you thought last year’s doll was amazing, watch the video below. Elmo goes bonkers by throwing his arms around. Be sure to watch your kid play with this toy, otherwise Elmo might smack your kid!
Even after 23 years it never gets boring to see merchandise from gamings most loved franchise. How cool is this money bank in the form of a 1UP and Super Mushroom.
Want? Then read on, mushroom lovers.
Now, you might have seen plenty of gun mods for your Wii, and may even own one - but I’ll bet you you’ve never seen something like this. It’s called the “Shark Gun” and it is the perfect combination of the ferocity and deadliness of a shark with the ferocity and deadliness of a gun. You do the math.
It’s actually out for sale at DealExtreme for $10.86, which doesn’t sound like a bad deal for something to impress your friends with. Check out the back of the box, and its beautiful semi-Chinglish literature.
“With lively appearance and smooth lines, shark gun makes you feel comfortable and gives you a strong sense of shark liked invincible force.”
Woah, okay - “Shark liked”? So we want to impress and attract sharks with this thing? There’s more stuff if you read closely. Then again, maybe I should be thankful, seeing as how I have encountered far more traumatizing English on product manuals.
A guy named Arvo has come up with this masterpiece, and surprisingly, it is an independent work of art, totally unconnected to the upcoming movie. While his eyes look sort of weird, you gotta love the work on his thighs and posture - that’s quality artwork. This is the sort of merchandise you need to pay for, people!
I hope Arvo releases more pictures of this beauty, as well as maybe details about it. (insert Black Sabbath’s Iron Man riff here)
The new Xbox 360 pink and blue colored controllers are FINALLY here… Fabulous. Now you can play with your controller as if it wasa crappy plastic chew toy.
If Microsoft really wanted to make new colors, make them cool. Everyone remember when clear white came out on the Nintendo 64? If you had one of those you were the shitz of the gamer community. Microsoft please learn from the past.
