Some lucky Nintendo fan had this cake made for his 30th birthday. It’s got a neat Mario landscape on it, Piranha plants, Koopa shells, a 1-up mushroom and of course Mario himself. The only better then playing Super Mario is eating this cake.

Geek cake…yum.

Here’s a great walk down memory lane. The history of Mario power-ups throughout the years. It’s missing a few newer ones, but it is still cool. Brings back memories, doesn’t it? You know it does, though you pretend you’re not geeky.

You know damn well you want a poster like this one on your wall. Over your bed, where your 1-Up mushroom pillows sit, just above your Mario sheets. Soon, your mom will knock on the door and enter, asking you why you still live under her roof for the past 30 years. You will just shrug, and flip through your comic book.

Ahhh. That’s the life. I envy you and your cheesy-puffs stained hands.

Since you are alone in your room again and since there ain’t no girl coming over, be sure to check out the video after the jump. It shows the evolution of Mario, from Donkey Kong to Super Mario Galaxy. And it’s set to the Zelda theme.

Here’s a good way to keep warm and also rock mushrooms in crazy 1up style. This 1-UP Mushroom Scarf is hand crocheted by “UrbanPrincess” on Etsy and is actually available for sale on a made-to-order basis.

The scarf is 5 1/2 inches wide and over 6 feet long, giving you lots of extra lives. If you like, you can request a different color mushroom. The scarves were originally sold at $95, but have gone up to $150 due to popularity.
