I’ve known all along that he’s a real dude. Going to work 9 to 5, exterminating Koopas and Goombas and going on plumbing jobs with his bro Luigi, then heading home to bang the princess and have a TV dinner while watching Mythbusters. Business could probably be better though, so he is always on the hunt for coins. But man, what a life.

You the man Mario. You and your sweet un-Nintendo like van.

Goombas are awesome…To stomp on. This Goomba makes a satisfying noise after you hit him. It will react to being hit on the head by emitting the customary goomba-bop-death noise. He’s 10″ and battery powered.

Also available are a ? Block (makes a coin sound) and a Star (plays the star noise).

This hand-painted Super Mario themed Wii features a scene from the classic platformer. It even has a 3-dimensional Mario busting out of the side. It was done using a large amount of modeling clay and Bondo.

There’s a tutorial over on Instructables, showing you how to do the same thing. The creator says he is probably putting this one up for auction in the next week to raise some cash, so watch ebay if you are too lazy to make your own.

Some things you just shake your head at. Others make you want to check out of civilization entirely and forget what you’ve just seen. This is the latter.

You might remember Birdo from Super Mario Brothers 2. I present the Birdo fetish costume. All the finer perves from Mario land own one for when they bang each other at parties.

Another innocent Mario childhood memory twisted and perverted. And I am left with the aftermath of this image in my head.

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.

Listen up. This is like the holy grail of geekiness. Upskirt pics of Princess Peach. These hi-res shots of Princess Peach are NSFW so they can be found after the jump.

These cupcake photos have been zinging across the web and making geeks like me hungry. These are true retro arcade works of art. They make me want to play vintage games while munching away. They were created by hello naomi and arranged to look just like the game screen.

Clearly I need me a new Betty Crocker in the kitchen. I would ask my wife to make these, but I don’t fancy a punch to my face.

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.

I always wondered how Mario had the energy to jump around all day inside my console and kick Bowser’s butt, while I lazily pushed buttons. Now I know.

He’s got his own energy drink. It must pack one hell of a mushroom power-up too, because it’s clearly labeled “Product not intended for children”. Rumor is that those under 18 turn into Koopas with one sip.

If you need a boost while trying to save the Princess, you can power-up for $2.95 a can.
