Mario edition of the Game of Life

It won’t attack people for you but you can swivel and point the head to direct the light at your enemies. It comes with a (non-replaceable) 60 lumens LED […]

Surprise! Mario under your sink

June 18, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The network of pipes under our kitchen sink got a bit crazy after we had a dishwasher installed. They didn’t get heroric Italian plumber crazy, though! This is a clever idea for any geek lucky enough to have solid pipes rather than a nest of flexi-plastic tubes.

Real life Mario takes on Donkey Kong

April 27, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I hardly need to say it but this is a project from My Name is Banks.com, a Honolulu born graphic designer. Worth it for the twist at the end and for Mario getting whacked in the head. No? Banks has worked on similar projects before including a Jigglypuff in real life and a Tetris in […]

Cats love to be fed to Chain Chomps

June 25, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chain Chomps are common enemies from Mario. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 and, as it turns out, cats love to crawl inside their gaping mouths and snuggle down. Okay, this particular Chain Chomp isn’t your traditional Mario enemy. This Chain Chomp is a custom made bed by Catastrophic Creations. Oh yes, Catastrophic […]

May 24, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

A great idea that’s been brought to life with skill and imagination. This is Mario Kart: Fury Road – a parody trailer – and it brings the crazy driving of Mario Kart to life with the crazy driving of Mad Max. I shall call it Mad Mario. What’s your favourite part?
