Super Mario Bob-omb Tissue Holder
If you’ve played Super Mario (and we’re assuming if you’re reading a gadget blog here you probably have? or you’ve at least heard of Super Mario? You live somewhere on Earth, right? Ok, just checking) then you surely are familiar with the adorably deadly little bombs with eyes, feet, arms sometimes, and a wind-up key on the back to let you know he means business. We’re talking Bob-omb. Yeah the name is as cute as the character. So is the Bob-omb Tissue Holder.
But you know what’s not cute? Germs flying everywhere. So grab a tissue out of Bob-omb’s plush little head and cover your nose. It’s flu season, and the only thing more dangerous than a flu virus being expelled out of your body at 100 mph (actual sneeze fact alert!) is a little wind-up cartoon bomb that holds tissues.

Super Mario New York City Subway Map: Underworld 1-1
A couple of years ago we saw a map of New York City done in the style of Super Mario World. Here’s a great complement to that map, a chart of the Big Apple’s subway depicted in the same style by Robert Bacon. What’s up with Staten Island?
Here’s the official map of the subway for comparison:
Watch the video to get a closer look at the map:
Robert also made a Super Mario Bros. 3 version of the map, which is a tad easier on the eyes.
Enhance!
You can order both maps from Bacon’s shop on Ript Apparel for $25 (USD) each. He also has Mario-themed maps of Chicago on there.

Mario Match Canvas Prints: Are Minigames Mini Art?
Retro game art specialist James Bit made this set of canvas prints that will be familiar to anyone who’s played Super Mario Bros. 3. It’s the spade panel minigame! These prints won’t net you extra lives if you match them accordingly, but at least they’ll take you to a more youthful state of mind.
Each print is stretched on a ready to hang frame and measures 10″ x 8″. According to James Bit, it’s made from wood, canvas, ink and – the magic ingredient – pixels.
The Mario Match prints cost $200 (USD) per set. Grab your Tanooki Suit and fly to James Bit’s Etsy shop to order.

Super Mario Bros 3 In Wood: 8-Bit Carpentry
Back in the Donkey Kong days, Mario used to be a carpenter, so for a cute reminder, it’s really neat to see this recreation of pixel art in wood. We see a lot of 8-bit art recreating our buddy Mario from Super Mario Bros, but the third entry in the ...
