The Nutrition Facts Of Food In Video Games

We totally think that bringing video game food into real life would be an awesome idea. But what are the nutrition facts of those mushrooms that Mario eats or those glowing dots that feed Pacman? We need to know these things!

Make Gigantic, Glowing, Flying Art On The Cheap

Imagine you’re walking home from a bar tonight. You look up and there’s a bright, glowing, 23sqm Super Mario flying above you. You’d probably think someone had slipped you something, but no, it’s just Mark Rober from NASA having some fun.

Mario In A Shoebox? Sure, Why not!

So you might be pretty good at Mario, but how well can you play if your controller and console is replaced with a shoebox, paper cut-outs, some magnets and an Arduino?

Make Your Own Super Mario-Style Coin Block

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to do a DIY project more than this one. It’s a real life coin block lifted straight from Super Mario. So when you punch the bottom of the box, like Mario so often did, coins shoot out of the top (it even makes that classic sound!).

Luigi Went And Built Himself A Mecha To Make Mario Jealous

Clichefd as it may be, the Mario universe and mecha are my two favourite Japanese contributions to nerd culture. Furthermore, I always liked Luigi more than Mario. And seeing this Luigi mecha makes me wish it was in a game.

This Week’s Top Web Comedy Video: Peach And Zelda Love Being Kidnapped

< When you think about it, Zelda and Peach did let themselves get kidnapped a surprisingly high number of times. Call it Stockholm Syndrome, call it love; those princesses are literally asking for it.

Trying To Be Mario Using Kinect Is Just Ridiculous

This guy thought it would be a good idea to hack Kinect to play Super Mario Bros. You know, actually run to make Mario run. Jump to make him jump. Duck to get into pipes. Bad move.

Real-Life Super Mario: He’s Just Missing A Princess

Just like sitting too close to the TV will ruin your eyes, playing too much Mario might just take over your reality. Or at least fill it with a bunch of shiny gold coins.

Give Your iPad An Extra Life With These Super Mario Cases

Given the sense of horror I experienced when I dropped and shattered my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago, I wouldn’t go anywhere with an iOS device unless it was safely ensconced in some form of case. And these iPad cases from Melbourne-based Etsy designer HoobyGroovy are my favourite cases ever.

Mario’s Guts Aren’t Made Of Pixelized Pepperoni Pizza Like I Imagined

After looking at this Mario sculpture—which should be included in the Bodies exhibition—I’m craving for an ultra-realistic version of Nintendo’s game. One that would get the 35-year-old plumber’s guts spilt each time he gets smashed. [Jason Freeny—Thanks Lolo!]
