It’s-a Mario World: Mushroom Feast

Commence with the spending frenzy! Black Friday’s door-busting sales and no-holds-barred consumer fistfights initiate holiday shopping today, and that means the annual limited-edition Nintendo swag is now being clawed from store shelves. As many of you know, this year is no slouch with two new DS Lite colors, one of which is a phenomenal Mario-red. No cause for alarm; some foaming at the mouth is to be expected. Almost harder to believe is DS Fanboy’s current giveaway where one lucky reader will take it home free. The rest of us can bag it at Amazon.com while supplies last.

ANYWAYS. We still have a gallery this week amidst all of the excitement. It started out as a series of photographs capturing every possible angle of the aforementioned DS Lite, but that didn’t quite work. Instead, being so stuffed with Thanksgiving turkey and delicious pumpkin pie, we couldn’t help thinking about what comprises Mario’s diet. The short answer? Mushrooms. Lots of them. Seriously, what is it about fungus? Chomp down on our new gallery in which you’ll taste a smorgasbord of ’shroom varieties Mario has consumed throughout his career. Yum.

It’s-a Mario World is a weekly feature in which the ubiquity of Nintendo’s flagship character is celebrated: We’ll incessantly ruminate about mustache wax, debate the curious whereabouts of the princess and covet the luminous power stars strewn about the galaxy. Check back here every Friday to find out what strange and wonderful thing has got us tipping our caps.

Probably the cutest shirt you’ll see with a mashup of nutrition and power-up items (at least today). The best part? While Steven Lefcourt’s design includes some of the most obvious contenders for the power-up throne, there are a few surprises, not least of which is the $19 price. Totally reasonable, in our book.
