Nintendo Wall Graphics - Super Mario Bros

by ThinkGeek

Product Description

It's a tale as old as time. Boy grows up, completely enamored with a computer-generated Italian plumber. He pumps his college fund, in quarter form, into Donkey Kong. Later, he grows inch-thick calluses on his thumbs playing Super Mario Brothers on the original NES. He suffered through Super Mario Sunshine, and has the entire season of Super Mario Adventures, staring Captain Lou Albano as Mario, on DVD. Finally, he marries a nice girl named Pauline, and has three kids: Shigeru, Luigi, and Diddy. Poor Diddy.

What he doesn't have, though, are these awesome vinyl restickable wall-stickers. Featuring Mario and his friends and enemies through his evolution from 15 pixel high sprite to fully 3d-rendered hyperbeing. Do a faithful recreation of your favorite levels, or create your own, using your own space as a template.

Now all you need are mushrooms that make you into a giant, and flowers that let you throw fireballs.

It would have been nice to know how many stickers to expect. Thankfully, I was doing a small bathroom, so it turned out about right. In my set, I got:

2 clouds
4 coins
1 small mario
1 large mario
1 small luigi
1 starman
2 koopa troopas (turtles)
2 goombas ([...])
1 biting plant
1 tube/pipe
8 ground blocks
3 bricks
3 stair cubes
1 blank cube (after you bump the brick)
1 question mark cube

Application was easy - stick and smoothe. Getting them straight on can be hard if you're doing it alone. My application was a little crooked. One concern is that if you have any textural imperfections in your wall, this can ruin the stickers. It didn't happen to me, but just be careful.

Anyway, this was a surprise for my husband's 29th birthday, and he LOVED it.

OPTIONAL PROJECT:
I was able to find some green cups at the dollar store (that look like pipes) and I found his mini stuffed Mario, Bowser and Toad. Then I tucked the cups into red/brown Kleenex boxes and taped them together to make a "warp zone". I framed some original instruction booklets. I put up a green shower curtain, and when I get a few extra dollars, maybe I'll buy some red towels to complete everything. I will post photos when I get the time.

One thing I will say is that it is hard to identify some of the stickers before you put them on the wall (I looked at luigi for a long time before I figured out what he was... had to rotate the sticker page to get it!). But once you get it up on the walls, it looks true to the game.

I'm a huge video game fan, and I'm marrying a woman who is an old-school Nintendo fan, not really of more recent video games. We registered here at Amazon for our wedding, and when looking for a Mario/Peach cake topper, we came across these stickers and decided to add them to our registry.

Well, someone got them for us, and I was eager to see what they looked like, thinking they would be smallish. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of them. I don't have them here with me as I write this, and never did make measurements, but we did a very simple scene and it took up an entire wall and we did not even use all the stickers.

The stickers were pretty easy to apply, although you had to go slow to make sure they went on straight and so that air didn't get caught underneath. If there was a problem, peeling it off and moving stickers was a breeze. We'll probably be moving out of our apartment within a year, and that will be the real decider if this is a good purchase. Sure, it says removable, but can you put them up for months and then take them down and put them up again. Only time will tell, but as of now, if you are a Mario fan and want to spice up a wall, this is an excellent purchase.

My son was so excited to receive his Mario decorations! They were easy to apply and looked great for 24 hours. Now for the last month at least 1/2 of them fall down everynight. I have tried different parts of the room (away for vents, windows etc). Nothing seems to matter. It is a nightmare. Now after 70.00 what do I do?
