Adventures in realistic Mario stuff: The Super Mushroom photo

Oh God. Is it ... is it halfheartedly smiling at us?

From the maker of the realistic Blue Shell and other equally creeptastic items from the Mushroom Kingdom comes this Super Mushroom Christmas tree ornament. It's being offered up on eBay for anyone wanting a scary old mushroom man to watch over them and their presents.

I foolishly uploaded the photo of the thing before I began writing this post. Why? Why did I do such a thing? I'm too freaked out by his soulless gaze to continue writing any further. Please, if you can manage to do so, discuss this guy in the comments.

Goddamn that is just too creepy... I feel unsafe just looking at it. I can hear it whispering, "come closer Shadow... I'll be gentle."

So that's what I've been forcing mario to eat all these years, let alone he's eating the heads of princess peach's loyal followers.

I bet Toad will look something like this. Only with an open vest to show off his wrinkly old man skin.
