This is my Mario Pumpkin that I carved last year.
Read the Contest Info/Rules Here
Update:
I am very impressed with the submissions... Oh how I would love to do a Bowser... but man... can you imagine trying to make a Bowser costume?
Anyways... keep'em coming!
Q&A:
Q: Do I need to pay for anything?
A: No, I will pay for shipping. If you don't mind slow as molASSes USPS. Maybe if its good enough I will send it faster.
Q: How many times may I enter?
A: Until there is so much Win that it is useless to enter.
Q: What about the Forum underbelly?
A: There is a
thread where they can enter.
Q: If I win the contest, instead of the SNES, could you just change your avatar?
A: Fuck no, immediate disqualification for the mere suggestion of such blasphemy.
Q: Should Y0j1mb0 win cause he's old like me...
A: Only if his oldness made his suggestions the best ever.
Q: Can Digtastik Win?
A: No, although... I wouldn't have to pay for shipping then.
(if digtastik is female then please ignore this comment)
It was a goomba. Awesome stuff.
You = Captain N
(Just a red jacket with a big N on it, Jeans and a T-shirt. Maybe use a spare NES controller for a belt buckle and bring a spare Zapper with you.)
Your 3 Yr Old = Mega Man
(Blue shirt and pants. Maybe some dark blue underwear on the outside of the pants lol. Get a blue Beanie and just draw the shapes of the helmet on.)
Your 1 Yr Old = Kid Icarus
(Easy. It looks like he is wearing a bib anyway lol. Maybe just a t shirt that is a little bit too big and some sandals. Angel wings should be easy to find. A toy bow is optional for safety's sake.
If your wife is going to be there she could be Princess Lana.
I hope this helps you out a little, even if it just pushes you in the right direction.
Or, if you can stand the embarrassment of dressing like this in public, you could be Ash Ketchum and have your sons dressed as your favorite Pokemon. You know...if you're man enough to admit that you have favorite Pokemon. lol
