Bow before the awesomeness of Koopa Troopa guitar photo

The Green Koopa Troopa is basically the runt of Koopa Troopas everywhere, but even the lowliest minion gets its time to shine. Green Koopa your time is now and your place is in the form of a Koopa Troopa electric guitar. An anonymous creator fashioned this piece of geek rock and roll and his friend posted it to Reddit.

Needles to say, something like this got some votes over there, and the creator finally had to drop a few words of wisdom about his piece of electric guitar glory. He explains that, "The guitar is right handed. I play it so the Koopa is on its back (it's been stomped). When it is on a guitar stand it's walking about. Just pretend Mario jumped on the Koopa Troopa and chose to hold it for too long so it's escaping."

What kind of man comes up with not only the idea for a Koopa Troopa guitar, but also a logical reasoning for its position both in arm and in a stand? The greatest man ever born. We salute you, sir.

Absolutely love it. Almost inspiring me to want to go and make my own guitar, I just have no idea what I would make it look like.

That's really quite awesome-sauce. He should make a classic 8-bit bowser one now.

Haha, good thing the explanation was there. First thing I thought when I saw it (after "what the hell awesome", of course) was that it seemed like it would face the wrong way while in use.

As completely beyond comprehension awesome as this is, it must be so unbelievably uncomfortable to play

This should be in the L4D2 as a homage to Nintendo and bash Mario zombie with it to pulp.

Nobody needs to be playing it, because that guitar rocks all by itself. :-D WANT!!

This thing is freaking awesome. Now, as long as the maker doesn't let one of his friends place it near a staircase and repeatedly jump on it, it should stay awesome.
