TeeFury shows you how Mario really got the raccoon tail photo

It didn't quite make any sense to me as a kid that Mario was able to grab a tanooki tail out of a mysterious box and suddenly fly, but the thing was I was having such a good time doing so that I kind of tossed logic out the door. It seems like someone else must have had that fleeting moment of wondering what the tail was really all about, because this new shirt on TeeFury today definitely pokes fun at the whole thing.

Made by an artist who goes by the name of Ready, you can snag this shirt today from TeeFury for $9. Much like the way Woot works, the shirt is only available for one day, so if you want to earn smiles and nods from other gamers who remember Mario's tail, this one might be worth picking up -- god knows it's cheap enough!

I always knew Mario was a sick f--k. Good thing they didn't make a shirt about him getting the entire Tanooki suit hahaha.

He didn't. He grabbed a leaf. Or the raccoon's skin. :P

Sweet, cute design! Although I think the shirt would have worked fine with just the top art piece, on a dark blue or even black shirt. Mario smiling at the sweating raccoon is funny enough.
Still, it's always nice to see video game inspired shirts. Gotta love 'em! =)
