MAMA MIA!!Growing up I had always enjoyed playing Super Mario Brothers (and still do enjoy playing it). This Halloween I just couldn’t resist the idea of trying to transform a common male costume into a unique female costume. I asked a few of my friends if they would like to join in on the “Mario … Read more

Mario, Princess Toadstool, Toad, Toadette, Wario, and King Boo battle it out on the streets of Honolulu. Not an original concept, but we like to think the execution was a success. For the most part, the characters were easy to recreate. Creativity played a role in making the spherical shape of King Boo, Toad, and … Read more
