You, too, can be a heroic plumber who saves the world

...With the official Mario costume, made by Rubies and licensed by Nintendo. To be honest, I'm not terribly impressed. Sure it comes with a little inflatable tummy so you can be just as rotund as Mario himself, but the actual costume looks rather bland. I'd probably just buy it for the cap, but that really isn't worth $35+ to me so I hope they sell it separately. With the cap, some white gloves, a red turtleneck, a fake mustache and a decent pair of overalls I could make one mean Mario costume. I always preferred his slightly more detailed Smash Bros appearance anyway--you could even see the little rivets on his pants in Brawl, so why not on a costume too?
