Mario + Tetris = Tuper Tario Tros.

What do you get when you cross a pixel-y Italian plumber with some rapidly-falling tetrominoes? Tuper Tario Tros., of course. It’s like regular Mario, except you’ll encounter some obstacles that you’re going to need help surmounting. That’s when you’ll need to toggle to Tetris and use the shapes to help. Have fun!

The Biggest Lego Mario Ever Built

If you have $3700 handy, you can buy this 6-foot tall, 110-pound, 40,000-brick Lego Mario, the biggest ever built. It took one week to plan, and 175 hours over 16 days to build.

You don't have to feel like a dorky geek for buying it, because the money will go to charity. So you can feel like a good-hearted dorky geek.

The auction lasts till November 1st, and the money will go to the Ronald McDonald foundation in Netherlands, "a dutch organization that arranges proper housing for relatives of hospitalized children, in the vicinity of clinics." [eBay, Via: Brothers Brick] Via: Gizmodo
