Power Up, Sucka!

powerup.jpg

Found this nifty little history of power ups poster thingy this morning on Geekologie. I want it. In poster form. Right now. But I can’t seem to find it anywhere. :-( If any of you folks figure out where you can buy a print, lemme know. All I can find are various versions of posters from that horrible movie version.

Mushrooms not included…

Speaking of power ups, you can buy your very own can of Nintendo Super Mario Power Up Energy Drink for just $2.95 from GK World. (They’re out of stock right now, but you can get notified when they’ve got more.) Or for ¬£1.45 from CyberCandy. Wherever you get it from, the drink promises blue-raspberry flavor that will “keep you jumping!”

I haven’t been able to find that poster, but what I do know is that you can make a poster from any image. You can use a website like:

http://www.dotprodux.com/

All you need is a fairly large copy of that image, which can be found here:

And then you make your poster to your liking.


And on another note, the Power Up Energy Drink is readily available to me from this retro game store here in Austin called ‘Game Over’


I haven’t seen any place that still has those energy drinks in stock. It sucks, I need to double in size now!


I’m happy to say that this morning when I came back from my first meeting I had a mysterious print out waiting on my desk of the power up chart which is now taped up in my cubicle. w00t!(thanks, Mike!):-D


Good Times!


That is one awesome poster, and I am very glad to see the neglected classic that is Super Mario Land 2 in that poster, and getting the respect it deserves!

Also, I have a can of that mario drink, I have yet to drink it though, so I can’t vouch for the taste. My plan is to find it in an old box ten years from now, drink it, and start hallucinating.


I’ll keep my keen eyes open for this super sweet poster. :)
Is there anything more adorable than Tanooki Mario?!?!
