LUSH x The Super Mario Bros. Movie Bath Products

April 6, 2023 By ausretrogamer

With the new The Super Mario Bros. movie out now in cinemas, of course there were going to be brands clamouring to license the world’s most famous plumber to use on their products!

A case in point is Lush, you know, the folks that make and sell those smelly soaps. Being a plumber and climbing in and out of sewer pipes, Mario gets a tad dirty on the job, so what better way to cleanse himself than to use the new Lush bath product line!

The Lush product line is of course inspired by the Super Mario Bros. film which includes a peach and pineapple-scented Princess Peach body spray, Mario (Cola) and Luigi (green apple) shower gels, Princess Peach (peach) and Bowser (cinnamon) shower jellies, a gold coin (honey) soap bar, and a question block bath bomb that includes one of six different power-up soaps inside!

So when heading to watch the movie, make sure you smell peachy by using these new Lush SMB film bath products!

Dystopian Mario Kart Sketch on SNL

February 7, 2023 By ausretrogamer

If HBO could make a TV series out of The Last Of Us, then why not make one from another massive franchise, Mario Kart?

Well, the Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedy show, in conjunction with HBO and Nintendo, did exactly that, with Pedro Pascal playing Mario in a dystopian Mario Kart sketch – it’s funny and brilliant!

Check it out!

Still Dreaming About Super Nintendo World

February 19, 2021 By ausretrogamer

The way this pandemic is still playing out, we won’t be making any traveling plans any time soon.

Luckily for us, our bucket list is immune to viruses! Still at the top of our bucket list is the Super Nintendo World themed area at Universal Studios Japan! We know this is old news, but we thought it is worth focusing on some fun stuff, again. This themed area is an absolute MUST for any Nintendo or gaming fan (or theme park fan) that is fond of Nintendo’s huge video games franchises.

We are already planning our itinerary, so we can’t wait to grab our Power-Up bands, hit the 1UP Factory for some shopping and grab a bite to eat and sip some coffee at Kinopio’s Cafe  😉

PS: If you want to see each pic in its full-blown resolution, just click on it and let your eyes feast on the awesomeness!
