Crochet-Out!! with Little Mac and Mike Tyson

We can't help but love Little Mac, the quintessential underdog. If seeing him on your virtual console isn't enough, though, how about seeing him around your neck in the winter? You may have also noticed that this scarf has Mike Tyson's big mug on it, so you won't have to settle for Mr. Dream.

Realistically, we know you won't buy this -- after all, the scarf is a whopping $175 on Etsy. Still, we admire the craftsmanship that went into Beatboxtaun's crocheting, and we hope you do, too. We only wish we had such skills ourselves, so that we didn't have to drool over these kinds of things on Etsy all the time.

In our opinion, this definitely beats out the Punch-Out mat for the best craft featuring Little Mac (that we know of).

Crochet Mario has a nemesis

The biggest threat facing Crochet Mario on his adventures? Why, that would be Crochet Piranha, lurking silently in its Crochet Green Pipe, waiting for the right moment to emerge, bow its head, and release fiery balls of death.

This Piranha Plant is the work of Etsy user michellerheaume, the same crocheter (yes, we had to check that) behind Crochet Mario. At $80, it's a little more affordable than Mario, and arguably even more desirable. Nevertheless, it's still going to take a little more to impress us from now on. Like an entire troupe of crocheted Goombas and Koopas. That is sent to us.

You've never seen Mario so soft

We're often amazed by the amount of talent and dedication that some Nintendo fans have. We can't even imagine how long it must have taken to knit crochet such an accurate looking Mario softie.

Even so, we wouldn't pay $100 for a doll the size of our hands (even though it also comes with four brooches). If you would, though, you should visit michellerheaume's Etsy shop here. You might as well throw a couple of bills our way, too, if you have that kind of money. We won't knit you anything, but we can send you some trash from the street and name it "Mario," if that would help.
