MARIO MERCHANDISE
Are you ready? There's only three review posts left until the Mario series is complete! Today, we're going to cover all of the miscellaneous merchandise that's not a toy or a game. Basically, there's a lot. First off, we have a bunch of audio CDs, mostly soundtracks from various games, but a few originals just kinda built around Mario or gaming, like White Knuckle Scorin' from MCA Records. Then we have clothing in basically every article you can think of, from graphic tees, hats (including Cappy of course), shoes (my sister has a pair), jerseys, sweatpants, pajamas, hoodies, coats, halloween costumes, and even underwear. There's also accessories like bracelets and hair clips, school supplies like pencils, notebooks, and folders, phone cases, wallets, tissue boxes, accessories for game systems like custom styluses and game cases. After that we have all kinds of food, like candy, drinks, ice cream, meals like Macaroni & Cheese or SpaghettiO's, snack cakes, and cookies, both from established brands promoting the Mario series at certain points and specially made as part of a limited time thing. This naturally came with specialty kitchenware and dishes too. Finally, we have bathroom items like shampoo and bubble bath, cards of all varieties, a few clocks, a few telephones, mousepads and mice, backpacks, bags, piggy banks, waste baskets, furniture here and there, as well as furnishings to go with them, floor mats, stamps, stickers, sheet music, and a whole slew of other odds and ends over the years. Basically, slap Mario's mug on literally anything, somebody's gonna buy it.
And that's it! Here's what we've got so far:

Maybe some of this could be items
Thanks for reading! Now, I wanted to cover the new lines of Lego Mario sets on their own, as they're kind of a big deal in their own way.
