The story behind the Mushroom Kingdom motif is a fantastic place. Colorful landscapes, flying turtles, magical mushrooms, and pipes that lead to places where pipes absolutely should not lead. And then there is Bowser. A giant turtle who, after countless defeats, still believes the best way to impress Peach is to kidnap her. Fortunately, there is Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and the rest of the friends. Mario jumps on anything that moves. Luigi is nervous most of the time. Yoshi eats enemies without questions. And Bowser? He builds yet another castle with lava, traps, and a bridge that could send him straight into his own flames. One would think that after all these years Bowser had learned to build a bridge that Mario couldn’t destroy with an axe. Nerdshop tip: For a group photo in the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser should have a fake address. Otherwise Peach will be missing from the picture.
