Mar 10, 2023

We’ve rounded up our picks for super fun gear to deck out your car in Nintendo themed accessories to add a little flair and personality to your vehicle. But first, here’s some fun facts to impress your friends and family today!

There are 14 different games in the Mario Kart series? 6 of these games are for home console, 3 are for handheld console, 4 arcade games, and 1 mobile version.
Nintendo first got its start as a playing card and board game company, first founded in 1889. They moved into video games with Donkey Kong in the 1970s.
The original NES console (aka Nintendo Classic) was so popular in Japan that it wasn’t discontinued until 2003, a whopping 20 years after its initial release date.
By December of 2022, more than 120 million switches have been sold!
The iconic Mario’s design was born of necessity as much as it was a design for iconography. Since the original NES tech was so limited, the hat was added to cover up hair that couldn’t be rendered in pixels, the white gloves were to enable a player to more easily see his arms move, and the iconic mustache and hat were added because of limited pixels allowed on screen for defining features.
