Super Mario fans, this amazing Bob-Omb USB Flash Drive is sure to blow you away (pun intended).

The Bob-Omb USB Flash Drive was created by artist Jeff Kuhnie. Being a huge fan of Super Mario games, Kuhnie decided to customize a memory stick in the form of one of the most lovable characters in the game. The Bob-Omb look is pretty much dead on. The flash drive's round black body, oval white eyes, miniature yellow feet and back winder replicates the game character in every way.

The memory stick is available in 4GB and 8GB capacity. However, you can request a larger drive should you need more space. The Bob-Omb USB Flash Drive is currently available on Jeff Kunie's [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-app) page.
