The watch features designs inspired by the retro graphics and characters with a price tag that comes in at just under $20,000.

The Super Mario Bros is one of the most popular [pixelated video games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-x-pacman) on the market, and continues to be thanks to its timeless appeal.
