Super Mario Bros. go down in my personal history as the only game I ever loved and would play endlessly. Perhaps that’s why these Mario-themed USB sticks make me want to need a USB stick.
The Mario theme USB sticks feature Mario, Goomba, Koopa, and the question mark (which is a USB extender, not a USB stick like the others.)
The Super Mario sticks sell for $55, and are great for any child of the 80s who grew up with a love of the classic Super Mario Bros. animations.
