To celebrate the vintage designs and 8-bit illustrations, Think Geek has put together these notepads that come in three different styles inspired by Mario. The first features a pixelated side profile of Mario against a black background, the second a black pattern outline of Mario running and the third a red background with Mario jumping in the air.
