Geeky Plant Sweaters

This Pirahna Plant Sweater is Inspired By the Mario Kart Villain

— February 16, 2015 — Pop Culture
This stylish geeky sweater cleverly pays tribute to the villains of the Mario Kart games, the infamously pesky Pirahna Plants, with a chic green sweater designed to look like the menacing flower.

In the world of Mario Kart, the Pirahna Plants are the tiny little shells that racers can leave behind to trip up other drivers. The scary teeth located on the red plant's mouth are notorious for causing mayhem on the track. Esty shop owner Traffic Cone designed these cute geeky hoodies to look just like the popular plant. The hoodie comes in a light green coloring complete with tiny leave decals along the sweater's sleeves and neck. The top of the hood replicates the Pirahna Plant's red and white flower complete with fake teeth.
