Take a stroll through the closet of the legendary Nintendo character Mario with this Plumber’s Wardrobe T-shirt from Split Reason. Plumbers are not generally considered to be fashionistas, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t have a burgeoning wardrobe, and if you happen to change sizes every time you indulge in a mushroom, you’re going to need a lot of clothes.
If you’ve followed Mario’s exploits for a while, most of these outfits will be familiar to you. From the Tanooki suit to that adorable little frog number, all of Mario’s magical (and not-so magical) outfits are represented. His assortment of hats is impressive and his shoe collection is more varied than I ever imagined.
Sure to inspire a fond trip down memory lane for any avid longtime gamer, the Plumber’s Wardrobe T-shirt from Split Reason is a must-own item for any Mario enthusiast.
