Super Mario “Winds-up” his style with Kuribo’s Shoe
Even though Super Mario Bros. 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, to this day I still wonder who came up with the idea of having Super Mario inside a giant sock jumping on Goombas. I understand that it is located deep inside the vaults of various Nintendo Big Wig’s brains, but I can only imagine how silly it must have sounded to others during a Super Mario Bros. 3 development staff meeting. These age old wonders haven’t stopped talented crocheter from constructing Mario himself tucked away inside Kuribo’s shoe.
Looks like it’s time to dust off the old classic controller, and find this shoe again on Super Mario Bros. 3 and ponder yet another question. Why in the world can the sock jump on spikes? Thanks Adriel for the tip!
