Best Character DesignsNintendo Super Mario Periodic Table Graphic T-Shirt
A great design featuring great characters
This stylish t-shirt depicts many of the Mario franchise’s iconic characters. It comes in several different colors and the design genuinely looks nice on every single one of them.
Pros & Cons- 12 colors and they all pair well with the design
- The individual pictures are small
For those who can’t decide which of the franchise’s many characters they want on their t-shirt, this periodic table of characters is here so you can have all of them at once! Dozens of the franchise’s most notable characters, and a handful of items, are featured on this shirt.
It comes in 12 colors, and none of them pair badly with the main design, which is an impressive feat, considering the large number of different colors the main design incorporates.

Best GameSuper Mario UNO
Don’t forget to say uno!
With art featuring various characters from the series, this fully playable uno set in a collectible tin is a great game for Mario fans to play with others. After all, everyone knows how to play Uno!
Pros & Cons- Wide variety of art
- Great game to play
- Collectable tin
- You might forget to say Uno just like you always do
If you’re looking for a multiplayer experience but can’t get your friends and family to play Mario Party with you, this just might be the product you want. Coming in a collectable tin, this fully playable Uno deck features art of various characters from the series.
They went a bit above and beyond with the art they included here. There’s not just one picture for each type of card. Some of the wild cards have a picture of Mario with an Invincibility Star, while others contain a picture of the Koopa Kids. As a result, there are a lot of pretty pictures to look at here to look at while you play.
Best MugSuper Mario Bros. Heat Changing Mug
Move between levels just by pouring yourself a cup!
Themed after the original smash-hit Super Mario game, this collectible coffee mug moves Mario from an underground area to a vibrant outdoor 8-but map whenever you pour a hot drink inside it! The effect works really well!
Pros & Cons- Two great designs
- Color change
- Hand-wash only
Great for coffee drinking gamers, this high-quality color-changing mug normally shows a black design modeled after Mario’s underground levels, but, when a hot liquid is poured inside, the picture changes to a colorful outdoor level! Both designs look great, and the effect that switches between them looks even better.
This is a great coffee mug for any gamer, or any fan of color-changing mugs, as it’s a quite excellent example of that technology. Do be warned, though, it’s not dishwasher safe, and the design will fade if it’s put through a dishwasher.
Best Coin BankSuper Mario Bros. Box Coin Bank
Cute premise for a cute item
This 7” square coin bank highlights one of the franchise’s recognizable aspects, its collectible coins, and spins that into a fun and useful household item. Its clear glass front allows you to watch it fill with coins as you add them!
Pros & Cons- Stores coins
- Great design modeled on the modern Mario platformers
- Using it for its intended purpose covers up some of the art
Collectable coins are yet another of the many, many recognizable aspects of the Mario franchise. Inspired by that fact, this square coin box is a great place to store spare bits of change that you manage to collect here and there.
As this box fills, you can see the coins accumulate, creating the appearance that they’re appearing around Mario as they sometimes do in the games. Though this process covers up some of the background art, the most important parts, Mario, the coins, and the pipes, are on the glass at the front, and will remain visible, even as the space they’re in is replaced with coins!

Posts Best Stationery PotSuper Mario Warp Pipe Flower Pot And Pen Holder
For all your ceramic-container based needs
With a variety of uses, this ceramic container is decorated to look like one of the Mario games’ iconic green pipes. It's suitable for storing a wide variety of objects, from plants to pencils!
Pros & Cons- Variety of uses
- Iconic design
- Does not actually lead underground
One of the best categories of merch is usable items that appear to be specific things from the property they’re taken from. For instance, the ceramic object, which can be used as anything from a flower planter to a pen organizer, appears to be one of the iconic pipes our favorite plumber uses to move between worlds.
A plant is an especially fitting thing to put in here, but that’s just one of many things you can do with this versatile object.

Best LampSuper Mario Bros Piranha Plant LED Desk Light
Chomp chomp he’s gonna get ya
This posable, adjustable desktop lamp is designed after the piranha plant, one of Mario’s most iconic enemies. With a flexible neck, it can be adjusted and posed however you like.
Pros & Cons- Adjustable lamp
- Great look
- A bit too small
Perhaps you’d like to have your own Piranha plant without having to go through the trouble of growing your own Venus Flytrap to place in the pot above. Understandable. The Venus Flytrap is a high-maintenance plant most suitable for experienced botanists. You’ll probably be better off with this desktop lamp that recreates one of the many iconic designs of Mario’s piranha plant.
This 3D recreation of one of Mario’s oldest enemies functions as a desktop lamp whose light emerges from the object’s mouth. The head is adjustable, so you can point it in the direction that works for you and your desk.
Best Travel MugSuper Mario Warp Pipe Travel Mug
Your drink will emerge from this mug like a Mario brother from a pipe
This 450 ml stainless steel travel mug depicts Mario and Luigi, one on each side, emerging from a warp pipe. Perfect for taking with you on the go.
Pros & Cons- High-quality materials
- Leakproof
- The image leads some to wrongly believe this is a two-pack. It is not. You will only receive one mug.
Yet another functional object that appears to be a Mario warp pipe, we have a stainless steel travel mug whose bottom appears to be a warp pipe. The rest of it shows the Mario brothers (Mario on one side, Luigi on the other) emerging from said warp pipe.
Be warned that, despite the image on the Amazon page seeming to show two mugs, this is not a two-pack. There is only one mug here, but that one mug is made of high-quality material and has great images of some of gaming’s most iconic characters!
FAQ
What is the most iconic Mario item?
This is a value judgment, but one compelling candidate would be the power-up mushrooms that have been around since the original Super Mario Bros. These power-ups appear in numerous games, usually allowing Mario to grow bigger and stronger.
What is the best-selling Mario of all time?
Surprisingly enough, the best-selling Mario game isn’t the original generation-defining platformer or one of its famous main-series successors. Instead, it’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
What is the rarest Mario?
Related to the above, the rarest Mario game was the Wii U Limited Edition version of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was available only from the Nintendo New York store. Only 350 copies were ever made, and the game is worth over $1,000.
