Just sharing a neat little SMB 30th anniversary pin

Hey all, just showing off a little pin I got from the Nintendo rep that came to our store recently. I'm sure these aren't rare or valuable, but I was happy to get it to go with my video game stuff.

It truely is Kickass and all, and my comment isn't meant to put it down, but... for icons they included a Star and even Toadstool's Crown.... but no mushroom??? and whats that 'diamond' block???

As I say, it's awesome, my favorite thing is that the whole button is designed AS a "mario block/box" with the corner rivets.... but some of it's design choices strike me odd...

That's actually a trampoline. The "diamond" is the spring.

Yes that is the trampoline from 8-2.

I thought it would have been a cool if the crown at the bottom had a "k" after it. I believe that's what the SMB game displayed when you had 30 men.

I've got one of these but I forget where it came from. There were some SMB 30th Anniversary Christmas ornaments and snowglobes that my wife bought a few months ago. I don't know if it came with one of those or if the store was giving them out with purchases or what. It's a pretty cool pin, though, I think.

I got mine last year at Walmart, about the same time SMB celebrated the 30th. My Mother got a couple from Toys R Us, they had too much leftover.

 

So not rare but very neat to have.
