Godzilla?

That’s right, Mario Mayhem has now moved into debunking myths and explaining the origins of giant monsters. Or at least one anyway!

Thanks to Black Dragon for emailing this through to me, it’s greatly appreciated! This is an awesome custom Yoshi Mech created by kodykoala! This piece is simply awesome, what screams “awesome Nintendo thing” than Yoshi controlling a larger metal Yoshi? I’m not sure, but if you have something that does I’d love to post it on our blog!

Enjoy these awesome pictures!

Shadow has passed along an amazing photo today! Before now I had no idea what a “Bento box” was but it is actually a partitioned lunchbox in which a bento is served, or more accurately a Japanese takeaway lunch served in a box!

This fantastic Bento Box features Yoshi, Kirby, 2 stars and a little Yoshi Egg! Enjoy this awesome Nintendo Bento Box!
