Super Mario Singing Glow Star plays that old familiar tune

Nearly six-inches tall — in-scale for the tiny dwarf a real-life Mario would be before eating an HGH-infused mushroom — this "Super Mario Singing Glow Star" sold at Thinkgeek for $18 will, when pressed, play the invulnerability theme from Super Mario Bros. while glowing on and off. Watch out co-workers! Dan from Sales is smashing ceiling tiles and landing flat-footed on your sack lunch.

Oh, cheap plastic crap, you're so adorable when making a meta-reference to my childhood! I will resist until someone wires this to an aerosol container of PCP, a blast of which would give me the closest analog to momentary shimmering omnipotence that I'll ever experience.

I need this, and other powerups, to keep in my scooter.

To make a metareference to my childhood they'd need to make one that's a simple glowing square that makes the Pong "Boop" noise. I can't really wax poetical about that; its just "Boop... Boop... Boop..."

Wonder how long until someone mods one to play the "Can-can" à la Super Mario Land.
