I’m not going to lie, when this Super Mario lamp first came out – I bought one instantly (you can see my image of it on my desk below), and I haven’t regretted it since. You always need lamps, whether at home or at the office, so why not get one that encapsulates a beloved franchise? Especially one like the Super Mario series that was a fundamental party of many childhoods.

The Super Mario lamp features the traditional question block with a dangling Mario mid-jump – it also has the iconic green base to make it feel even more authentic. According to ThinkGeek:

“Right. It’s-a me, Mario, here to talk-a to you about this-a light. Let’s get-a one thing straight first: there is to be no punching of your new Super Mario Question Block Lamp, capeesh? Mamma Mia, I shouldn’t have to say such things. Right, then. Here we go.”

*drops Italian accent* Let this Super Mario Question Block Lamp brighten your life both by providing illumination (duh) and by bringing some childhood whimsy to your space. When you pull Mario down and release him up to punch, the light turns on (or off). Bonus. Literally.
