Mario Mini Market in Reddish, Stockport

Finding a super market in South Reddish.

We took our daily exercise in the Reddish area of Stockport yesterday and while having a wander we spotted Mario Mini Market on Gorton Road.

There's another branch in Levenshulme, Manchester.

I've also seen Mario and Luigi ice cream vans in Buxton and Hathersage, Mario movers in Newcastle, Mario's takeaway in Barnsley, and three Mario, Luigi and Mario & Luigi takeaways in Blackpool!

Happy birthday Nintendo Game Boy

Happy 31st birthday to the Nintendo Game Boy.

The Nintendo Game Boy was released in Japan on this day in 1989.

I got mine in 1992 or 93. I've still got it too.

Lazlos' Loop for the Nintendo Game Boy, the last game I bought for the Game Boy. I picked this up earlier this year

Game Boy Minigolf

We've seen a few Game Boy inspired minigolf holes, obstacles and artwork on our travels.

This Game Boy inspired hole can be found at Teezers Retro Golf in Coventry.

The things you see at Car Boot Sales!

On Saturday we called in at a car boot sale at Trinity Park in Ipswich to see if we could snap up some bargains. In among all the tat we saw these two items side by side.

I was tempted to buy both, combine them and make a Nintendo Ouija

What's the strangest thing you've seen at a car boot sale?

Mario's takeaway in Barnsley

Spotting a Super Mario takeaway in Barnsley.

I thought Mario was a Plumber by trade

We were in Barnsley at the weekend and while exploring the town we spotted this bootleg Super Mario takeaway in the town centre!

Mario's takeaway in Barnsley

Mario's a character rather than a gamer!

It's not the first use of Mario we've seen on a takeaway as 'he' also has a branch in Blackpool.

There's also a Mario Mini Market up the road from us in Levenshulme, Manchester!

While having a wander along the Stockport Road in Levenshulme we spotted Super Mario on the sign for a mini market!

In August we spotted Mario's takeway in Blackpool. That place also had Luigi on the window.

Mario's in Blackpool

On a trip to Blackpool it was super to see Nintendo are getting into the takeaway business.

I bet Luigi was miffed he didn't get his name on the sign too

Popeye and 'facebook' also have takeaways in Blackpool!
