No, not for you, for me.

My parents and my brother have just returned from a holiday in Portugal.

My brother bought me a present.

Oneof those plastic balls you see kids kicking about on the beach, that fly everywhere because they have no weight (or very little, to say they had none would be daft).

Anyway, this ball was special. It was a MarioKart64 ball. It had Mario and Donkey Kong on it, in their karts. It's cool.

A bit strange for game related merchandise though, isn't it?

In my time I've seen dozens of game related things, from keyrings to soft toys, from books to biscuits, but what's the strangest piece of gaming related merchandise you've ever seen?

Super Mario watercolouring set:

Instructions:

Never, EVER, under any circumstances mix colours. This will confuse the general public.

I had a Super Mario alarm clock at one point though. It used to play the theme tune to... something. Over. And Over. And Over. And Over...

Got me up in the morning though, but it didn't last long.

Whilst on holiday I saw a Japanese kid who had a Team Rocket Li-lo, which was fairly strange.

I love the sound those plastic footballs make wheyou kick them though, and the fact that you can put more swerve on them than Roberto Carlos on a good day.
