In what I hope is simply just a fun toy, and not some attempt at commenting on Mario’s relevance, Play Asia has created a Super Mario ghost that is a fun collectible figure for Super Mario Bros. lovers (of whom I know there are many).
The Mario ghost by Play Asia is white and ghostly (go figure), but bears the cartoon's likeness with the red ‘M’ emblazoned hat. Take a look at Mario as a ghost, but don’t be scared -- he’s alive and well in all our hearts.
