Put on the attire of your favorite fighter, hero or heroine and take to the streets. Or just stay in like Mario and Luigi and do what you enjoy more than anything: play video games, of course.

If you're not a gaming geek and you see one of these costumes, you might not have a clue who these people are supposed to be. Like the rather large proportioned man running bare-chested down the hallway. I wouldn't know!
