Creating an entire Super Mario Bros. outfit is now possible thanks to the Mario Question Block Hat. The Mario Question Block Hat is a black cap styled after the iconic question mark boxes that first appeared in the original Mario game.
Unlike the question mark boxes in the game, I doubt you will be rewarded for headbutting the question mark box on this cap with coins or power-ups. However, this does not take away from its flair or originality. It lets wearers express their love for gaming in a way only true nerds will understand. Video-game fashion has become more mainstream over the years, but any hipster can wear a Bowser t-shirt. It takes a true gamer to rock a Mario Question Block Hat.
