I may or may not have recently joked that we could stamp “MARIO” on the side of a cardboard box and it would then become my children’s favorite toy. I don’t know what it is about that guy (maybe it’s the mustache?), but every video game he touches seems to be laced with awesome.

While it’s still on the high end of what I’m willing to pay for such things, the fact that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is currently $37 at Amazon is tempting me, because that’s still a good 25% cheaper than I’ve seen it anywhere else, and I’m guessing the kids will go nuts for it.

Plus, if I buy this now, I will be less tempted to lose my mind and fight the Black Friday crowds for a special discount on some new game that they probably wouldn’t like as much as this.
