Inspiration: My daughter and my students seemed to think i looked like the character, so I finally, and after much prodding put together a costume by shopping trift and consignment stories. The costume caost a total of $30.00 to put together, with the glves and hat bing the most costly, $11.00 each!

Favorite Aspect: The huge pop I got at MegaCon 2004 and the continued yells of "MARIO" from those who see me in the constume. it does the ego good!

Least Favorite Aspect: Being called Mario w/o the costume, it can bcome annoying.

Easiest Task: getting the basic parts of the costume in one day.

Hardest Task: Finding the hat which took 4 months to get.
