Gaming themed shirts? Check. Gaming themed socks? Ditto. Gaming themed corsets? Hrm. This must be a first for Kotaku: a Mario corset. From the Etsy page:
A supercute corset made from alternating RARE & vintage Super Mario Brothers and red & white polka dot print fabric, topped off with bias tape flanking the bodice, a delicate sweetheart-shaped bustline, two polka dot ribbon bows, crude contrast stitching and silver metal grommets in the back so you can lace up! FULLY boned for support.
Fully what? Hit the jump for view of the back.

Sexy!
In a creepy kind of way.
"Gaming themed shirts? Check. Gaming themed socks? Ditto. Gaming themed corsets?"
Now all we need are panties and bras and we can have a gaming themed strip show. Finally, a justifiable "woo-hoo!" and "Mamma-Mia" from Mario after all these years.
I SOOO have the jubblies to pull that off. Just check jayntampa's avi. ;-) I'd rock it, to a con or something. Maybe just for fun. Throw it on with my Pacman sneakers.
:-p
Horrifying. It looks like he's punching a titty. Also when you look at someone wearing a corset you don't want to be reminded of a short hairy plumber.
Mario's kinda coppin' a feel there, huh.
I swear I had bed sheets with the exact same design when I was younger, which kinda puts this whole getup in an entirely different context. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet, but, uh..... give me a few minutes.
@Menolly: As do i. If it's a breasts contest you want it's a breasts contest you'll get!
Fully boned? I think they mean that if you're a woman-type, wearing this out in public, you might magnetically attract sweaty nerds. Therefore, you're boned. Fully.
The "fabric print" is actually part of a Super Mario and Link bed sheet set. I had them until my dad used them for grease rags... :(
@onidavin: I like your description better.
@NessD12: Everyone's a winner in breast contests.
boned, meaning there's support wire inside so it's not just a tube top.
-delorted's girlfriend <3!
Do want, again. Stop making me want things I can't possibly afford/find Kotaku!
@onidavin- I guess you have a point. Can't waste awesome jubblies on a creepy image. I wonder what my bf would think if I put that on.
@NessD12: I want a breast contest. I think Kotaku should have one.
lol thats actually pretty cool.
too bad my g/f isn't into games. She would totally rock something like that if it had FLCL or something on it. :D
@ NessD12- jubblies for all teh fanboys, or summat. ;-) But seriously, would you really wear it? I might, for a laugh.
Is it okay to slightly resent my penis because of this? I mean, I'd never part with it, but sometimes girls get to wear things that big, bearded guys cannot.
The mario portions of the corset are from a set of bed sheets. I think there's still at least one set of those in my parents linen closet.
@Menolly:
Taking it off?
And to do the @ thing when responding to someone, just hit the bendy arrow thing to the right of their username. I think nearly everyone just types @ before a name their first time thinking it will somehow make an automatic link.
How do you do gaming-themed corsets and not have one for Castlevania?
@Menolly: It wouldn't fit me so no :)
@Klayonic: Ah you beat me to it. I was wondering if anyone else recognized it.
@Sloopydrew:
Including myself.
I meant to end the last sentence of my last post with "including myself" but my mind was still too distracted thinking about jubblies in a Mario corset.
I'm gonna go play Condemned 2 now.
@Cathaoir: Look man you do what you have to. Wear that shit with pride.
Hmm... not quite resenting my penis yet.
At least it would put a weird twist on the renaissance festival. Retro-Medieval?
That looks like it was made from the old bed sheet set they used to sell back in the 80s! :D
@Sloopydrew:
Hahaha, sorry. Don't think my bf would approve. However, if you know where to look, there are better pics around. :-p Bikini shots and such.
I wonder what they will come out with, next.
Did anyone else notice that the Mario they have plastered up on the busty vixen is actually the Mario form the ill-fated cartoon series? (Super Mario World)
AKA the ugliest Mario of all time.

@NessD12:
It looks like it may be too big for me. I have the luxury of sporting huge jubblies, but I have a tiny waist and ribcage. Then again, I guess I could just make it tighter. The corset I wear to the Ren Faire is a 32.
@Menolly: No no, you're misunderstanding.
I wonder what my bf would think if I put that on.
Taking it off?
He's just answering your question. :O
On a side note, I fully endorse a breast contest. Kotaku, make it happen!
hahaha- wow, I must be tired. But yeah, I'm game for a jubblies contest. I'm tall and thin, with a great pair of jubblies. ;-) That tank top does them no justice at all.
@budash2: AKA the ugliest Mario of all time.
Never seen Saturday Morning Supercade?
@budash2: Oh please dont remind me i used to wake up sooo early to watch that show as a kid man that was horrible, BUT since it was Mario it was cool... kind of...
@Lancehead: I wholeheartedly agree. However, I think the breast contestants (breastestants?) should be made to do something game-related, since it IS a game blog... see whose boobs can get the farthest in Geometry Wars?
I do shudder to think what might happen if the ladies demand something equal from us.
@Mikaze: Now I feel the need to send in scans of a horrid German Mario comic I own. You thought that cartoon was poorly made...
Wow, that is incredibly well made and it looks professionally made. Not something I'd wear but very cute anyways.
BOOBS! YAAAAAAAAY!
@MisterSleep:
lmao. If Kotaku held a wet t- shirt contest, and I wore my Zelda top, would that count? :-p Dreamers!
I do think it is very well made. I wonder what size it really is. The more I look at it, the more I think it's really cute. I'm old, so I like the retro stuff. ;-)
That's not Mario, it's Ron Jeremy!
I think its cute :P
I love Kotaku after-hours. Please, sun, take your time rising!
@Cathaoir: As a fellow big, bearded guy, I completely understand.
This is full of so much win, and I have no ability to use it. Life is unfair like that sometimes.
My old sheets used to have that design. It also had a Legend of Zelda section that I guess was not included in the making of this coreset.
I just noticed I was not the only person with these sheets.
It looks cute, until you look carefully at the mario design. I think he looks pretty ugly like that. Rather disturbing.
@Sloopydrew: Got your mario panties covered (amazing what Google finds...).
Boning refers to back in the day when corsets used to use actual whale bone to reinforce the seams. Boning today means there's pieces of plastic inside the seams. Gives it shape. I think this thing is sexy! Rock on ladies.
The graphics are kind of lame/silly, otherwise I know a female friend who would totally rock this.
I so want to see that on someone...
Eyesore.
@Witzbold:
Hah, I had those and the Legend of Zelda sheets also.
OMIGAWD THEY RUINED A MARIO SHEET SET!!!
i figure someone was gunna say, may as well be me
@DeLoRtEd1: The support inside used to be whalebone. Long ago. Lace the back, the flexible boning would push up the boobs and mash in the waste. Remember Scarlett being corseted in Gone with the Wind? Oh, sorry, forgot you are all too young for that stuff.
@Chilly Hollow:
Of course, I remember that! I have it on DVD. b(^ ^)
@onidavin: same thing i was thinking. last thing i want to be reminded of when looking at a girls jubblies is a plumbers crack
@Sloopydrew:
Now all we need are panties and bras and we can have a gaming themed strip show
Done!
@MisterSleep: don't worry, that ain't gonna happen.
on topic, that corset is horribly cute, but damn, it looks like he'd be punching me in the tit. ow.
Nerd fantasies everywhere have dwindled.
@geekgrrl: Better than right in the baby maker...
@BRandomS: Actually, proper corsets are made with steel boning (I prefer 1/2"). The crappy garments you find in retail stores with the plastic in them are generally referred to as bustiers.
I would totally wear that.
I wouldn't leave my apartment.
But I would wear it.
so hot and sexy
It still won't make fat uglies look sexy.
I would like to see this on a number of females.
I actually think it looks very good.
@Cap'n Jack: There are actually people who are attracted to bigger women, you know. There are fetishes for everything you can think of. XD
Just because something isn't portrayed in the media doesn't mean it doesn't exist. ;3
