If memory serves, that Bowser art came right out of the SMB instruction manual (except it was in black and white, of course).

I have this exact Fan, in my bed room. My mom bought it for me when I was 6 years old for $30 dollars. It still works fine, no problems with it, just got some glow in the dark sticker stars from that age of stickers going on everything. But this fan rocks, and it still keeps me cool while playing.

I wouldn't trust a 20 year old ceiling fan, no matter how amazing it looks!

@egyptiansushi:
For the record, Princess Peach's hair was actually brown during the NES/Famicom era. It was during the SNES era that her hair changed to blonde.

Lame. If they'd asked me to design this thing, I would've made the fan blades translucent except for the mario/luigi figure, and then included a 'world' decal that you could put on the ceiling above it. That way it'd look like they were running around the world. (Or flying, if you went with raccoon-suit mario..)

When I first saw the picture I thought they were some sort of spankin' paddles.

I had the sheets and pillowcase! I remember them fondly!
Unfortunatly, the dog we had at the time shredded them.
Man I was depressed that day.

@Sailorcancer:

Might have something to do with the fact that it was made in 1988 (assuming from reading article).

Love the art. I myself probably would have taken it apart and hung it on my wall instead of using it as a fan.

I used to have a Super Mario Bros. pillow. To be exact, it was one of those jumbo-sized pillows. Course this was back in the late '80s, along with everything else.
