Handpainting Your DS Makes Mario Fart
We've seen numerous do-it-yourself paint jobs on a variety of Nintendo DS units over the years. Customizing your gaming platform of choice has been an easy way to express your inner artist while at the same time setting yourself apart from the millions of other DS users in a unique style that makes a statement about you, the user.
At the moment, if I'd had my druthers, I would be inclined to give my old DS a Professor Layton theme or even a throw back to Mr. Driller. Since I'm not so artistically inclined, when I did customize a DS for my bear for Christmas two years ago, I copped out and sprung for an easily removable Kansas State University vinyl skin. I could live with a lot of things adorning my DS, but I'm not so sure about this.
Flickr user, Punkfish, opted to take the road less traveled and did a bang-up job painstakingly painting an old pink DS in full Mario goodness, replete with a super mushroom, a koopa, a warp pipe, and uh... a farting Mario.
Some things just defy explanation, but make for a good laugh! Thanks to Punkfish for sharing all of his hard work with us!
