This ingenious side-scrolling Super Mario in a Box game was created using a Teagueduino and a few inputs and outputs. It pits Mario against Goombas, portal tubes and other obstructions that must be avoided, lest you end up making that universal annoyed sound that always accompanies defeat.
A knob is provided on the side for control, and as you advance, the movement increases in speed. Check out a video of the game in action, as well as a breakdown of its construction after the break.

The small amount of storage this little box gives you is not its chief selling point. Its comments that provide positive reinforcement every time it is opened is its real forte. It can be tough to convince yourself of just how wonderful you are, but it is a lot easier if it is coming from a third party. Even if that third party happens to be a box.

Whether it is a false impression does not really matter in the world of cool household product design. It is all about the first impression.
