Donald Kennedy, aka “Kodykoala” is continuing his Mario mech series with this custom Yoshi-bot sculpture. It was crafted from a 10-inch Yoshi vinyl Kennedy got at Walmart along with a smaller figure he picked up on eBay.

It took 250 hours and $1000 to build, but we think that this robot mecha walker costume speaks for itself.

Whoever said mechs were only for adults was an idiot. Only good things can happen when you artificially enhance a toddler’s strength right?
THe Kikai Kid’s Walker is a 5 1/2-foot tall exoskeleton designed specifically for children. Basically, it’s a more kid-friendly version of a larger mech that the Japanese company Sakakibara Kikai built as a promotional tool several years back.
Worry not though, the controls have been intentionally restricted and it does little more than shuffle along the ground in order to keep kids safe. At this point there aren’t any plans to put the device into production either, which might be disappointing to rich parents with kids that have a bully problem—although rentals may be possible down the line.

Donald Kennedy put his custom toy building talents to good use creating this concept Mario Mech which is made from a vinyl figure and a Mario keychain. He eventually plans to build Mechs for a variety of characters in Marioland so they can wreak havoc with giant versions of themselves. However, Mario’s not going to earn any intimidation points if these things are built to scale. At this rate, it looks like him and his Mech will only be the size of your average human.
