Super Mario 8 Bit Mushroom Keychain

The power-up mushroom from the early Nintendo platformers, rebuilt as a keyring charm: domed spotted cap, stubby stem, two dot eyes, and the whole silhouette held to a chunky pixel grid rather than smooth curves. Every edge steps instead of bending, which is the point of it — the shape should read as 8-bit at a glance, the way the sprite did on a CRT across a living room. This is the sort of charm that ends up on house keys, a rucksack zip or a lanyard, and it works just as well as a stall item or a party favour, since it needs no explanation to anyone who grew up with the games. It comes as a small multi-file set, so a batch can be run off and handed round. Retro-gaming collectors, gift-makers and anyone furnishing a games room with small recognisable details will find a use for it.
