This Mario pen starts off being pretty nifty: it's a ballpoint pen that has a separate nub so that you can use it as a stylus for your DS. But then the folks who made it had to throw in sounds effects, too, thus ensuring that someone in your vicinity will hurl it out the window before you've managed to sample more than a few of the six included Mario-themed sounds.
Think I'm exaggerating? Go here and push the button, you'll see what I mean. It's also ten bucks, which is a little on the pricey side for a plastic pen. Could be worse, though--could be the talking Dirty Dancing pen.
