Some have called Super Mario Odyssey a perfect game, but Pat and I have managed to make it even more perfect with a cardboard Cappy and mustache. How does it play?

In addition to cardboard, a hot glue gun, a couple of electric motors, and a bunch of wire, you’ll also need hacking skills that rival MacGyver to build your own Mario game on the cheap.

With a project called Tinycade, graduate student Peter Gyory has set out to recreate that arcade parlor experience from childhood—entirely out of junk.

A creative fan designs an arcade Mario Kart machine out of cardboard, along with a drivable kart from the beloved Nintendo series.

All you need to make your own Tinycade game is some cardboard, a smartphone, two small mirrors, rubber bands, and toothpicks.

This DIY cardboard playhouse was created especially with small spaces in mind: when the kids tire of it, the playhouse collapses flat for easy storage!
