Mario (San-ei Super Mario Galaxy Set)

*For other uses, see Mario (disambiguation).*
The San-ei Super Mario Galaxy Mario is in a sitting position. He has a red hat, which has a white emblem with an embroidered red "M" on it. There is a brim at the front of the hat as well, and the skin of the plush is a cream-like color. There are two embroidered, black eyebrows above the eyes. The eyes are embroidered onto the face, and have white scleras, light blue irises, black pupils, which have white eye shines, and blue highlights in them. The nose is round and there is a mustache below it. The mustache has noticeable bumps as well. The ears have some brown hair in front of them, and there is more brown hair at the back of the head. This Mario wears a red undershirt, and blue overalls over it. His overalls have two straps, which each have a felt, yellow button on them. The gloves are white and have thumbs on them, as well as stitching on them to represent fingers. In the hands is a Super Mushroom, which has a red mushroom cap and a cream-colored bottom. The Super Mushroom has five white, circular spots on it, having one at the front, one on top, one at the back, one on the left, and one on the right. There are two embroidered eyes on the bottom, which are black and have white eye shines in them. Mario's shoes are brown and made out of felt, and have yellowish brownish soles on them.

## Bootleg

The bootleg San-ei Super Mario Galaxy Mario is rather odd compared to the official. This bootleg can come with a suction cup and string, though suction cups and strings are not present on any official San-ei Mario plushes. The embroidery on the eyes can look cheaper, and the mustache has less defined bumps on it. The mushroom is noticeably different from its official counterpart. The mushroom is held by the hands being on its mushroom cap, though the official is holding the mushroom from the bottom. The white spots on the cap are slightly smaller, and the eyes are significantly larger than how they are on the official. This bootleg will usually use a fake New Super Mario Bros hang-tag, which is a commonly used hang-tag on several San-ei and Banpresto bootlegs. Obviously, this hang-tag is wrong, as the game of origin for these plushes is Super Mario Galaxy.

## Trivia

* This is the third plush of Mario San-ei has made, with its predecessors being the San-ei Super Mario Sunshine Set Mario and the Mario Party 5 Mario.
	+ Additionally, this is very similar to the Super Mario Set Mario, Mario & Pipe, and New Super Mario Bros Wii Set Mario plushes, as it stabilized the design of a lot of San-ei's plushes of Mario.

## Errors/Inaccuracies

* This Mario plush is holding a Super Mushroom, despite the Super Mushroom not being present in Super Mario Galaxy.
	+ It is uncertain to why this is, though it is possible that it was done to distinguish it from San-ei's Mario Party 5 Mario.
		- Additionally, while there is no Super Mushroom that appears in Super Mario Galaxy, there is an unused model of one that appears in the game's files, which helps the game run properly.

## Where to Buy

The San-ei Super Mario Galaxy Mario isn't too hard to find. He tends to show up on eBay the most, as well Mercari and Yahoo Japan Auctions occasionally. Prices, however, go rather high, typically ranging from $90-$150, sometimes even going for more, so if you want to get a cheaper one, you will have to check often and wait for one. Skeptical stock listings on eBay, AliExpress, and Wish, among other sites are untrustworthy, as you are guaranteed to get a bootleg from them most of the time.
