Jul 20 2009N64 Mod Looks Like Super Mario 64 Castle
Some guy went and modded an N64 to look like Princess Peach's castle from Super Mario 64. I think he used modeling clay or something. Anyway, it sold on eBay for a cool Eisenhower Franklin. That's $100 for those of you who have never seen one.
Up for auction is a hand-designed custom Nintendo 64 made to look like Peach's Castle from Super Mario 64. The exterior of the castle has been molded to look like the bricks and roof tiles, then painted. The mural of Princess Peach is a very detailed mosaic and the five flags are made of cloth. The top part of the castle is removable so you can put a game cartridge inside when you need to.
Yeah well what if I don't wanna put a game cartridge inside? What if I want to jam a piece of bread in there? "That isn't a toaster, GW!" SHUT UP I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! Now, why is my bread still cold?
Hit the jump for a couple more pictures, including a closeup of the mosaic.

Thanks to Julian, who modded his Wii to look like Castle Grayskull.

@4
you've failed at much more than that.....
7. naas - July 20, 2009 12:54 PM
@4 failing is probably regular over there, I hear chugging gasoline can break this streak of yours
It looks like a Mario Bros firework mortar. Too bad the thing doesn't fit in the tv cabinet anymore

hrm...it looked like a cake at first....

Too bad that cake looks like its made of fondant. Fondant tastes like crap.
BTW why are there controller plugs sticking out the front of this cake?
You know what this cake needs....a souvenier eagle head.

Anyone else have video game dreams? Super Mario 64 is the game that I've had dreams about the most even though i've played other games way more. They are all pretty much the same: visuals not unlike those that come from too much LSD combined with the camera dynamics from Mario 64. Pretty rad.

@12 I've dreamt I could roll into a ball like metroid once. I could NOT however leave little bombs behind me without ruining my pants

I once dreamed I was eaten by a grue. When I woke up it was just root beer head.

Seriously, @12, your paintings are awesome. You dream about a lot more things than Mario.

Pretty cool mod. Cakelike sort of.

Anyone could put lipstick on a pig.
20. shadwag - July 20, 2009 2:38 PM
the shadows seem a little suspect.

@Everyone who said it looked like a cake: Agreed
What a terrible idea for a mod.
22. Don - July 20, 2009 3:55 PM
EPIC AWESOME!!!
23. Pat - July 20, 2009 4:22 PM
@ 1 & 2: It DOES look edible, in your defense.
24. Mr. Stratford - July 20, 2009 7:37 PM
Wait... so, it's not a cake? Maybe it's supposed to be a mod of a castle cake, that you can put your N64 in. Yeah, that seems about right.
25. Daisy - July 20, 2009 10:21 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max paid an orderly to let him stick his weiner in a coma patient. Unfortunately for him, this coma patient wasn't coma'd any more and she kicked the crap out of him, and stole the orderly's pussy wagon.

If you took the time to mod it, why would you sell it? Oh wait, it's because it looks like Princess Peach's Castle........sort of.
