These sure aren't dire dire
Rain can be pretty dispiriting, right? Granted, epic downpours are often quite exciting, particularly if you happen to be inside all warm and cosy, but if you live in certain parts of the world (shout out to our temperate climate homies), the incessant drizzle of rain during the spring and fall months can be depressing, to say the least.
It doesn't have to be, though! If you happen to be based in Japan or are okay with importing products, WPC Store is now stocking some awesome Super Mario themed umbrellas in partnership with Nintendo. There are four designs to choose from, including the classic underwater level from Super Mario Bros., a block border design, a logo design, and a design featuring various character and object sprites.
Naturally, the underwater-themed umbrella is probably our favourite of the four choices, because it just makes sense, right? Seeing water cascading down the umbrella as you're strolling through the rain, you can pretend you're right in the middle of an underwater level! Stick the theme tune on Spotify and you're good to go (oh wait, you can't).
The umbrellas can be ordered now for the relatively reasonable price of ¥1,980 (roughly $15) at WPC Store or via Amazon. You can grab them with international shipping using the links below.

These are so cute!! I'd love the underwater one...such a shame only in Japan
I think only the underwater one is nice, the others are kind of meh. Still cool though!
I have yet to see a piece of merch or clothing, with old school Mario print, that looks appealing.
As a pluviophile, I don't mind getting soaked in the rain.. love that cheap transparent umbrella from there. See-through Mario umbrella seems pretty nice.
Even the manliest of manly men couldn’t resist carrying one of these, right?
These are cool. The underwater one is the most clever of course.
I actually quite like all 4 of the designs. The worst part for me is that they decided to write Super Mario Bros on them. That instantly makes them seem more like cheap tat than quirky merchandise.

Send one my way it does nothing but rain here in Ireland anyway so one of these would be perfect.
Sadly the best one, the underwater one, is outta stock...that and would it even ship to the US?
The underwater one is cute! The rest are kind of whatever to me, though. I never really use an umbrella, so I'd probably have no use for one of these.
The underwater one is the best choice by far. Really fun.
I like the bricks one too. From a distance it has a nice stripe pattern.
The underwater one really works, rest are ugly.
Of course the underwater one is sold out already.
Ordered the underwater one from Amazon. Can't wait! I love it so much already!
I want the underwater one. I plan on getting 2 of them, one for collecting & one for using.
