Why should Mario and Lugi have sole access to easy cash that is contained in breakable mortar? If you’re anything like us, then you’re probably seething at all the free cash that is lying around world 1-1, but things might be changing soon when this block of easily-recognisable pop culture hits store shelves soon.

Okay, while it may not be the actual gold-coin giving block of wonder that we were expecting, the Super-Mario game coin block is still a chunk of awesome, as it combines interactivity with nostalgic fun, all wrapped up in one cool-looking lamp.

Costing $75, the lamp can be turned on and off with a convenient thump, and every time the lamp gets hit for an eighth time, it’ll play a familiar 1-up sound effect.

A low-cost method of immortality combined with illuminative properties? I’ll take ten!
