“When you support a small business, you support a dream.” T-Shirt Tuesday is a subsection of articles written by Need Nintendo co-owner Tawny. If you are an artist/seller and would like your shirt to be featured in our T-Shirt Tuesday segment, please shoot her an email.
We’ve definitely discussed it on our Facebook page before, but virtually everyone one of us dropped that poor, baby penguin off the cliff in Super Mario 64. If you want to show off your heartlessness to the world, then look no further. Versiris Apparel has got you covered.
“Is this your baby? Mamma Mia… I might have tossed the wrong one…”
This Etsy store is run by Tanya Kozak, an independent artist who specializes in character art and animation. Her nostalgia for and love of video games led her to create top-notch gear for any Nintendo fan. Whether you’re looking for t-shirts, phone cases, or art prints, Versiris Apparel has it all.
I bought a handful of her shirts for my birthday back in 2017. To this day, the images are crisp and the material retained its softness – absolutely no complaints on my end. I love them all, but my absolute favorite makes me chuckle every time I see it. It features Chunky Kong, flexing his muscles, with the phrase “One Hell of a Guy” surrounding him. Donkey Kong 64 is one of my favorite games. And with little merchandise out there, I adore sporting this tee. After all, I gotta remind the world that Chunky Kong is far from dead, despite what the memes might say.

Additionally, the holiday season is coming up. Versiris Apparel has a Super Mario 64 t-shirt that’s funky and festive. Inspired by Cool, Cool Mountain, it features different enemies from the course. This shirt’s listing reads: “Chill with the bully, jump into the igloo, or climb the snowman’s big head.” Whichever floats your boat, I guess. All I know is that I want nothing to do with the bully and everything to do with this tee.
Perfect for your next holiday gathering.
Kozak’s art style and designs make her t-shirts top-tier. From Pokémon, to Super Mario, to The Legend of Zelda, her shop contains many different video game series. And with hundreds of 5-star reviews, her shop is impressive. It’s absolutely worth checking out! You can get a closer look at her products here.
