\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s Wonder Week here at GamerDad, where we\u2019ll look at three things released related to Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Nintendo made a real life toy version of one of those Talking Flowers that first appeared in Wonder and later in the newest Mario Party and Tennis entries.\u00a0 I got one so let\u2019s take a look at it.<\/p>\n

Here is a bigger picture of the front of the box.<\/p>\n

And here are the other sides of the box.<\/p>\n

Last is the talking flower out of the box.<\/p>\n

So the bottom part of the pot pops off and you can put two AA batteries inside (not included of course).\u00a0 There\u2019s also a little digital LCD screen on the bottom where you can set the time.\u00a0 Then your talking flower will tell you the time every hour, and say something randomly otherwise.\u00a0 I found that aside from the hour, the flower will say two different things in an hour, around 20 minutes or so apart.\u00a0 It gets annoying, but luckily you can mute the flower.\u00a0 Supposedly it can also play music, but I didn\u2019t get that to work.\u00a0 Ultimately it\u2019s just a cheaper more annoying Alarmo and I wasn\u2019t that impressed with it.\u00a0 Not worth the price, even if it was cheaper than I thought it would be.\u00a0 \u2013Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
