Super Mario Bros Touch Pen Knock

The recently merged Takara and Tomy conglomerate taps into the Nintendo DS stylus market with a pair of banana colored New Super Mario Bros touch pens that click. Similar in dimension to the Rakuna Touch Pen from Hori, the Touch Pen Knock is sized like an actual ballpoint pen for users who have big and beefy hands.
A clicker on the top of the pen may be plunged to eject the tip of the stylus from the plastic housing that it calls home. Once you're done playing your daily session of Brain Age or Sudoku, plunge the clicker again to recede the tip of the stylus back into the barrel. Like a turtle.

Unfortunately, there's no mounting bracket to attach the pen to a hole on the NDS or NDS Lite but then again, a pen this big is almost as lengthy as the NDS hardware. There is a little clip on the side of the pen however to attach it to your shirt pocket. Failing that, the pen may be slipped into a man-purse or tucked between one's right ear and noggin.

Economical Shipping Option
If the New Super Mario Bros. Touch Pen Knock is ordered by itself, NCS will ship with the lowest cost method which is first class mail within the United States. The shipping cost will be US$1.84 for an order total of $11.84.
