My sister bought the following chest as a gift for this Christmas. After she got it, she showed it to me to ask if this was a genuine Nintendo item or if it's a fake. You can check out the pictures here. I'm on the fence with this, so I'm asking you guys. Besides, it's a pretty neat item. On the one hand, most of the images are very similar or exactly the same as official Nintendo artwork. I'm sure you can recognize most of the stuff being straight out of game manuals or licensed merchandise. On the other hand, there's a few things off. First, the backgrounds for the Super Mario Bros. 3 and Link and Impa images aren't right. Also, Fire Mario has green eyes instead of blue. Anyway, any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

That's Luigi, not Fire Mario- that was his color scheme in the original Super Mario Bros.
It looks custom- a good deal of the art is from the games, but there are a few spots of interest- the aforementioned Luigi (AFAIK, no art of his OG color scheme exists), King Koopa instead of Bowser in SMB3 (His art changed to reflect his modern design with that game).
