Predators are toting giant Super Mario doll across North America and even had an Uber retrieve it

Mario doesn’t travel through pipes anymore thanks to Nashville.

For the last week, a Super Mario plush toy has been hanging with the Nashville Predators during their eight-day road trip.

The reason? The team was stranded in Tennessee because of a flight delay and decided to take a trip to the local Dave & Buster’s to kill time before heading out to Denver. The entire squad pulled together enough tickets to purchase a giant Super Mario plush.

Upon arriving in Denver, they accidentally left him at the airport! Thankfully, Mario made it to the Pepsi Center by Uber and the team has kept him ever since.

On Tuesday, the Predators finally returned home with Mario in tow. And of course, they brought him out with their mascot Gnash during their first game back at Bridgestone Arena.

Yes, we’re just as confused as you are. But yes, this is awesome.
