Name: Binoculars
Debut: Super Mario 3D Land
Wow! What a large and crisp render of Binoculars. This is more than a lot of enemies get. And it's all for Binoculars!
It is nice to see binoculars as an installed apparatus for public use. It reminds me of those binoculars that are sometimes at parks or zoos where you can put in a quarter and get a limited amount of time to look at ducks more closely. Let's look!
Tumblr media
Wow! There's a North American Ruddy Duck! in this pond! That's my favorite duck! The blue of the male's bill is probably my favorite color, and they are so cute, especially with their funny proportions. Their head looks too small for their body, but their feet look too BIG for the rest of them! Their feet are large and further back on their body because they are divers who swim down to find food, unlike the dabbling ducks, which keep their butts above the water while foraging. Oops! I forgot that this is a Mario Post and that we aren't actually watching ducks at a pond!
Anyway I just found out those kinds of binoculars are called Tower Viewers. More like Quacker Viewers. Ok on to Mario for real now! Mario, sadly, does not view ducks with these binoculars. They are free, however, which is nice! I'm glad there are ways for everyone to enjoy the Mushroom Kingdom's landscapes at a distance and at no costs. In fact, Mario is sometimes rewarded for using them, as a Toad will throw him a Star Medal upon being seen! A Toad who really wants to bee looked at and goes HAH BAH.
Tumblr media
Mario can also see a UFO through the binoculars sometimes! This is often brought up as a Creepy Easter Egg despite the fact that aliens have been present in this franchise since 1989!
Tumblr media
With all that about the 3D Land binoculars out of the way, I am really here to say that the binoculars in Odyssey are BETTER. They look like ROB, and overall are a Funny Robot, so they are obviously better by default! They even move around on their own as if they are looking around, and they are really so good at looking, since they are binoculars. I think the binoculars themselves are bird enthusiasts and watch them in delight constantly!
Tumblr media
These binoculars even have LORE as seen in the art book, and shared by Suppermariobroth! They are made by the same company as the 3D Land binoculars, and are an older model not capable of stereoscopic 3D! They were installed by the sightseeing company for onsite investigation, and someone has to come and collect the logs from the devices every so often. I seriously love this all sooo much! It is so cute and wonderful that they put this much thought into humble little Binoculars! BinocuLORE!
Tumblr media
I would now like to talk about just how these binoculars work! Upon being Captured, they shoot up using spray propulsion (not jet propulsion!!!) and let Mario scope out the area from the sky! Mario got extremely lucky that he happened across these specific binoculars when he happened to have the ability to Capture them, because anyone else using this would be in extreme danger. Please hang on tight!
Tumblr media
Binoculars most recently appear in Super Nintendo World, where they are now real! They use the 3D Land design, which makes sense knowing it is canonically the modern design. You can even look at certain things to get little rewards just like in the game! Super Mario in real life! Wa Who!

Attending theatrical premieres was a characteristic habit of the aristocracy of the 19th century. The artists of the imperial theaters enjoyed great respect and sometimes even the patronage of the Romanovs. On the occasion of various memorable dates, they traditionally received precious gifts from the monarchs.
While in the theater, the noble public could not only enjoy the performance, but also discuss the latest news and make important contacts. Therefore, visiting theaters, especially imperial ones, was the same social event as a ball or an official reception. Going to the theater, like going out into society, meant observing certain rules of etiquette regarding clothing and accessories. Thus, the lady’s outfit had to be quite restrained, but complemented with jewelry and elegant accessories, such as theater binoculars by Faberge.
These diamond-studded pink enamel theater binoculars can be admired as a tour de force in their own right, especially when held up to the wearer's face during a theater performance. In this work we see the richness of decor in the Rococo style characteristic of the Faberge master Mikhail Perkhin. 1898-1903
