Dressing up, hopping in the car, and going to pick out a new video game can be one of the most entertaining activities. It can be even more entertaining if dressed up as Mario, riding a Bullet Bill to the store, and waddling in and revealing that a duck can buy video games too. A viral video featuring a duck named Tito is showing off his dedication to video games.
The video features Tito, a duck famous for cosplaying. Tito gets ready for a trip to Gamestop by putting on his favorite red shirt, overalls, and a famous plumber’s hat. Tito’s friend and chauffeur is wearing a Luigi hat for their adventure and driving a custom tricycle with a Bullet Bill sidecar attached.
