Like the Fisher-Price Game & Learn Controller, the Laugh & Learn Lil’ Gamer, which looks like a chunky colorful Game Boy, plays a series of Super Mario Bros. sound effects when you enter the Konami Code.
Not satisfied with just that retro Easter egg, modder Mark Ghirardi upgraded the guts of the Lil’ Gamer and gave it a proper LCD screen turning it into a functional handheld emulator complete with small shoulder buttons on the back and USB-C charging.
