Model and proud Nintendo Switch super-player Christine Teigen made a mistake. And it's gonna take a holiday miracle to fix it.

Like many of us, Teigen's been obsessively playing (and posting amazing Twitter content about) Super Mario Odyssey since its release last month.

But tragedy struck on Friday, Nov. 24, when she forgot the portable console in the Courtyard Marriott in Springfield, Ohio. Now, she needs her own blue overall-wearing hero to materialize from a green pipe because, "I need my moons back."

Her cry for help reads like a modern version of the famed six-word novel: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Only, in Teigen's case, it's: "Lost Switch, didn't reach final castle."

The console can be seen on her Twitter feed only a few days prior to going missing, in a video of her ignoring floor seats at a Lakers game to instead spend more quality time in the outskirts of New Donk City.

This isn't the first Nintendo loss Teigen's ever suffered, either. One good Samaritan gave her something of a talking-to, asking why she hadn't learned to take better care of her Nintendo-ware after a similar incident in Beaverton, Oregon. But, Teigen lamented, "I lose what I use :( ."

Luckily, it appears the super model is already in the process of tracking down the Switch in question, though. So she seems to have narrowly escaped the tragedy of losing your progress in a game. (And thank god, cause Switches are still like really hard to come by and didn't get a single Black Friday deal.)

But, at least for the time being, it looks like Teigen's princess is in another Marriott.
