Due to the great success ofThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, gaming’s favorite Italian plumber has been everywhere.Toys, t-shirts, cereal, lunch boxes — you name it and Mario, along with the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, has been on it. There seems to be no limit toSuper Mario’s reach, and now you’re able to add Oreos to the character’s long list of sweet treats.
Nintendo has announced new limited editionSuper MarioOreos that will feature 16 symbols from the popular gaming franchise. The characters include Mario,Luigi, Toad,Princess PeachYoshi,Bowser, Bowser Jr. Goomba, and Boo, but the packs will have classic series power-ups as well. The Fire Flower, Super Mushroom, and a Super Star are just some of the famous items you can find in cookie form. Sadly there’s no way to gain the actual abilities of these power-ups. When talking about the historic partnership Senior Brand Manager at OreoVishnu Nairsaid, “Oreo is always looking to bring new offerings to our fans, and we are thrilled to unveil this super partnership with the iconicSuper Mariofranchise.” He would continue on by saying, “There are so many playful synergies between Oreo andSuper Mario, it was a no-brainer for us to team up to connect fans of all ages through this delightfully playful cookie collaboration.” Nair would finish, “We hope to unite cookie lovers andSuper Marioenthusiasts alike with this playful mission, inspired by a storyline fans know all too well. We may even reveal a surprise as a thank you to those who successfully defeat Bowser and save the kingdom… Fans will have to wait and see!”
What Nair is referring to is that Oreo’sSuper Mariopartnership doesn’t end with just the cookies. There’s a social media challenge that coincides with this delicious release that will have fans trying to stack as manyMariohero-themed Oreos on top of aBowser-themed Oreo as they can. However, the challenge isn’t as easy as it sounds as the cookies need to be stacked on the rim of a glass of milk. Bowser can only be defeated when all the Oreos fall into the glass.
