Nintendo of America brought news to its official Twitter page today in which they will be releasing their highly anticipated Super Mario Hot Wheels later this month to retail stores. In celebration of Mario's 30th Anniversary, these six iconic Mattel toy cars each sport a theme from popular Mario games and spin-offs with a vibrant colourful design painted on various types of vehicles.
Siliconera said:
Of the six Super Mario Hot Wheels, the Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World cars have a 30th Anniversary logo in the upper right corner of their packaging. The other two, based on Doctor Mario and Mario Kart, have the Nintendo Seal of Quality instead. Each car has Mario painted on it, and they will be sold separately.

While a price for these toy cars have yet to be released, Mattel's famous Hot Wheels typically start at a price of $2.99 US for an individual car.

I like that Nintendo is promoting its brand in different ways, but these cars have nothing to do with Mario.

I wish they had actually released a gokart, or an airship akin to the star wars hot wheels x-wing.

I like that the cars embrace the art styles of different games, instead of trying to use a homogenized "modern" Mario look.

Now put this shit in some cereal boxes as free toys.

Still waiting for movies and cartoons.

I don't know if I want to see another mario tv show and movie, the last one were so bad. They could be done well this time, but I'm scared they would be just as bad.

    So true
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Sorry didnt read that part
