Nintendo release breakfast cereal with amiibo functionality

Nintendo and Kelloggs have teamed up to take fans on a breakfast odyssey that will continue long after the cereal box is empty. In addition to collectable Super Mario Odyssey box art, each Super Mario Cereal box functions as an amiibo accessory, making breakfast a more playful experience.​

“This powered-up partnership with Kellogg’s is another exciting way for us to expand the Nintendo brand in unique and creative ways,” said Tom Prata, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. “We are always looking for new opportunities to bring smiles to people of all ages, and this is a fun way to kick off the day.”

The limited-edition cereal box will begin hitting store shelves across the U.S. as early as Dec. 11. Those playing the Super Mario Odyssey game can tap the cereal box on the Nintendo Switch system, like you would an amiibo, to receive gold coins or a heart in the game. Even the cereal itself has a Super Mario twist, with colorful power-up marshmallows and a blast of mixed berry flavor in every box.

“We are thrilled to pack so much fun into one box of cereal,” said Brad Schwan, Senior Director of Morning Foods Marketing. “The package adds value and excitement for fans, with marshmallow shapes in the cereal inspired by Super Mario power-ups to tie the theme together.”

I'm guessing there's an NFC tag stuck in the backside of the box. At least, that's what GameXplain said, though this info could be fake, since it came from a random Reddit user.

Nothing like getting diabetes while using an amiibo that will over saturate the market!

erm... i dont get it, is that supposed to be linked to what you quoted?
If you don't get the reference you won't find it funny

There's an episode of Spongebob where Squidward yells at Spongebob for being "strange," so Spongebob watches a self-help movie on how to become more "normal" in the workplace. After doing that, he brings a cubical into work and starts printing out Krabby Patties rather than cooking them
