Nintendo’s iconic Super Mario Bros. franchise celebrates its 35th anniversary in September, and it looks like LEGO will be the life of the party thanks to its Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo Entertainment System sets. However, Hasbro does have the board games covered in Monopoly Super Mario Celebration Edition and a Super Mario-themed version of Jenga.
Monopoly’s Super Mario Celebration edition is all about buying, selling, and swapping locations for iconic Super Mario games that span from 1985 to the present day (Toad houses and Princess Peach castles replace houses and hotels). Like many of the new Monopoly special edition games, it will also feature an electronic component in the form of a question block with sound effects “that can change a player’s luck” (as you will see in the gallery below, it appears in the box but not in the other first promotional images).
As for the Jenga: Super Mario Edition game, players will climb the tower as Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad to defeat Bowser at the top. Each character has a corresponding card that players can refer to throughout the game. Players earn points by collecting coins while stacking, stealing, and climbing. If the tower falls on a player’s turn, he will lose coins and his chance to be the hero. From the official description:
“Spin the roulette wheel to discover the next move: how many layers to climb, how many blocks to remove and stack, whether to collect coins, or whether the game will change direction. It is a battle to the top as players move their own pegs up and their pegs. opponents down, all while trying not to make the tower crash. “
Monopoly Super Mario Bros Celebration Edition will launch on August 1 for $ 29.99. Pre-orders are not available at the time of writing, but should be available here on Amazon soon. Jenga Super Mario is released on the same date. Again, when preorders are released, you should be able to find them here on Amazon.
