With Super Mario Cereal, Nintendo and Kellogg\u2019s have teamed up to take fans on a breakfast odyssey that will continue long after the cereal box is empty. In addition to collectible Super Mario Odyssey box art, each Super Mario Cereal box functions as an amiibo\u2122 accessory, making breakfast a more playful experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis powered-up partnership with Kellogg\u2019s is another exciting way for us to expand the Nintendo brand in unique and creative ways,\u201d said Tom Prata, Nintendo of America\u2019s Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to pack so much fun into one box of cereal,\u201d said Brad Schwan, Senior Director of Morning Foods Marketing. \u201cThe package adds value and excitement for fans, with marshmallow shapes in the cereal inspired by Super Mario power-ups to tie the theme together.\u201d<\/p>\n
No word yet if the cereal will br available in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
