Super Mario Merchandise – Greetings from the Mushroom Kingdom
Hardly any character has shaped the video game medium like the mustachioed guy in the red cap. Created by Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario debuted in 1981 in the arcade classic Donkey Kong, before "Super Mario Bros." defined the modern platformer on the NES in 1985. Four decades later, the series ranks among the most successful in gaming history, and in 2023 "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" filled cinemas worldwide. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Super Mario merchandise: figures, plush, apparel, and home accessories for anyone who reflexively jumps up at the sight of a question-mark block. Whether you've been in since the NES or just since the movie: there are no barriers to entry here.
What makes Super Mario stand out?
A visual language everyone can read: mushroom, star, green pipe, and question-mark block work as symbols without any explanation needed – ideal conditions for merchandise with instant recognition value. Add to that a cast that's long since launched careers of its own: Luigi as the timid brother, Princess Peach as ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser as the perpetual rival, Yoshi and Toad as loyal companions. And because Mario has tried out pretty much every profession over the years – race car driver, tennis pro, doctor, astronaut – the series delivers designs for every occasion. The soundtrack does its part too: the 1985 overworld melody ranks among the most recognizable video game compositions ever, and it's probably playing in your head right now as you browse.
