Nintendo and the Super Mario franchise are enjoying a great deal of success this year, with its record-setting movie and a new 2D game set for release this year. Now, we have an unexpected collaboration with OREO teaming up with Nintendo to release limited-edition cookies inspired by the world of Super Mario.
The limited-edition OREO x Super Mario cookies feature 16 unique embossments that range from iconic characters to power-ups and even enemies, like Goomba and Bowser Jr. Each pack is filled with random designs, but one is noticeably missing: Princess Peach. As part of the promotion, OREO is creating a social challenge to stop Bowser from taking over the castle in Princess Peach’s absence. Fans can participate by doing the following: On the rim of a glass of milk, stack as many hero-embossed cookies as possible atop a Bowser cookie until he is defeated (a.k.a. the cookies fall into the milk.) Share a video of the delicious defeat on social!
OREO teased that it may reveal a surprise as a thank you to those who successfully defeat Bowser and save the kingdom, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Starting Monday, July 10, the limited-edition Super Mario OREOs will be available at retailers nationwide in the U.S. To participate in the social challenge, use the hashtag #SuperMarioOREO.
“OREO is always looking to bring new offerings to our fans and we are thrilled to unveil this super partnership with the iconic Super Mario franchise,” said Vishnu Nair, Senior Brand Manager at OREO. “There are so many playful synergies between OREO and Super Mario, it was a no-brainer for us to team up to connect fans of all ages through this delightfully playful cookie collaboration.”
