- 8 Bit Mario Soft Toy
- Mario “Breaking Bricks since 1985” T-Shirt (L)
- Mario Hat.
This special box costs £29.99, and will come out on October 9th. Unfortunately, the Nintendo UK Store only ships within the United Kingdom… If you do live in the UK, click here to place an order!
CRT Effect
Let’s end with a neat feature from Super Mario Maker: you can add a CRT effect to the screen. Now, you’re probably going to say “Yeah, I know, I need the 8-bit Mario amiibo for that, right?”, and you would be right… and wrong at the same time! It turns out the amiibo isn’t the only way to unlock this feature: you can activate it during the loading screen of a level, by keeping Down press on the d-pad, and pressing B and A at the same time.
