Nintendo and Illumination Partner with Krispy Kreme Japan for Super Mario Galaxy Movie Donut Collection

Nintendo and Illumination have once again united to celebrate Mario’s legacy, this time through a unique collaboration with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Japan to honor the highly anticipated launch of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. This limited-time promotional campaign brings a specially crafted line of donuts inspired by some of the beloved characters from the Mario universe, as well as exclusive merchandise and unique store experiences. **Super Mario Galaxy Movie-Inspired Donuts Arrive at Krispy Kreme Japan** Launching on April 8, 2026, Krispy Kreme’s selection spotlights three meticulously decorated donuts, each capturing the essence of the movie’s main characters and galactic adventure: - The “Mario Strawberry” donut features a strawberry icing finish, vibrant red and blue sprinkles, yellow star-shaped candies, and is topped off with an iconic Mario hat pick. It’s available at 388 yen for takeout and 396 yen for eat-in customers. - The “Yoshi Custard Egg” donut is filled with rich Hokkaido milk custard, coated in smooth white chocolate, and accented with green chocolate pieces reminiscent of Yoshi’s egg. It is priced at 410 yen for takeout and 418 yen to enjoy in store. - The “Luma & Blueberry Galaxy” donut combines a glossy white chocolate shell with a blueberry glaze, complemented by shimmering silver sprinkles and strokes of pink and yellow icing to evoke a celestial look, available at identical pricing to the Yoshi donut. For fans wishing to experience the entire collection, the “Galaxy Box” (1,177 yen takeout, 1,199 yen eat-in) includes one of each themed donut. The “Galaxy Half Dozen” set (1,825 yen takeout, 1,859 yen eat-in) features the trio along with two Original Glazed donuts and a Double Chocolate Crunch. In addition, customers who purchase the Galaxy Half Dozen at a Krispy Kreme location will receive one of three exclusive collectible stickers, each showcasing Mario, Yoshi, or Rosalina while supplies last. **Additional Goods and In-Store Activations** The collaboration also introduces the “Question Block Doughnut Box” (540 yen takeout, 550 yen eat-in), featuring a custard-filled ring donut in a special box formed after the well-known Mario yellow block, bundled with one of five collectible picks inspired by classic items like the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Red Shell. A specially produced Super Mario Galaxy Movie eco bag, priced at 1,980 yen, will be available in extremely limited quantities—only 4,000 units are expected to be sold. Meanwhile, the Krispy Kreme branch at Tokyo’s Shibuya Cinema Tower will be transformed with Mario-themed decorations and characters such as Yoshi, Princess Peach, Toad, Bowser Jr., and more, as well as a large donut statue perfect for photo opportunities. All campaign items will be available from April 8 through May 26, or until stocks run out. **Movie Release Dates and Ongoing Mario Promotions** The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is scheduled to premiere in U.S. theaters on April 3, 2026, with a Japanese release following on April 24, 2026. Nintendo and Illumination’s latest cinematic endeavor marks another milestone in the Mario franchise’s broad multimedia expansion, supported by innovative merchandising and cross-industry promotions. This collaboration continues Nintendo’s tradition of immersive fan experiences, following a number of Mario-themed events and product launches. Fans and collectors alike are encouraged to visit Krispy Kreme stores across Japan to enjoy these treats and exclusive items while they are available.
