Nintendo Unveils Jumbo Super Mario Galaxy Amiibo for 40th Anniversary Celebration

Nintendo is commemorating the 40th anniversary of the iconic Super Mario series with a major announcement, continuing a tradition of special releases that honor the beloved franchise.

Among the highlights, Nintendo is launching a special set of Super Mario Galaxy amiibo featuring Mario, Rosalina, and Lumas, with an official release date set for April 2.

These commemorative figures follow in the footsteps of past celebrations like the 30th anniversary, ensuring that amiibo collectors and Super Mario fans have something memorable to look forward to. Unlike standard amiibo released in the past, these newly announced Super Mario Galaxy amiibo stand out due to their larger size.

According to official images published by Nintendo of Japan, these figures are significantly larger than traditional amiibo, offering a substantial presence ideal for display.

The images reveal direct size comparisons, giving Nintendo fans a clear sense of the impressive scale of these anniversary editions. While Nintendo has not yet disclosed pricing details or confirmed the exact in-game functionality of these jumbo amiibo, the company’s decision to increase their size suggests a premium offering aimed at avid collectors and long-time supporters of the Super Mario series.

Traditionally, amiibo figures have provided unique in-game content, such as bonus costumes or exclusive items in compatible Nintendo Switch titles, and these new figures are expected to continue that legacy.

Further details are anticipated closer to launch. The Super Mario Galaxy amiibo launch underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to celebrating the cultural impact of the Super Mario franchise across generations.

Since its debut in 1985, Super Mario has achieved global recognition, selling over 380 million units across series titles as of 2023 and inspiring generations of players, developers, and collectors.

With these new amiibo, Nintendo not only pays tribute to classic characters like Mario and Rosalina but also delivers fresh collectibles that commemorate the series’ enduring legacy on the Nintendo Switch platform and beyond. Fans and collectors can look forward to the Super Mario Galaxy jumbo amiibo set arriving on April 2, available through official channels and select retailers.

As always, more details about pricing, availability, and amiibo functionality are expected from Nintendo as the release date draws near.
