Nintendo continues to expand its iconic brand beyond video games through unique merchandising partnerships, and its latest collaboration with Campbell Soup Company brings a dash of Mushroom Kingdom magic to grocery store shelves.
The newly launched Super Mario Brothers Soup blends the classic flavors and nostalgia of Campbell’s condensed soups with the playful imagery of Nintendo’s legendary franchise, appealing to fans young and old.
Now available at national retailers and grocery stores, Campbell Soup's Super Mario Brothers Soup features eye-catching cans adorned with beloved characters Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi.
This release leverages Nintendo’s rich legacy, which stretches from its origins in 1985 with the original 'Super Mario Bros.' on the Nintendo Entertainment System to present-day success stories such as 'Super Mario Odyssey' on the Nintendo Switch.
Inside each can, consumers will find six exclusive pasta shapes inspired by the Super Mario universe.
The shapes include Mario himself, green shells, super mushrooms, goombas, iconic power-up blocks, and fire flowers, creating a playful connection between lunchtime and the Nintendo classics cherished across generations.
With its attention to detail, this collaboration highlights Nintendo’s careful stewardship of its intellectual property, while offering fans another accessible way to celebrate their favorite characters outside of digital adventures.

Their commitment to quality and to working with respected partners showcases both companies' reputation in their respective industries.
The Super Mario Brothers Soup joins a long lineup of licensed Nintendo products, reflecting the company’s innovative approach to brand engagement beyond the Nintendo Switch and its digital ecosystem.
This launch is also part of Campbell Soup’s ongoing commitment to offering both comforting favorites and novel limited-edition products that cater to fan communities.
