As expected, the cover art showcases all three games in a collage, with the blurb on the back citing why each of the trio became iconic in its own right. It also reveals that players will get to listen to “175 total tracks,” confirming that the music mode will be a comprehensive collection of some of the series most memorable soundtracks. Inside the case is simply the cartridge and some images from each of the games on the reverse cover. The unboxing does seem to highlight how little effort has been put into this 35th-anniversary’s presentation, withSuper Mario 3D All-Starsnot including any fun collectibles or additions despite being priced at $60.
The Puma shoes are a little more exciting, with the box sporting some retro branding focused aroundSuper Mario 64.Pictures from the character’s history line the top, ranging fromSuper Mario Bros. 3toSuper Mario Odyssey,while an image of Mario with his wing cap power-up fromSuper Mario 64is placed in the corner. The bottom also features a timeline of his adventures as well, which is undeniably a neat little touch. The shoes themselves are bright red and blue, with a power star on the heel and aSuper Mariologo on the tongue.
Overall, the unboxing gives a good glimpse of theSuper Mario35th-anniversarycontent coming very soon, although, it does seem to hint that fans opting for a physical copy of the3D All-StarsCollectionwon’t be getting anything to sweeten the deal.
