Gold Edition Super Mario amiibo launching exclusively at Walmart

amiibo collectors and Super Mario fans should start planning out a trip to Walmart on March 20th.  Nintendo today has announced that their sparkly Super Mario amiibo – Gold Edition will be sold exclusively at the retailer for $12.96, just in time for the launch of Mario Party 10 Wii U.

Check out the announcement below.

Mario has always been golden in the minds of his fans. On March 20, Nintendo will launch the Super Mario amiibo?Gold Edition, a shiny gold-colored Mario figure that arrives on the same day as the Mario Party 10 game for the Wii U console. The Super Mario amiibo?Gold Edition will be sold exclusively at 3,000 Walmart stores in the U.S. at launch at a retail price of $12.96.

Nintendo?s amiibo are interactive toys that come to life in compatible games in different ways. This new golden figure represents the third Mario amiibo. The other two Mario amiibo are:

  • The original ?fireball? Mario from the Super Smash Bros. series.
  • A new ?wave? Mario from the Super Mario series available on March 20, for a limited time bundled only with Mario Party 10.

The new gold-colored Mario amiibo is compatible with multiple games that support amiibo. For example, Mario Party 10 features a new amiibo Party mode that players can only access by tapping their compatible amiibo figures on the Wii U GamePad controller to customize them and bring them into the game as board pieces. Players can also save items to their amiibo, then use them strategically. Or players can train their amiibo to supercharge its stats and expand its abilities in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U or Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. The full list of compatible games and amiibo can be found at http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/compatibility.
