\"Mario<\/figure>\n
\n

The Super Mario<\/em> franchise is turning 35 years old this year, and while there have been rumors that Nintendo will remaster a number of classic Mario<\/em> games for the Switch, this anniversary serves up the opportunity for plenty of Super Mario<\/em>-themed toys and products. LEGO already got the ball moving with its Super Mario<\/em> and NES sets, which will all be out next month, and now Hasbro has revealed two new Super Mario<\/em> board games.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first is Jenga: Super Mario Edition, which offers an interesting spin on the regular Jenga formula. Instead of simply removing blocks from the tower, Jenga: Super Mario Edition has players racing up the tower with the goal of reaching and defeating Bowser. Each turn, players spin a spinner that tells them what to do, whether that’s climbing a certain number of layers, removing blocks from the tower and stacking them on top, collecting coins, or reversing the direction of the game.<\/p>\n

Jenga: Super Mario Edition actually looks a lot like Fortnite Jenga<\/a>, which was released last year. It seems that Jenga has found something of a new format when it comes to crossover games with other properties, so perhaps we’ll see more of it in the future.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

In addition to Jenga: Super Mario, Hasbro also announced Monopoly Super Mario Celebration Edition today. Like most special edition Monopoly games, the Super Mario Celebration Edition swaps out the standard token for Mario<\/em>-themed ones and the properties for locations from the Super Mario<\/em> franchise – in this case, the properties will date all the way back to 1985. The game also features an electronic Question Block that “can change a player’s luck,” but a more in-depth description of what it does wasn’t available.<\/p>\n

A listing for Monopoly Super Mario Celebration Edition is already live on Amazon, but it isn’t up for pre-order just yet – Hasbro says it will launch on August 1st with a retail price of $29.99<\/a>. Interestingly, Jenga: Super Mario Edition has the same August 1st launch date, but it’s already up for purchase on Amazon for $19.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
