Super Mario

Official Super Mario Stationery, Posters and Keyrings

The Super Mario range is built for desks and school bags rather than shelves. Stationery is the largest part — pencil cases, eraser sets, notebooks and multi-piece sets — followed by posters and a framed 3D picture, then PVC character keyrings, mugs and a tumbler. Junior watches, a backpack and button badge sets fill out the rest.

Which character should you buy for?

The keyrings are where this actually matters, because they are made per character: Mario, Yoshi, Toad, Bowser and Princess Peach. Children usually have a firm favourite and it is rarely Mario himself — Yoshi and Bowser move fastest. If you do not know, the character-montage posters and group stationery sets show everyone at once and avoid the question entirely.

Is this licensed by Nintendo?

Yes. The licence covers character colour and proportion, which is the thing to check on Mario goods — unofficial prints tend to drift on Yoshi's green and Bowser's shell, and the difference is obvious next to the real artwork.
