Amazon is shipping random products in Super Mario Bros. boxes to celebrate the video-game franchise's 35th anniversary.
The e-commerce giant is shipping the brightly-colored boxes throughout November in limited supply — and Nintendo said that "purchasing Nintendo products will not increase the possibility of receiving a Super Mario Bros. branded box."
An image released by Nintendo shows three designs highlighting different eras of the game.
Amazon has also launched a webpage charting the history of Super Mario Bros., from the original game in 1985 to pre-orders for "Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury," coming to Nintendo Switch in February.

Nintendo has celebrated the franchise's anniversary by releasing the "Super Mario 3D All-Stars" bundle for Switch, and an updated re-release of its original "Super Mario Bros." game, which up to 35 players can play at once.
In October, Amazon launched its first augmented-reality shipping boxes. Users scan a QR code on a box to bring up a customizable AR version of the object, which stays on your phone's camera as you move around.
