8. Cold Stone Creamery X Nintendo ice cream

Each have a specific flavor that coincide with the game featured, and there is also a bonus ice cream cake that is themed after Mario Kart. To grab these delicious treats, simply check out your local Cold Stone Creamery.
7. Oreo X Pokemon cookies
Many people may have heard about this crossover, as there was a slight panic when it came out. These packs were flying off the shelf to find the rarest Pokemon in the Oreo collaboration: Mew. All the packs have randomized Pokemon on the cookies and the Mew Oreo was fetching high prices when it first released. Now, the craze has blown over a bit, but it’s still cool to eat Oreos featuring some of the greatest Pokemon in the series. Get them here.
6. Converse X Pokemon sneakers
What’s more iconic than Pokemon collaborating with some of the most recognizable shoes of all time? This collaboration spanned several different apparel items – but none were more amazing than the Pokemon prints on the Chuck Taylor All Stars. These prints featured Pikachu, Mewtwo, Charizard, and Eevvee, and they each had their Pokedex entry printed on them alongside exclusive color combos and patches. These can still be found through various sneaker retail stores, and searching for them at your local shoe retailer may turn up a result.
5. Levis X Super Mario Bros. apparel
If you clicked on this article to score some sweet Nintendo drip, look no further. Nintendo and Levi’s teamed up for Super Mario’s 35th anniversary and the results are amazing. This collection has everything from sweatshirts to jean jackets, and, of course, some awesome Mario jeans (blue jeans and patterned). There are also overalls, fanny packs, shirts, and really anything else you could need for your wardrobe. Quantities are limited, but there has been some success finding this collaboration at local Levis stores, and stock can be checked here.
4. Build-A-Bear Workshop X Nintendo stuffed animals
Stuffed animal lovers are in for a treat with this collaboration that Build-A-Bear created with Nintendo. This collection ranges from accessories for animals, to actual Nintendo characters recreated as stuffed animals. There are characters from Animal Crossing and Super Mario that can be purchased here.
3. Kellogg’s X Super Mario and General Mills X Pokemon cereal
The Nintendo collaboration with Kellogg’s has a similar story to the Pokemon Oreos. When Super Mario Odyssey released, Kellogg’s stocked shelves with this exclusive cereal that featured Mario icons as marshmallows and an amiibo chip in the box. It sold like wildfire, and it was extremely hard to find. It’s a bit easier to find now, but what’s even easier to purchase is the Pokemon cereal collaboration with General Mills. Called “Berry Bolts,” this cereal also has shaped marshmallows and puffs that are fruity. They can be purchased from any major food retailer.
2. Puma X Mario and Animal Crossing apparel
If you need some shoes to go with your sweet Nintendo Levi’s clothing, then this collection has you covered. Nintendo worked with Puma on exclusive shoes for Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary, and then did the same with Animal Crossing: New Horizons last year. The Super Mario collection has just shoes, but the Animal Crossing variant contains all kinds of clothing items, including shirts, shoes, pants, and sweatshirts. Many of these items (including the Animal Crossing shoes) can be found at shoe retailers online still.
1. Lego X Nintendo Lego sets
This is a collaboration that makes so much sense that it seems like it should have been created long ago. LEGO and Nintendo are two household brands, and Mario perfectly comes alive in these sets that LEGO released. They even feature an upgrade to the typical Lego set as the Super Mario characters electronic, and they can even play levels on the creations. The NES system came out in addition to these electronic playsets, and it features a more typical LEGO experience. Either way, all of these sets showcase an amazing collaboration between two huge brands, and they can be purchased from the LEGO Store here.
