Earlier this week, Nintendo finally confirmed the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle for North America. We learned that it will come with the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo, which was thought to be exclusive to the newly-announced package. However, that may not actually be true.

Last night, a Walmart Canada employee shared a planogram, which shows the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo on the rack. This indicates that the figure will not be exclusive to the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle… though now there’s speculation going around that the amiibo will only be sold at Walmart.
