Super Mario Cereal now starting to be sold without the amiibo functionality

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

When the Super Mario Cereal originally hit stores, it came with amiibo functionality. The box could be used similar to other amiibo in titles like Super Mario Odyssey.
