The Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary wave 2 collectible pin set is now available through Nintendo’s website. You can claim it here. Technically this went up just under two hours ago, but we held off on posting this until the technical kinks of the site were worked out due to an overload of traffic – which seem to have been ironed out.

As detailed last month, you’ll need to have purchased Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and have 14 missions completed on the official website. Note that codes for the pins may not last long – they went very quickly for the wave 1 pin set.

The second pins are based on the following games:

Most Mario games only have you playing as Mario himself, but Super Mario 3D World is a bit different. Other characters from the Mushroom Kingdom can be used and even have their own abilities and gimmicks.

Toad is fully playable in Super Mario 3D World, but Toadette is not. However, based on a bit of datamining, it seems that Nintendo at least toyed around with the idea.

Switch couldn’t be doing much better at the moment. With the device just about to hit its fourth anniversary, it recently outsold the 3DS and is now Nintendo’s fifth best-selling platform of all time. Total sales are at about 80 million units worldwide, and there are no signs of things slowing down anytime soon.

Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who played a big role in getting Switch off the ground, isn’t surprised by the console’s big success up to this point. In a Gamertag Radio interview, he mentioned how he believed “it was going to be magical” after seeing a prototype version many years ago, and also noted how the ability to take the gaming experience everywhere addresses a player complaint.

Additionally, Reggie said that Switch’s performance made his retirement decision easier since he knew Nintendo “was going to be in great shape for at least a few years.”

Reggie’s full words:
