Club Nintendo is Nintendo’s big fan club/rewards program, giving dedicated gamers copious swag in return for video game registrations and surveys. The majority of said swag is in my apartment, and as part of the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., we’re going to take a look at it. Many of these items can be obtained through Club Nintendo if you rack up enough coins, but two of them are special “Elite Status” awards given out every year when you reach a high enough coin level. Take a tour through the Mario museum after the break.

Mario Statue/Figurine

This impressive little statue was Club Nintendo’s Platinum Elite reward for 2010. It’s the entire Mario gang, including a goomba and Bowser himself, posing. Bowser is supposed to look menacing, but it seems more like he’s trying to make a Kung Fu stance while posing for a picture. It’s an impressively detailed figurine, made of plastic, but with soft rubber parts on the more protruding bits, like Bowser’s spikes.

Mario’s Hat

We already covered this one a few months ago, but it’s still a great piece of Mario memorabilia to look at. This was the Platinum Elite reward for 2009, and it’s a fantastic cross between a hat and a pillow. It’s very plush, but you can still wear it on your head. Unlike the Mario baseball caps and cheap foam Mario hats you can pick up at costume stores, it retains the unique, lumpy shape of Mario’s signature hat.

Mario Sensu Fan

This incredibly Japanese Club Nintendo item (though not the most Japanese item; we’ll go over that one below) is Mario and various Mario-related imagery drawn on a gorgeous bamboo-and-paper fan. It’s fragile, and you have to be very careful when folding and unfolding it, but the details are exquisite; the art on the fan itself looks great, and the thin bamboo tines keeping it spread have intricate holes cut into them. It’s one of four fans available from Club Nintendo for 300 coins. The others are a blue fan with Bloopers and two Animal Crossing-themed fans.

Mario Hanafuda Cards

Nintendo got its start over a century ago making Japanese playing cards known as Hanafuda cards. They’re smaller and thicker than Western playing cards, and instead of having numbers or other symbols on them, differentiate each other with different flowers and other pieces of art. This set, available for 800 coins from Club Nintendo, goes back to the company’s roots with a Mario twist. The artwork is very traditional, but shows Mario-themed images along with the colorful flowers and rolling hills depicted in the set. Actually playing games with the cards, however, can be pretty tricky without any identifying symbols on them besides the artwork itself.

Mario Hat DS Game Rack

It’s a plastic rack for holding DS games. The sides are shaped like Mario’s hat, and the sliding divider can securely hold up between one and eight game cases. Simple, but probably the most useful item in the collection. You can get it for 600 coins.

Game & Watch Collections For Nintendo DS

This is another blast from Nintendo’s pre-NES past, though it doesn’t go back nearly as far as the Hanafuda cards. Before Nintendo released its groundbreaking home video game console, it made portable LCD games under the Game & Watch brand. Each collection for the DS, available for 800 coins, contains remakes or remixes of three Game & Watch games. The first collection includes Oil Panic, Donkey Kong, and Greenhouse, while the second collection includes Parachute, Octopus, and Octopus x Parachute. They’re not very deep games, and compared to later Nintendo titles not the most fun, but they’re a great look into Nintendo’s history.
