This year marks 38 years since the release of " Super Mario Brothers " on September 13, 1985. Mario-related titles have always ranked high in the " NES National Poll," a special 40th anniversary project for the NES, and the movie " The Super Mario Bros. Movie " was a worldwide hit. With the release of " Super Mario Bros. Wonder, " the latest in the series, scheduled for October 20, 2023 (Friday), Mario is always present in the world of entertainment. The Mario series is full of fascinating characters, which is why it has been collaborating with various products, most recently with " B-R Thirty-One Ice Cream " starting Friday, September 1, 2023. This past weekend, the local Thirty-One was crowded. Eating sweet ice cream at Thirty-One makes you want to eat something salty, and this collaboration with a product that fits the bill perfectly! Because it's Mario! YBC, Yamazaki Biscuit 's " Chipster " now comes in a Super Mario design!
Collaboration design based on the "Star" connection
Chipster" was born in 1976 as Japan's first molded potato chips, and has been and will continue to be loved as the nation's favorite potato chip. They are a popular product of Yamazaki Biscuit that continues to be loved by the Japanese people to this day and beyond. The unique texture of the molded potato chips, the many different flavors, and the two sizes available ( S size, which is easy to eat, andL size, which can be shared by everyone ) make these chips a favorite among men and women of all ages. Among the various power-up items that appear in Mario, the " Super Star " is one of the most iconic items in the Mario series. The "Chipster," the "star" of the potato chip world, and Mario have something unexpected in common, and I think that's what made this collaboration possible. The phrase in the commercial, " A star has the power to make everyone smile," is also a common thread between the "Chipster" and Mario. In this collaboration, each Chipstar product will have a special design featuring Mario and his friends on the package. The colors of the original packaging and the symbolic colors of the characters are exquisitely matched to create a total of 12 different designs, making it easy to collect them all!
Light-Shio S size/L size : Mario/Hime Peach
