Remember the days when video game mascots were on cereal boxes? Well, this December is going to feel like a blast from the past, because Super Mario Cereal is 100% a real thing co🔯ming to your local grocery store. Nintendo ann🍰ounced its team-up with Kellogg's earlier today, calling it a "fun way to kick off the day" in a press release.

Super Mario Cereal won't be a permanent addition to the cereal aisle, mind you - these bo🌳xes are considered to be limited edition. Nintendo didn't specify how long they'll be around, but did note that you can start finding them beginning December🍨 11.

Aside from the inherent value to collectors, each box also acts as an amiibo accessory. Tap the cereal box to your Nintendo Switch and you can earn coins or a heart in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Mario Odyssey. Note: the amiibo is part of the box itself, and is not a figurine like you'd find in a store. Super Mario Cereal may bring back memories of the good old days when boxes of cereal contained full-fledged toys, but that's not the case here. It's also not clear what's to stop people from just tapping cereal💦 boxes to their consoles but not buying the sugary grains.

Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time Nintendo has made a bid for your breakfast table. From 1986 to 1989, it part𒁃nered with Ralston Cereals to produce Nintendo Cereal System - boxes of which now sell for upward of $100 if they're in good condition. So maybe hold onto these for a couple... er, decades, and who knows🍌!

Oh, and try not 🐼to be too weirded out if you see Switch owners roaming your grocery stores this D☂ecember, pressing their systems to cereal boxes.
