Ever since Levi’s teased a crossover collection withSuper Marioearlier this month, the hype has only been building. Today gamers got their first look at the collection, and it looks like that hype has not been misplaced.
The first images of the collection were posted to Twitter today by the official Levi’s account. For fans who are interested in more subtle Mario references, the collection features overalls with coins spilling out of the back pocket. For those who want to really go all out there, there are jeans, shorts, and shirts that are completely plastered with iconicSuper Mariocharacters. This will be the perfect outfit for the fans whodesperately want a Mario Movie.

The first images of the collaboration were released in honor of Marioday, which falls on March 10th or MAR10 every year. While it’s yet to be recognized as a federal holiday, March 10th is a day for celebrating all things related to the iconic video game character, who has appeared in over 200 games. And some brands are paying attention,Target has some huge discounts on Mario gamesfor fans who want to get into the holiday spirit.
The collaboration will be officially dropping April 1st. This being April Fools Day may make it seem like an elaborate prank, but the clothing should be available soon. Plus, it would be quite a lot of effort for a very silly pay off, and considering the fan reaction, not releasing the line at this point would be leaving money on the table. Not to mention, video game companies have a less than stellar record with pranks, withMicrosoft going so far as to ban April Fools day pranksall together, so it’s unlikely that Nintendo would risk it.
This is not the onlySuper Mariocollaboration that’s been announced today. Many fans are excited about theSuper MarioLEGO sets that are coming out. Mario Players are getting excited about the future, dreaming of a day when they can build someSuper MarioLegos while dressed head to toe in some freshSuper Mariogear.
