Europe, your maniacal grip on 3D Classics: Kid Icarus and those Mario 3DS consoles is loosening.

Nintendo of Australia just opened up its very own It's a Me, Mario competition with near-identical rules to Europe's: register two 3DS games with Club Nintendo and you get a free code for Kid Icarus, with entrants over the age of ten also able to enter to win a Mario, Peach or Toad-themed 3DS console.

One interesting difference is that while Europe has 3,000 consoles up for grabs, Australia has just 150. Still, better than nothing, eh?
