Everyone wants to eat Kirby. He looks delicious. And now, you sort of can, alongside Mario and Animal Crossing, because Nintendo and US ice cream chain Cold Stone Creamery have teamed up to decide, once and for all, what Kirby actually tastes like.
Here are the three new ice cream flavours:
🍨 The Mighty Pink Puff is a Kirby inspired Creation that has Strawberry Ice Cream, Strawberries, Mini Marshmallows & Caramel🍓
⠀⠀⠀
⭐Superstar Sprinkle Blast is inspired by the Mario Party Superstars game. This Creation has Cake Batter Ice Cream, Yellow Cake, Blue Frosting & Rainbow Sprinkles🌈🎂
⠀⠀⠀
🏝️ Island Getaway, our Animal Crossing: New Horizons Creation, has Chocolate Ice Cream, Strawberries, Banana & Whipped Topping 🍫🍌🍓
Okay, so Kirby tastes like strawberries, that tracks. Mario and pals taste like... cake. Sure! Peach is constantly going on about cake. And Animal Crossing tastes like... a banana split? Eh, that one's less strong.
There's also a Mario Kart-themed ice cream cake called Rainbow Sprinkle Road, which is very cute, and a chance for people to win a Nintendo Switch OLED, one of the three games represented in the ice cream flavours, or a $25 Cold Stone Creamery gift card.
Which one of the three sounds tastiest to you? We're still thinking the Kirby one sounds best. Let us know in the comments!

I think Animal Crossing should have been Smores related. It needs to capture that cozy campfire feeling and I think that would do it
My Cold Stone isn't offering any of these and it isnt a franchise one so its a corporate Cold Stones location
Yawn, wake me up when they do a collab with Stone Cold Steve Austin instead
I've always wanted to eat Kirby to see how he likes it.
The Mario one is GORGEOUS!
Rainbow Road cake looks quite delightful.
You mean a crossover I might be able to take part in? Let’s go.
All the crossovers between Nintendo and other companies... that's how you can tell the Switch is a success. We haven't seen crossovers like this since the NES/SNES days.
Poor workers, but I can't deny I want it 😫 😩 😭 😢
Now you and your waddle dee friends can get revenge on Kirby and see what he tastes like for a change!
Cold Stone? Don't you mean STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!
Joking aside, while I've never heard of the brand before myself, those treats look extremely tasty (and surprisingly thematic to the games they represent) so I'd love to try one someday.
❗️Bring it to 🏴 please!
I've lost about 30 lbs, so I feel like I can reward myself with the Kirby flavor.
@BlueGBAMicro Only if they bring it to 🏴🏴 as well
I've often wondered what Kirby would taste like. And yeah, strawberry marshmallow sounds about right. Good choice, cold stone.
If only I wasn't lactose intolerant...
This reminds me of the time when Nintendo of Canada partnered with a frozen yogurt place to provide Splatoon-themed flavours back when the game first launched in 2015.
I seriously thought this is the wrestler..
I live in a remote ghost town, so I imagine the closest place to get one of these is at LEAST 2 hours away. And I don't exactly travel very much. If someone has like a built-in freezer in their car and wants to bring be the birthday cake one, that'd be great. I can't afford to pay you, but they say random acts of kindness are one of the keys to happiness. So I can pay you in endorphins.
Great now I fancy some ice cream
Mario ice cream is my pick. Manly 😅
The Animal Crossing one sounds the best by far.
Isn’t the Mario party ice cream the same one from when they were celebrating Mario’s 35th anniversary

Yes, sugar.. give me all the sugar
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this brand, Cold Stone isn’t just an ice cream, it’s a decadent desert that’s super dense and creamy. It’s so heavy that if you’re getting a small, you’re satisfied.
Also—They mix in ingredients on a cold stone.
It is awesome and anyone that thinks otherwise can go….
…
…
to some other place and get ice cream.
@Not_Soos if I had a Cold Stone nearby I would be very tempted by your offer. Could use some of those good feels.
@KateGray Merci beaucoup! Articles like these are great!
@Fizza I misread the headline as exactly this, lol.
@TheBigK It'll be the first ice cream to require a photo ID to see if you are old enough to enjoy it's buzz.
Sounds tasty. Makes me wish we still had a cold stone.
@Jacoby I don't know what a Cold Stone is, but I appreciate the thought
Feed me : O
Kirby flavour is the best flavour. Just gotta squeeze.
I’m willing to bet that these will be sugary as hell and loaded with additives. I’ll pass, although they do look pretty.
This seems cool!
It's just too bad that Cold Stone left Canada back in the early 2010s because I'd for sure zip on down to a Cold Stone to get that Animal Crossing one...
Island getaway looks good but would hit me like a ton of bricks.
@agrazioli I am too. Have you tried Lactaid? Comes in a blue box. It's such a lifesaver. And for Cold Stone's ice cream? Totally worth it too
@nessisonett Yes, eventually.
Wow. I want to go out and get one!
@Fizza Their a ice cream business not really a brand per'se
Apparently my cold stone isnt doing this nor is any cold stone in like 4 other states nearby :/
I wish the UK would get cool stuff like this
@LP09 Cold Stone is very good, but also very 💰
Happy 35th anniversary, Link.
i love kirby, mario - wait where's link??? O n O
Update—the Kirby ice cream sucked. Big disappointment.
