The Super Mario animated movie starring Chris Pratt as Mario was delayed earlier this year until April 2023. When it does eventually release, it seems there'll be some merchandise.
A new listing on Amazon (as spotted by @necrolipe) seemingly reveals Mattel is releasing a "Super Mario Bros. movie" UNO set. There are no images of this set, but it's expected to arrive at some point in March 2023.
"Mattel and Nintendo partner to launch the SUPER MARIO BROS movie-themed UNO card game. in March 2023"
It's not the first time we've seen Super Mario merchandise, card games and board games like this. There's been Mario-themed Monopoly and even the Game of Life. Mattel has also previously released a series of Hot Wheels Mario-themed cars.
Apart from Chris Pratt as Mario, the upcoming Super Mario animated movie will also feature Charlie Day (Pacific Rim) as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit) as Princess Peach, Jack Black (School of Rock) as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key (Toy Story 4) as Toad and Seth Rogan (Pineapple Express) as Donkey Kong.

I believe it will be worth the wait. If Nintendo push something at a later date, it has to be a good reason to polish it more.
When looking at their games pushed back those same games always where a masterpiece.
Charlie Day, best known for his role in Pacific Rim.
shock and Wah-HOO
if they're gonna merchandise this thing they better do a reveal some time soon, stuff ALWAYS gets spoiled via toy leaks.
@Ripplefield the leaks are 100% happening soon.
Prat reavers Card!
Chris Pratt as new Ken Barbie doll confirmed.
Firstly, I expect Day’s version of Luigi’s voice to be the highlight of the movie. Secondly, I think Charlie Day will ever be known for one show and one show only https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472954/reference/ (they muck everything regardless of the political spectrum so it’s definitely not for everyone — perhaps the lack of any prize despite being a very popular satire show confirms it).
Ah yes, UNO, the supposedly family-friendly brand that produces utter filth like this:
@gcunit,
Please explain, or are you joking.
@johnvboy If you don't understand it I think it's better left way.
Utter filth.
@gcunit Best belongs in the bin. Or set alight.
@nessisonett I keep ours well out of the way of our children.
Under my pillow where they'll never find it.
@gcunit,
O.k.... thanks for the reply.
@The-Chosen-one Been saying for sometime now, that the Mario movie will coincide with the next Switch release, to build momentum off each other.
The timing for a Switch successor can be any time now. Switch was released spring 2017, the Mario movie was currently delayed till spring 2023...obviously this is just my hunch but I think it's plausible.
Also launching with Switch 2, will be Metroid Prime 4 and Breath of the Wild 2 (dual console release) and Mario in some form or another.
@johnvboy Try looking at the numbers.
@johnvboy I don't get it either
@jump Are you sure that is it? What were they supposed to do with the 6 card? "That" also happens in every common playing cards with 6's. Look at the 6 of clubs/diamonds/hearts/spades
@jump,
It was there all the time staring me right in the face, how could they print such a thing, poor Daisy.....
@Bobb,
69 was the joke....
@johnvboy I feel so stupid for falling for that
Good laughts, thank you
@abduz
Lol you are saying the exact thing i am thinking in my head lol.
I believe that too.
That zelda will be a dual release and the mario movie together with a new switch. They can even combine a commercial with the two.
And after the movie maybe a mario Game in line with the movies story.
Why is it called ONO?
I'm exited for the movie but still little upset that Chris isn't doing an Italian accent 😞
@gcunit Is that legit lol.
@Snatcher Yeh, totally legit. I have two packs of that set.
Uno is one of those examples of Family Card Games being known for hosting the worst kind of slumber parties. Just ask Strong Bad.
I was going to make a joke about how it shouldn't be UNO that Mario's playing since that's Spanish and he's Italian but leave it to Google Translate to show me that they're the same across languages. Well damn ._.
I just hope they dint do a movie tie in game. Those are always bad.
@Sonos Not always. I liked the 3 'Spider-Man' video games that were based on the Tobey Maguire movies and had Tobey doing the voice and Bruce Campbell as the guide and 'The Amazing Spider-Man' video game was fun along with 'The Simpsons (2007)' and 'Goldeneye' has a reputation for being a very popular game but I am not a fan of first person shooter games.
lol, my GF got me a pack of Zelda Uno a few years ago. (cool story, bro)
@gcunit That's the most ridiculous comment I've ever seen on this site, and I say that as a compliment.
@Toshiro_Baloney I would have thought he was better known for It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
That's so cool!!! /s
I'm still annoyed at how they implemented Uno (or their version of it and rules in Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics smh. It's basically just an automated sim where you have no choice in how or what to play and there's no rule customization to vary the matches. Also... Crazy 8's > Uno in general.
Sidenote: Speaking of Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, I secretly still hope it gets an unexpected free update (like Super Mario Party did) or DLC that adds more skill-based games, card games, board games, strategy games, game variations, customization options, robust online (i.e. monthly online leaderboards, ranked matches, stats, tracking, tournaments, gauntlet mode) etc. Maybe that kind of DLC could be a good candidate for an NSO Expansion Pak addition like they’ve done with a few other games, although admittedly I don’t think that the game is popular enough for it to move the needle for them in terms of increasing subscribers for that reason.
I really enjoy & love Clubhouse Games and think it could be expanded upon to be a great Switch hit & IP.
... Wun can only hope.
