What’s the best thing to eat while playing Nintendo? Candy, of course. If you can’t play Nintendo though, you may as well be eating Nintendo candy. We decided to compile a comprehensive list of all the Nintendo-themed candy we could find and present them to you. Enjoy!
Levea a comment if you know of any we missed!

They have hard candies that come in containers shaped like Mario or Donkey Kong riding the go-karts from Mario Kart.
RESPONSE: Good catch - I just added them.

And, I don’t know if this counts, there used to be a Bubble Tape contest that used Mario on the wrapping…But, ya know, it wasn’t Nintendo candy….Anyway, hope this helps!
RESPONSE: I just added them - thanks!

The Yo-Yo Candy has 2 kinds of bubble gum in it, one on the DK side, and one on the Mario Side. It is like bubble tape but crap and the yo yo doesn’t work. A screw off plate on each side comes off (a little larger than the sticker)

August 24th, 2006 at 1:36 pmI found some Italian Super Mario candy a few years ago in a Finnish cheap-o-market.
Fruit toffees: http://koti.mbnet.fi/dronir/candy.jpg

The toffee flavours were strawberry, lemon and banana, IIRC.

June 23rd, 2007 at 4:23 amYou forgot Pokemon candy! At my local petrol station they sell these pokeball type things that have pokemon figures in them with some candy!

September 20th, 2007 at 2:01 pmHey. Thanks for putting up that list of candys. It answered pretty much all my questions. I currently have the 3D gummy candies with the game tips on display in my nintendo collection. I have also tried the Mario and donkey kong “push-pop” candies. Anyway Thanks.
October 27th, 2007 at 9:46 pmI’ve found the mario egg at a Japanese super store before
basically it’s a chocolate egg shell with a mario character toy inside.
Also, there are lots of other Japanese figurines that come with these little candy packages, but if you counted those then your list would be a LOT longer xP
December 16th, 2007 at 12:35 pmThere was pokemon lolypops. The had a lolly over a plastic pokemon which on top of a stick that said pokemon. Great list though.
December 16th, 2007 at 12:48 pmI found the mushroom candies and the Wii gum at a Family Video store in Michigan, the U.S.
April 20th, 2008 at 3:45 pmI bought the nintendo cherry sour mushroom candy yesterday. For one it took me until today to get it open and 2 it tastes kinda like ladybugs smell. It also leaves a gross after taste in my mouth.I must say though the mushroom is awesome. would be great to hide stuff in because no one will ever get it open,they will give up first.
May 4th, 2008 at 1:18 pmWell, we bought our boys some of the Nintendo Mushroom Sour candy in the cute shroom packaging. AND man oh man, those containers aren’t easy to open!! But for those who might be googling to find out how to open this product from BostonAmerica.com… you need to hold the mushroom head(cap) firmly as well as the stalk and pull straight apart. A slight rocking and twist would help… and even a slight pinch of the stalk near where it meets the head. By the way, candy is in there loose, so it will go flying everywhere if you don’t pull apart smoothly… just ask my oldest son who gave me the ’stinkeye’ when I scattered his sours. Hope this helps someone.
June 11th, 2008 at 11:02 pmOh good lord, those Nintendo Mushroom candies are hard to open! Thanks so much, Chris, or I’d have never been able to open mine… :< They’re not really that good, unfortunately. They smell and taste kind of like chapstick for some weird reason, and they’re not sour even a little… They are cute, though~
July 1st, 2008 at 10:48 pmwow, this mushrooms need a manual! it’s harder to open them than play the actual videogame.
give me a break

July 23rd, 2008 at 8:44 pmI just bought the little nintendo mushroom candy sour apple and the entire ride home i had my girl trying to open it. These little f*ckers are almost impossible to open BUT with simple flat head screw driver to the back of the canister (where the stalk meets the silver aluminum ring) you can easily open it again and again. ENJOY. candy sucks, but that little canister can hold other fine goods
July 26th, 2008 at 9:36 pmThe screwdriver method definetely works, Thanx izzy!!
July 28th, 2008 at 6:34 pmPulling straight apart was a very helpful tip! It’s on an angle so it comes out straight from the stem - not the cap. Hooray for Googling!
August 5th, 2008 at 9:58 pmOk to open the nintendo mushroom head thing, stick it in the freezer and then try after 5 mins in the freezer, comes apart ALOT easier… comes apart from stem . thanks alot nintendo, this is the thanks we get for loyalty… lol jk
