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!
Leave 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.

There’s Mario Yo-Yo Candy, and Nintendo (generic) mints:

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.

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

I am not saying my name
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!
August 18th, 2007 at 3:44 amThere’s also Nintendo (Mario) Mushrooms with sour candies inside…if only I coudl get mine open to get to the candies. But I can hear then in there, and they’re super cute looking. Boston America Corp. makes them

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
August 12th, 2008 at 11:12 pmOk, so I just bought my mushroom candy and couldn’t figure out how to open it. Thanks to google, I found your tips! Yay!! I ate one and it’s not that bad. Kinda tastes like the Smartees candies. I feel like I deserve a Gold Medal now for opening this! Woo hoo!!
August 25th, 2008 at 6:00 pmIn response to the candy thing, I actually bought one of the Wii candy dispensers at a dollar store not long ago.
September 6th, 2008 at 9:55 pmLooks like you’ve already gotten some feedback on the Mario Egg. Here’s a place where they sell them.
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-96-49-en-70-30h8.html
They sell them on jlist.com right now, too, but that site never keeps anything in stock very long.
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:46 amThe freezer trick works very well!
December 26th, 2008 at 8:23 pmone of the Super Mario candies you said you needed more information on is the Super Mario Choco Egg. It is the foil wrapped egg you have a picture of. It is milk chocolate, and about the size of an original Cadbury egg. Instead of a gooey filling, however, it contains a small plastic toy. These toys are all miniature Super Mario Bros characters.
February 15th, 2009 at 6:16 pmSorry if anyone’s already said this, but they also do Star Tinned candies – Like the sour Mushroom Tins but, unsurprisingly, star shaped tins and star shaped candies inside. They aren’t sour but taste quite sweet.
I found them at ForbiddenPlanet online:
http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=51426
They are £2.99GBP each, and I have no idea if they deliver/are available in America I’m afraid.
The star tins are MUCH easier to open!! I struggled with my mushroom tin – although I thought it was worth it because I actually liked the candy inside.
February 5th, 2010 at 4:14 pmI like both the Gamecube and Xbox, we have them in our home office and also in our living room.*;*

June 13th, 2011 at 5:15 amI’m so glad I Googled “Nintendo sour apple how to open tin” or I’d still be struggling and swearing my head off.
February 16th, 2012 at 12:32 pmWAAAAAAAAAAAY back in 1988 they had a super mario chocolate bar that was incredible, they also had SMB2 ice cream bars and a small assortment of mario sodas in those mini-cans, the only one I remember was the Yoshi once because they were a pungent green apple
March 1st, 2012 at 4:10 amhahaha…yeah, I was totally singing along to the Mario Bros. theme as I was reading the article. Amazing!
