Nintendo has partnered with Mojang and Microsoft to bring together the worlds of the Super Mario series and Minecraft. On May 17, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack will come to Minecraft: Wii U Edition as a free game update. Players who download the update will have immediate access to new skins, a Super Mario-themed pre-made world, and a set of Super Mario-themed music and item textures.
All of the content is inspired by games in the Super Mario series, such as Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine. The Super Mario Mash-Up Pack will be included on the disc when the retail version of Minecraft: Wii U Edition launches in stores on June 17.
The Wii U version of Minecraft features the full game and previously released content packs. Downloading the Super Mario Mash-Up will give players 40 new Super Mario-themed skins, which transform the game’s characters into Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Wario, and all seven Koopalings. All the world and item textures in the game will also be redone, providing players the opportunity to create their own Super Mario-themed locations within the world of Minecraft. While building, players can listen to 15 pieces of music from Super Mario 64.
Minecraft: Wii U Edition can be downloaded in the Nintendo eShop on the Wii U console and on Nintendo.com.
