Gold Mario Amiibo Confirmed, Is Exclusive to Walmart
Confirming earlier reports, Nintendo on Wednesday officially announced that it will release a "Gold Edition" of the Mario Amiibo toy this March. As suspected, the special-edition Amiibo will be available exclusively at giant retailer Walmart.
The Gold Edition Mario Amiibo will be released on March 20 alongside new Wii U game Mario Party 10. It will be sold exclusively in the United States, and you'll be able to buy it for $13.
This special Mario Amiibo variant represents the third Mario toy from Nintendo. The other two are the original "fireball" Mario from the Amiibo Smash Bros. series and a new "Wave" Mario (at left) from the upcoming Super Mario Amiibo series that launches March 20 with Mario Party 10.
The game has an "Amiibo Party Mode" that is only available by syncing up compatible figures, such as the new Mario toy. The full list of Amiibo-compatible games is available here.
It's not uncommon for retailers to snag exclusives for Amiibo toys. After all, Shulk is exclusive to GameStop, Meta Knight can only be purchased at Best Buy, and Lucario is only available at Toys 'R Us.
Last week, Nintendo revealed the worldwide best-selling Amiibo toys and more.
