September 13, 2025 marked 40 years since the original Super Mario Bros. first launched in Japan, and Nintendo has been riding that milestone ever since. Now, nearly a year on, a brand new collectible pin set has surfaced through GameStop, giving fans another reason to spend a little time in the Mario aisle.
The pin set features art pulling from multiple entries across the franchise, with Super Mario Galaxy among the games represented alongside Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and others. It is a solid cross-section of the series that covers both classic and modern eras.
How to actually get one
Here is the lowdown: the offer is only available in store at GameStop. There is no online option right now, so you cannot just add it to a cart from your couch. You need to spend $100 on Mario games in a physical GameStop location to receive the pin set.
No other retailers have announced a similar deal at this point. That could change, but for now GameStop is the only place to pick this up.
Part of a bigger anniversary push
This pin set is not the first piece of 40th anniversary merchandise to surface through retailers. Best Buy previously offered a Super Mario 40th Anniversary Collectible Case tied to Switch game purchases, which shows that Nintendo and its retail partners have been rolling out anniversary items in waves rather than all at once.
For fans of Super Mario Galaxy specifically, seeing the game represented in official anniversary merchandise is a nice nod to one of the most beloved entries in the series. The gravity-bending Wii platformer has maintained a devoted following for nearly two decades, and its inclusion alongside more recent titles says something about how Nintendo views its legacy.
If you want to brush up on the game while you wait for your pin set to arrive, the Super Mario Galaxy guides cover the essentials worth knowing.
Watch for any retailer updates in the coming weeks. If more stores jump in with their own anniversary offers before the celebration winds down, it would be worth keeping an eye on what else surfaces.
