Mario theme

The Mario Theme appears in all games to date from Animal Crossing (GCN) onwards. In Animal Crossing and Wild World the items can only be obtained through Universal Codes/Downloads at special Nintendo events. In City Folk they appear in-game by shooting down floating presents with a slingshot, though not all presents contain Mario Series items. These items cannot be reordered through your Catalogue.

Mario Series items are styled in a retro, 8-bit fashion. The sell price of these items - 256 Bells - refers to the number of colours available in an 8-bit palette. Unlike a conventional series which has 10 items of furniture and corresponding wallpaper and flooring, this series has 10 or 12 non-furniture pieces. These items are simply replicas of enemies, obstacles and power-ups from Nintendo's Mario games. Four more were added to the original set in Wild World. Unlike conventional items, which have shading corresponding to the light in the room, Mario items have pre-determined shading which moves with the item.
