The iconic "Super Mario" will be celebrating its 35th anniversary. Among the people who will join in rejoicing the anniversary are the "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" fans. Thanks to the new update that will bring some seasonal stuff and many "Super Mario"-themed goodies to the island.
'Animal Crossing' and 'Super Mario' Crossover
According to Nintendo Life, the next update of the hit simulation game will feature the legendary plumber, Mario, his brother, Luigi, Princess Peach, and even Bowser with clothes and items that are based on the characters and the hit franchise.
The announcement was made during Nintendo's Direct presentation on Wednesday, Feb. 17.
For those who want to dress up like their favorite "Super Mario" characters, "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" update 1.8.0 will bring wearable hats for Luigi, Mario, and even Wario, along with a crown from Princess Peach's wardrobe.
Plus, "ACNH" players can even get the iconic mustaches and the iconic brothers' full outfits.
Perhaps one of the most exciting additions to the game is a new way of traveling via the Warp Pipes, those massive green pipes from "Super Mario" that will practically teleport characters from one place on their islands to the next.
Interactive Items and Furniture Set
Moreover, Polygon also reported that a few other interactive elements from one of Nintendo's biggest franchises will make an appearance on the next "Animal Crossing" update.
The question blocks and flags enable players to create some playable "Super Mario" levels right at their island.
