Cold Stone offers three new ice cream flavors in partnership with Nintendo. If you want to taste Kirby, try the Mighty Pink Puff, which is a combination of strawberry ice cream, strawberries, mini marshmallows, and caramel.

Now, if you want to truly embody the Mario fan in you, then you should go for the Superstar Sprinkle Blast, which is made of cake batter ice cream, yellow cake, blue frosting, and rainbow sprinkles.

Finally, for Animal Crossing fans out there, go try the Island Getaway, which contains chocolate ice cream, strawberries, banana, and whipped topping.

You can also get a Mario Kart-themed ice cream cake, the Rainbow Sprinkle Road. Buying it will also give you the chance to win a Nintendo Switch OLED.

This isn't the first time Cold Stone has partnered with Nintendo. The US ice cream chain also partnered with Mario in the past years when it brought the Mario & Luigi Masterpiece Creation that features sweet cream ice cream, rainbow sprinkles, blue frosting, and fudge.

It also introduced the Rainbow Sprinkle Road which is inspired by Mario Kart that featured layers of moist yellow cake and sweet creat ice cream with rainbow sprinkles wrapped in fluffy blue frosting. They also released Gotta Have It cup designs inspired by the popular Nintendo video games-Super Mario Maker 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Yoshi's Crafted World.

Upcoming Animal Crossing Events

July is a quiet month for Animal Crossing, unlike the past two years when Nintendo released summer updates for the game. It looks like there are no updates planned this time, but fans can still enjoy some activities and buy seasonal Nook Shopping items.

Players may notice bright blue shells lining the shore in June, which are called Summer Shells that are used for seasonal DIY recipes. You will see more of these shells throughout July, which will enable two to craft more summer items.

There will also be a Fishing Tourney and Bug-Off in July 2022. Furthermore, there will be limited-time Nook Shopping Items to celebrate real-life events throughout the month of July. Players can get Bamboo Grass to honor the Japanese event, Tanabata. There will also be a Ship-Wheel to celebrate Marine Day.
