Four Super Mario Collectibles Europe Wants After The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Ranked
Europe watched The Super Mario Galaxy Movie 23 days before Japan did. Nintendo and Illumination opened the film in British, French and German cinemas on 1 April 2026, while Japanese audiences waited until 24 April. As a result, the first wave of movie-driven demand for super mario collectibles hit European shops before it reached Tokyo. The film then posted a reported 372 million dollar global opening weekend, the biggest of 2026 at that point. However, the pieces serious collectors chased were not cinema tie-ins. Instead, they were Japanese collaborations that already existed: a G-SHOCK, a UNO deck, a plush cushion and a skateboard. This countdown ranks all four, from number four up to the single piece we would buy first.
The super mario collectibles worth buying in Europe in 2026 are the G-SHOCK x Super Mario Bros. DW-5600SMB-4JR, the THREE WEATHER x Super Mario skateboard deck, the Gelato Pique x Super Mario Star cushion and the UNO Super Mario card game. Each one carries an official Nintendo licence, and each one originated in Japan rather than in the movie merchandising pipeline. Below, we count down from fourth place to first and explain why the watch wins.
Why the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Matters for Super Mario Collectibles
A sequel that opened in Europe first
The release calendar tells the story. Nintendo originally announced a 3 April 2026 date, then pulled it forward to 1 April for the UK, France, Germany and most other markets. Meanwhile, Japan kept its later 24 April slot. For European collectors, that gap mattered more than any trailer. Shops in Paris, London and Berlin felt the surge first, and the Japanese collaboration pieces on their shelves disappeared before Japanese fans had even seen the film.
| Market | Cinema release | Note |
|---|---|---|
| UK, France, Germany | 1 April 2026 | Moved forward from 3 April |
| Japan | 24 April 2026 | 23 days after Europe |
| Worldwide opening weekend | About 372 million dollars | Biggest opening of 2026 at the time |
Movie merch versus Japanese collaborations
Cinema tie-in products come in huge print runs, and they rarely hold value. In contrast, the four items in this countdown come from Japanese brands with their own fan bases: Casio, Mattel, Gelato Pique and THREE WEATHER. Because of this, collectors buy them for the collaboration, not for the film. The movie simply reminded a few million Europeans that Mario exists. Still, the ranking below rewards scarcity, design and long-term shelf appeal over hype, and the order counts down to the best.

Which Super Mario Collectibles Rank Fourth and Third?
Number four: UNO Super Mario Card Game by Mattel (€20)
Mattel and Nintendo first released a Mario edition of UNO for the Japanese market in 2018, long before any Illumination film existed. That heritage earns it a place here. The deck swaps the standard colour suits for Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Peach artwork, and it adds one mechanic you will not find in a regular pack. Specifically, the Super Star card grants a one-turn invincibility shield. If an opponent plays a Draw 2 or a Wild Draw 4 against you, the Super Star deflects the penalty back at them. For example, a family game night in Lyon turns into a Mario Kart-style ambush very quickly.
It ranks fourth because it is the most accessible item on the list, not because it is weak. At €20, the UNO Super Mario Card Game is the cheapest way to own an official Nintendo licence from a major toy company. Moreover, sealed decks are the ones that keep value. Most buyers open and play theirs, so an unopened box becomes scarcer every year without any help from the movie.
UNO Super Mario Card Game | Mattel
Official Super Mario x UNO collaboration by Mattel featuring Mario, Luigi, Toad and the whole Mushroom Kingdom crew. This is the classic UNO experience with a game-changing twist: the special Mario Super Star Card makes your character invincible, letting you bounce “Draw 4” or “Draw 2” cards straight back to your opponent. Two customizable wild cards add even more chaos and strategy to every round.
Number three: Gelato Pique x Super Mario Star Plush Cushion (€80)
Gelato Pique belongs to Japan’s Mash Holdings, and the brand built its reputation on ultra-soft loungewear. Its Super Mario partnership launched in September 2021, with Japanese pre-orders opening on 13 September and general sales on 17 September. By January 2024, the fourth volume of the collaboration had grown to 41 items. That consistency explains why collectors treat the line as a series rather than a one-off stunt. In fact, the collaboration outlived two console generations of Mario merchandising cycles.
The Star cushion takes the invincibility Super Star and renders it in the brand’s signature plush fabric. It sits third because it is the one item here that works outside a collector’s cabinet. Similarly, it photographs beautifully next to a games console or on a sofa, and the Gelato Pique logo carries real cachet in Japanese fashion circles. Above all, the collaboration lines sell through quickly in Japan, which means European stock rarely gets replenished.
Gelato Pique x Super Mario Star Plush Cushion
The Gelato Pique x Super Mario “Star” Cushion reinterprets the iconic Super Star through a soft, minimalist lens. Instead of bold colors, this edition uses a warm cream tone and a fluffy texture, creating a calm and elevated version of the classic character.
Number Two: THREE WEATHER x Super Mario Skateboard Deck (€200)
A Japanese skate label meets Nintendo
THREE WEATHER is a Japanese skate label, and its Mario collaboration deck is the piece that surprised us most during research. Skate collaborations with Nintendo are unusual, because the company guards its characters tightly. Therefore, an officially licensed deck from a Japanese brand is a genuine rarity rather than a mass-market licensing exercise. Collectors in the UK and Germany have treated it as wall art first and a skateboard second.
Why it ranks second
The deck sits second for three reasons. First, licensed Nintendo skate decks almost never reach European retail through official channels, so a sealed example at a European shop removes the import headache. Second, decks display vertically, which makes them the most striking object in this countdown for a flat or a studio. Third, a €200 price places it below the watch yet well above the cushion, which matches its scarcity. Even so, it loses the top spot because a deck has no mechanism, no engraving and no reference number. The THREE WEATHER x Super Mario Skateboard Deck is the best wall piece here. However, the best collectible is still to come.
THREE WEATHER x Super Mario Skateboard Deck
THREE WEATHER has produced a limited-edition skateboard deck featuring iconic Super Mario imagery rendered in vivid, collectible-grade print. The deck functions as both a rideable board and a standalone art object. THREE WEATHER executes the collaboration with the tight detail work the brand is known for.
Number One: The G-SHOCK x Super Mario Bros. DW-5600SMB-4JR Tops the Super Mario Collectibles List
A 40th anniversary watch, not a movie watch
Casio launched the DW-5600SMB-4 in Japan on 11 November 2023, with a tax-included price of 17,600 yen. Pre-orders opened on the Casio Japan web store on 2 November. The timing was deliberate: 2023 marked the 40th anniversary of G-SHOCK, and Casio used the Mario collaboration as one of its celebration pieces. Consequently, this watch predates the Galaxy Movie by two and a half years, and it owes nothing to cinema marketing. That independence is exactly why it holds value.
G-Shock x Super Mario Bros. DW-5600SMB-4JR Watch (Limited Edition)
The Casio G-SHOCK × Super Mario Bros. DW-5600SMB-4JR (Limited Edition) is a bold, nostalgic tribute to one of gaming’s most iconic universes.
Built on the timeless DW-5600 silhouette, this special release features a vibrant red resin case inspired by Mario’s signature look, combined with retro pixel graphics that reference classic in-game elements. Subtle design details across the band and dial bring the world of Super Mario to life, making it instantly recognizable to fans and collectors.
What Casio actually built
Casio based the watch on the DW-5600, the square that defines the brand. The bezel is red with gold lettering, and the light blue dial hides a green Koopa Troopa shell. Meanwhile, the brown resin band carries printed 8-bit Mario sprites, and the case back features a laser-engraved Mario falling past a Koopa Troopa. Beyond that, the mechanicals are classic G-SHOCK: shock resistance, 200-metre water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, a multi-function alarm, flash alert and an EL backlight. In short, it is a watch you can wear daily without worrying about it.

Why the JR suffix matters in Europe
The JR suffix identifies the Japanese domestic release. Casio sold the watch in Asia with regional codes as well, yet European collectors consistently pay a premium for the JR box and papers. Because of this, a sealed DW-5600SMB-4JR at €300 from a French shop is a sharper buy than it first appears. Importing one from Japan means VAT, customs handling and a courier fee on top of the hammer price. Instead, a European purchase lands at the quoted price, with no surprise at the door.
| Rank | Item | Brand | Rare Inventory price | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | UNO Super Mario Card Game | Mattel | €20 | Entry point, 2018 Japan origin, Super Star rule |
| 3 | Star Plush Cushion | Gelato Pique | €80 | Fashion cachet, collaboration running since 2021 |
| 2 | Super Mario Skateboard Deck | THREE WEATHER | €200 | Rare licensed deck, best wall display |
| 1 | DW-5600SMB-4JR Watch | Casio G-SHOCK | €300 | 40th anniversary piece, engraved case back, JDM box |
Rare Inventory Recommends
Editor’s pick: Buy the G-SHOCK first. It is the only item in this countdown with a reference number, a documented Japanese launch date and a production story tied to a brand anniversary rather than a film. The deck comes second if you have wall space. Then, add the cushion and the UNO deck as the pieces that make the shelf feel lived in.
How to Build a Super Mario Collectibles Shelf Around the Movie
Pair the objects, not the characters
The smartest displays we have seen in Europe this year mix the four items by material. For instance, the resin watch sits on top of the wooden deck, with the plush Star beside it and the sealed UNO box propping up the back. That contrast reads better than a row of identical figures. Additionally, every object here comes from a different Japanese maker, so the shelf tells a story about licensing rather than about one toy line.
Timing your purchase
The movie’s European window has already passed, and Japan’s release followed three weeks later. Consequently, the stock that reached European shops in spring 2026 is the stock that exists now. Nintendo and Casio have not announced a second production run of the DW-5600SMB-4, and Gelato Pique collaboration volumes sell out in Japan before export. Most importantly, none of these items has a movie sequel to restart demand on a schedule. If you want them, the right moment is while a European shop still lists them.
Where to Buy
Every item in this countdown is in stock at Rare Inventory, a collectibles shop based in France that ships across Europe, UK included. Because the stock sits inside the EU, continental buyers pay no import duty and no customs handling fee. Therefore, the price you see on the product page is the price that arrives at your door.
