Preservationist archives 3D scans of classic Super Mario Bros. 2 toy line

For every piece of Nintendo history that’s readily available, there’s another that’s lost to time. Be that random game releases through digital means or merch collaborations, you don’t have to look hard to hear about a part of Nintendo’s legacy that has been lost to time. While so much has already been forgotten, one preservationist is doing their best to save some of these random releases.

These “keshi gomu” rubber figures were distributed in 1993 by Bandai in honor of the release of Super Mario Bros. All-Stars on the SNES. Today bring us a series of 5 Super Mario Bros. 2 toy scans. This part of gaming history is preserved and uploaded to the Internet Archive so that anyone in the future will be able to access these rare vintage toys.

While you might not be able to pick up and enjoy this line in person, you can now sift through the entire line via 3D scans that were taken. While it’s a very small part of Nintendo’s history, it’s nice to know this random toy line will never be forgotten.
