If you pay attention to the end of Nintendo's teaser video, you'll see a quick scrolling list of the Super Mario Bros items coming to the Nook Shop, including a mushroom mural, Princess Peach dress and shoes, the Wario outfit, block flooring, Yoshi's Egg rug, shells, Thwomp, the question block, and more.
In addition to being able to place these items anywhere on your island, you'll also be able to acquire and place two warp pipes — these will be useful as ways to quickly travel from one part of your island to another.
The new additions are in celebration of the prolonged Mario 35th anniversary, one of the multiple Mario-themed things we've seen from Nintendo in recent months. Be sure to check out Nintendo's Direct for all the new announcements, as well as the timeline below for the biggest news.
