The latest Nintendo Direct presentation unveiled a ton of new amiibo, and my collector senses are in overdrive. However, it was two stunning Mario and Rosalina figures, inspired by Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Collection dropping later this year, that I can't stop thinking about.
I've been collecting the NFC-enabled Switch accessories since the first wave, and have around 150+ of the things, but as a Princess Rosalina diehard fan (it's not just because of our similar names, I swear), I've never wanted an amiibo more than now.
There are already a couple amiibo of Princess Rosalina, and they're just as adorable as she is, but this pose is everything I've ever wanted in a piece of Super Mario Galaxy merch.
Throughout the first Super Mario Galaxy game, you can find the space princess reading a storybook to her adorable Luma friends in her library. I got the original Wii game at launch, and it was hands-down my favorite part, so I adore that Nintendo thought of commemorating this iconic moment. I'll be pre-ordering this as soon as humanly possible.
Of course, I can't forget Mario, who looks fantastic in this dynamically posed amiibo. There's already a ton of figures of Mario standing, so I'm glad they opted for a more exciting pose. The new collectible features our favorite mustached plumber about to soar through space after jumping on a launch star, with an adorable Luma right behind him.
Just like the Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo, still available for $29.99 at Best Buy, the figure features a unique base. Rather than the typical rounded emblem that a lot of amiibos come with, Nintendo chose to recreate one of the planets from the Galaxy games.
Both amiibo figures look highly detailed, so it should come as no surprise that their prices are a little on the more expensive side, especially in the wake of the Nintendo Switch price hike, which amiibos were not spared from.
The brand-new figures are both available to pre-order for $39.99 at Best Buy, the same MSRP as the Street Fighter 6 figures at launch. Hopefully, that means that Mario and Rosalina will also be on the larger side just like the Luke, Kimberly, and Jaime figures, but we'll have to wait until they launch on April 2, 2026, to find out.
