How to Get Mario Items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1.8.0 Update

So, the bad news is that the Super Mario items aren’t actually unlocked in Animal Crossing until March 1st.

Once the items are available, though, then you shouldn’t have much trouble finding them. You’ll just need to open the Nook Shopping App and purchase the vast majority of them from the “Promotion” tab. Their individual prices range from about 350 to 12,000 bells, but if you’ve stuck with Animal Crossing: New Horizons over all the recent updates, then you’ll likely have enough bells to get most of them fairly quickly.
