It's a-meee, Mario! (Bibbity Bobbity!)

Have a basement full of coins that need to be collected? New licensed Nintendo Energy Drinks are here to save the day (unless you've wasted six men trying to defeat Bowser and, unfortunately, the "day" is in another castle).

Mario's Power Up is, for lack of a better analogy, a video game geek's wettest dream. My only hope is that this fierce little Italian's beverage isn't mushroom-flavored in any way. Unless it's the good kind of mushroom.

Donkey Kong (I know that monkey! His name is Donkey!) has apparently taken a break from racing Toad and Wario to model his usual quizzical look for the Jungle Juice can. For the sake of Nintendo's reputation, I hope that he sticks to flinging what monkeys are known for flinging instead of these hefty 8.4 ounce cans...

...and that the Nintendians aren't here to wage war against Earth for a million allowances worth of quarters.

But I digress.

Some brainiac in marketing thought it necessary to note in package text that these drinks aren't for children. Well, Der.
But if you do have a brood of NES-aware kids, you can probably get them out of your hair with a handful of strategically-placed pennies and a can of Power Up! Bibbity Bobbity.
