Super Mario Trading Card Collection

The Super Mario Trading Card Collection is a series of Mario collectible cards launched by the Italian publishing house in April 2022. A complete set comprises 252 numbered cards, as well as 9 additional limited edition cards that are unnumbered and deemed "outside of the ordinary card assortment". A designated collector's tin and a collector's album are also sold in stores, the latter containing a brochure with a checklist for the 252 numbered cards.

The cards are officially distributed in the following packages:
 * 8-card booster pack
 * 24-card value pack
 * 32-card kit (4 booster packs)
 * 144-card kit (18 booster packs)
 * Starter set pack (1 collector's album alongside 3 booster packs and 1 limited edition card)

A small collector's tin comes with three booster packs and two limited edition cards, while a large collector's tin comes with six booster packs and one limited edition card, though some countries have eight packs. The large tin was not released in the UK; instead, the small tin contains five packs instead of three.
