Mario Hanafuda

The Mario Hanafuda deck is a deck of Japanese playing cards known as Hanafuda. It was introduced during the 30th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros..

Illustrations on the cards
In the Mario Hanafuda deck, all of the cards' traditional illustrations have been modified with elements from the Mario universe. Furthermore, a close inspection of the illustration reveals that a new printing method has been used with respect to the one used in the Club Nintendo Hanafuda. Another important aspect is that now some months follow a theme (although others are mixes of miscellaneous enemies, power ups and the Mario Bros. themselves):


 * January is dedicated to the Yoshi series.
 * February is dedicated to the present time Yoshi.
 * March is dedicated to important women and girls in the Mario universe.
 * April is dedicated to the Donkey Kong Country series.
 * August is dedicated to the Luigi's Mansion games.
 * December is dedicated to Bowser, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings.
