Nintendo has announced another Super Mario Bros. 35 Special Battle, and it kicks off on March 5th, 2021. This is a Super Star battle, as you'll start the run with that power-up. Stages included in this battle include 1-1, 2-1, 2-3, 2-4, 3-1, 3-2, 3-4, 5-2, 6-2, 7-3, 8-1, and 8-3. This Special Battle runs until March 8th, 2021.
Any Aussies that missed out on the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. will have one last chance to snag one at retail price. Multiple retailers in Australia have opened pre-orders for a new round of stock, all of them set to launch sometime in March 2021. Remember, this item will no longer be manufactured after March 31st, 2021, so whatever is heading out to stores this month will likely be the last you'll ever see.

An extremely easy way to farm power-ups in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is with a Lucky Bell and a red trampoline. Jumping and Ground Pounding repeatedly allows Mario to collect 100 coins and receive a new power-up approximately every 10 seconds. pic.twitter.com/rkodZ8CUkj

Bowser's Fury mode lets you bank multiple power-ups for use whenever you want, and a trick has been discovered to snag multiple power-ups quickly. All you have to do is find one of the red trampolines in the game and ground pound it. You gain a power-up for every 100 coins you get, and ground-pounding a trampoline makes a long string of coins appear every time. If you stick with it, you can get a new power-up roughly every 10 seconds!
