How to get Super Mario items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing has always been a series that isn't afraid to break the fourth wall and incorporate elements from other Nintendo properties. Being a life simulation, this only makes sense. The people most likely to have some sort of decoration, clothing, or other memorabilia for Nintendo franchises are also the ones most likely to be invested in games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Even if that's not a player's real-life style, the fantasy of decorating and designing an entire island in ways you never would, or could, is incredibly appealing.

Difficulty

Easy

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has tons of these crossover items, with more added over the various updates to the game. One such update gave players access to a giant chunk of Mario-themed items to purchase and place as they wish. That being said, the method for getting them can be a little strange. These items were added over a year ago, so the knowledge may be lost, and the items themselves buried a bit to make finding them a bit tougher too. If you want to get your hands on all the Mario clothing, decorations, and more in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, here's a full guide.

How to get Super Mario items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

As of March 2021, Super Mario items were rolled out into Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Like all items in the game, you'll need to pay some of your hard-earned Bells to get your hands on the collection.

Step 1: Make sure your version of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is fully updated. If your game somehow hasn't gotten the update from back in March 2021, these items won't be available.

Step 2: Go to the Nook Stop Terminal in the Resident Services Center and access Nook Shopping.

Step 3: Alternatively, you can access this menu via the Nook Shopping app on your NookPhone.

Step 4: Tab over to the Promotion section.

How to get to Grate Guy’s Casino in Super Mario RPG
Casino entrance in Super Mario RPG

Like many role-playing games, Super Mario RPG features plenty of fun secrets to find as you journey through its world. One of these secrets is the Grate Guy's Casino, which will require you to do some jumping in a very specific place to unlock an incredibly well-hidden passage. If you're looking to play the slots or kick back with some Blackjack, we'll tell you how to find your way to this super secret spot.
How to get to Grate Guy's Casino
There are two steps required to reach the Grate Guy Casino.
Get the Bright Card
The first step to reaching Grate Guy's Casino is obtaining the Bright Card, as you'll be unable to enter without it. To find this item, make your way to Booster's Tower. As you ascend the tower, you'll eventually come across a juggling character named Knife Guy, who will challenge you to a game that requires you to pick which hand he's holding a yellow ball in after he finishes juggling. You'll need to win twelve times in a row before he'll eventually reward you with the Bright Card. It's fairly easy to figure out which hand the yellow ball has landed by simply watching which direction it was moving when the juggling stops, so it shouldn't pose too much of an issue.
Find the secret entrance
With the Bright Card in hand, your goal is now to find Grate Guy's Casino. To do so, you'll need to head over to Bean Valley and walk to the center of this area to find a collection of pipes that you can go down to reach various underground sections. Go down the northernmost pipe and engage the Chain Chomp here in battle. Afterward, you'll need to jump three times in the corner where the Chain Chomp was before you defeated it, which will reveal an extraordinarily well-hidden block that you can jump to that will allow you to reach the top of the wall. Head through the exit here.

When you emerge on the other side, go into the house and approach the two doormen. They won't let you pass without the Bright Card, but since you've found it already, you'll be free to pass through into the casino. Inside, you'll find three games you can play: Slots, Blackjack, and a guessing game that requires you to look in the opposite direction that the person points. Compete in any of these as many times as you'd like and have fun!

How to find secret boss Culex in Super Mario RPG
Mario and pals face off against Culex in Super Mario RPG.

If there's something that you can count on in just about every role-playing game, it's that you'll eventually have an opportunity to fight a secret optional boss that is stronger than anything else in the game. In Super Mario RPG, that optional challenge is Culex, an interdimensional being that looks quite out of place in the world of Super Mario RPG with his 16-bit visuals, which are retained from the original SNES version of the game.

What hasn't changed, though, is that he's still a tough opponent to take down. But before laying the hurt on him, you'll need to actually find him. Here's how to get to Culex and earn a valuable reward for his defeat.
How to find Culex
Finding Culex begins by heading to a home on the left side of Moleville. There are a few folks in here, but you're looking for the guy selling fireworks for a whopping 500 coins. Purchase these outrageously expensive fireworks, then head back outside to a nearby girl who is pretending to run a store. You can give her the fireworks in exchange for a Shiny Stone, which is exactly the item that you'll need to access the door that leads you to the fight against Culex.
