Update: Bad news for those who look to the quick squeeze of an elephant ball as stress management – the folks at JB Hi-Fi have issued an update on their Super Mario Bros. Wonder pre-order bonus and revealed that it is no longer. Instead, customers will now get a Super Mario Bros. Wonder Elephant Pin with their pre-order.
The retailer has told customers in an email (thanks Vooks!), “We’re reaching out to let you know that the pre-order bonus we had online at the time your pre-order was placed is unfortunately different to what we are being supplied. We apologise for the mix up here.
“The new pre-order bonus we are being supplied with is a Super Mario Bros Wonder Elephant Pin
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this and thank you for your understanding.”
While it’s obviously disappointing that such a neat little bonus has been swapped out for something rather standard (but still nice-looking!), this one is seemingly out of JB’s control.
Original Story: Good news for the Venn diagram of folks looking to pre-order a physical copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Nintendo Switch and also go absolutely savage on a soft, plastic ball shaped like a fruit shaped like an elephant – the video game and tech merchants over at JB have got you covered!
That’s right, chuck in a pre-order in-store or online at the ol’ black-and-yellow dungeon and, provided you get in early enough, you’ll also score one of these darling little Elephant Fruit friends as a bonus. JB’s also running one of its classic “Trade 2 Get This Free” deals for eligible Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X titles so you’ll be able to save some money and save your telly from gamer rage in one fell swoop.
