Not to be confused with Club Nintendo Hanafuda.

Illustration on the upper face of the inner box of the red Mario Hanafuda deck

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. The illustrations on the cards, including the ones on the inner box, are derived from the currently produced President set.

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's Island series.
• February is dedicated to the present time Yoshi.
• March is dedicated to main female characters in the Mario universe.
• April is dedicated to the Donkey Kong Country series.
• May features underwater-themed illustrations.
• August is dedicated to the Luigi's Mansion games.
• December is dedicated to Bowser, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings.
