You have Mario, Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, and Koopa Troopa shell and the Star. Back in my day it was called a &#8220;Star Man&#8221;, by the way. But why couldn&#8217;t they add Peach to this line up? Seems a little odd to me. Maybe it&#8217;s just like the Betty situation with the Flintstone&#8217;s vitamins (look it up :P).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i17.photobucket.com\/albums\/b90\/tanookikuribo\/Tanooki%204\/hy.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Now, when I was a kid they had Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 fruit snacks.

Also, it had Mouser which was a boss in SMB2 he has no business in these SMB3 fruit snacks! The interesting thing was that if you found a blue Princess you could send it in to get a nifty looking shirt. Well, with $0.75 for shipping. But hey, that&#8217;s pretty damn close to free&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i17.photobucket.com\/albums\/b90\/tanookikuribo\/Tanooki%204\/ggg.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s a cool promotion.
