I took a picture of the top of the box so you could see them all. The actual fruit snacks don\u2019t photograph as well. So you have Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, a Koopa Shell, Star, and Toad. They didn\u2019t even bother putting them in karts or anything. And I hate how they call the Koopa Shell a Koopa Troopa even though it\u2019s just a shell. But I guess that\u2019s being nitpicky. At least Toad is still in there, he\u2019s always been my favorite Mario character, mostly because I use him in the Kart titles. The snacks don\u2019t taste very well to me either. I used to love fruit snacks as a kid, but not so much anymore. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s an age thing or if they aren\u2019t making them as good as they used to. I think it\u2019s a little of both. Anyway, here is a picture of the top of the box.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=13881\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13881\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13881\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART2.jpg\" alt=\"MARIOKART2\" width=\"472\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART2.jpg 472w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART2-150x49.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART2-300x97.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The back of the box just had some generic ideas for playing outside, and since it wasn\u2019t Nintendo related, I didn\u2019t take a picture of it. They did change the pouches the snacks come in, though, at least. One has Mario on it and the other has Luigi. So here\u2019s a picture of those:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=13882\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13882\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13882\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART3.jpg\" alt=\"MARIOKART3\" width=\"488\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART3.jpg 488w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART3-150x103.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/MARIOKART3-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s it!
