Most remember the Super Mario Bros Happy Meal, but did you know that three months later, McDonald's also offered Super Mario Bros Game Watches? It was a three-week promo with only regional distribution - limited enough that I never come across these watches in the wild. (1990)

The project I'm working on now may be one of the most insane deep dives I've gone into. My head hurts.

Looking for some possible help on this from Mario and Donkey Kong lore experts.
Does Wrinkly Kong ever refer to herself as a grandmother or does any character, guide, manual, or anything actually refer to her as one?

Period accurate displays and merch matters. I've seen things that have completly taken me out of a scene because I knew certain items didn't exist in the period they're being depicted in.
Watching the movie Roofman, which is set in the late 90s, and immediately I noticed this. Where did they source the period-accurate Mario statue for their Toys R Us set?! I know some collectors have this one, but that's real dedication from the set designers
