Super Mario 3D World Special Edition Furry Sleeve

Super Mario 3D World released in November of 2013, exclusively on Wii U. While the game didn’t release receive a collector’s edition in the normal sense, some European stores were offering a special sleeve on a first come first served basis.

Super-Mario-3D-World-Sleeve

This must be the first special edition with a fur. Or, at least partly, because Mario’s Cat Suit belly is made of a soft patch of ‘real’ hairs, so you can get a sense how the cat suit would feel in real life. It’s soft!

Super-Mario-3D-World-Sleeve-Fur

Aside from the fur, this cover does look quite nice. On the back there’s a composition of elements and playable characters from the game, and the logo. It’s actually the same as the front of the regular cover, minus the background.

Super-Mario-3D-World-Sleeve-Back

This may not be the most impressive edition (after all, it’s only a sleeve), but it is certainly a unique one, at least it’s the only furred sleeve I have in my collection.
