The gum was indeed flat, pink, floppy Game Boys. Thanks for reminding me of another piece of my childhood!

I never had this particular gum package but I do know that gamegear ones also existed, and those came with cards I think, I was pretty young at the time. This was in the early 90s.

I noticed there was a couple that were missing later. I had a friend that remembered that some aren't there. It still has a lot there to search though.

Oh, nevermind, I see it listed now.

I do see the Mario Kart candies now. I must have glazed over them previously.

However, I know of another one that is not being shown, not made by Au'Some Candies. Back in the very early nineties, there was a set of Super Mario Bros. gummies (yes, a different one from all the varieties shown) based on Super Mario Bros. 3.

I only had a few of them before they were discontinued, and I was a rather young age, so unfortunately my memories of it are very vague. If I can find a picture somewhere on the internet, I will do my best to refer to it here.

That list of all the Nintendo candy ever made is missing one type of candy that I can think of. Also made by the Au'Some Candies company (I think) was a set of Mario Kart-themed candy. My memory of what type of candy exactly is unclear, but I still owned the outer plastic shell of one of them. Basically, it was a clear plastic Mario Kart character (as well as the kart, complete with working wheels) with candy that was inside (I believe).

The one I own is a yellow Donkey Kong.

I also own one of the Bob-Omb candies that supposedly stopped production after 9/11. The picture in the article appears to be computer generated, as the bombs are too smooth and the color of the one I own is different. I have it stored in a box with collectible toys, so I'm unsure exactly what was the difference, but I think the top part (the lid) was orange. Not entirely sure at the moment.

hmm.. I don't really remember the Game Boy gum.. I do remember, back in the late 80s-early 90s, some sort of Zelda-themed fruit gummies which if I recall tasted quite good. Those are the only Nintendo-themed candies I remember at the time, aside from a mario-themed gum that was really bright pink/purple. As for that gum case, I'm guessing it might be kind of collectible, and worth something now.
