Super Mario returns to 4K Blu-ray next week with a new collectible edition of the 2023 movie. Exclusive to Walmart, The Super Mario Bros. Movie Limited Edition Steelbook was designed to resemble the iconic Question Blocks from the Nintendo series. Like most Walmart-exclusive editions of popular films, the new edition of the Mario Movie is cheaper than many steelbook releases these days. You can preorder The Super Mario Bros. Movie Limited Edition Steelbook for $28 ahead of its March 4 release. Up until recently Walmart was charging $35, so it’s possible the price will increase again.
$28 (was $35) | Releases March 4
Walmart’s new Steelbook Edition of The Super Mario Bros. Movie is modeled after the iconic Question Block from the games (and film). Instead of bopping it with your head to reveal its contents, you open it like any other case. The interior of the case features landscape artwork depicting the Mushroom Kingdom’s many varieties of large mushrooms.
The steelbook case has slots for the 4K Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray discs of the film. Like the original release, you’ll also get a digital copy of the film. The Mario Movie is available on Movies Anywhere, so you can add it to your library and watch on any of your devices.
Walmart initially priced the new edition at $28 before raising it to $35, where it has remained all year–until now, at least. With just one week to go before launch, Walmart is now charging $28 again. If you placed your order when it was $35, Walmart’s preorder price guarantee ensures you will pay the lowest offered before release. Walmart doesn’t charge until your preorder ships, and adjustments are automatically applied to your account.
$41.63
Walmart restocked the Power-Up Edition Collectible Steelbook when preorders opened for the new edition late last year. This edition released in 2023 and promptly sold out at most major retailers.
Walmart has the original steelbook in stock right now, but you may want to hold off on snagging a copy at its current price. The Power-Up Edition was priced at $28 for the past couple months, but it’s going for $41.63 as of February 25.
Since Walmart is the only retailer with copies on hand, this is the best price for the Power-Up Steelbook Edition. If you bought it from a reseller on Amazon, you’d wind up paying roughly $50. That said, if you’re interested in adding this collectible edition to your display shelf, we’d recommend circling back to see if the price drops again.
The Power-Up Edition has a black case with a Super Mushroom on the front and back. The interior artwork is a landscape shot of the Mushroom Kingdom leading up to Princess Peach’s Castle. It also comes with 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital versions of the movie.
All editions of The Super Mario Bros. Movie contain the same special features. You can check those out below.

Super Mario’s longtime nemesis has an upcoming steelbook release, too. And no, we aren’t talking about Bowser. Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s Limited Edition Steelbook is up for preorder at Amazon and Walmart ahead of its April 15 release. Amazon also has an exclusive Shadow the Hedgehog-themed Limited Edition Steelbook, but it’s challenging to find in stock.
