For a limited time, Mario and friends are
taking over the Boston Pizza experience, introducing a new Mushroom
Kingdom-inspired menu feature.
TORONTO, July 2, 2024
/CNW/ - To bring fun to families across Canada, Boston Pizza announced today that they
are renewing their collaboration with Nintendo for another summer.
Kicking off on July 2 and running to
September 30, 2024, Boston Pizza
guests across Canada will get the
chance to immerse themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom with an
all-new menu feature, interactive gameplay experiences, an exciting
contest, and more.
"Following a successful first year partnering with one of the
world's premier entertainment brands, we knew we wanted to bring
more Mario fun to Boston Pizza guests," said James Kawalecki, Vice President Marketing,
Boston Pizza International. "As the leader of family dining
occasions, we continually seek to enhance the kids experience and
this collaboration does just that."
As an exciting new addition to the partnership this year, the
Boston Pizza kids' menu will feature a Power-Up Mushroom &
Pepperoni Pizza to help fuel kids' next adventure in the Mushroom
Kingdom. Kids can also enjoy a variety of exciting activities
featuring the beloved and iconic characters and games available on
the Nintendo Switch system.
Back for another limited time, kids and families can take their
fun to the next level with Nintendo Switch Fun Sundays - an
enhanced dining experience that will be offered at select Boston
Pizza locations in big cities and small towns across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and for the first time, in
Manitoba. Every Sunday in
September, guests in the Nintendo Switch Fun Sundays reserved
section at participating restaurants have the option of ordering an
extra special menu item: a Nintendo Switch system, delivered right
to their table for families to use during their dining experience
(available to borrow with the Nintendo staff's support on a first
come, first served basis). The system will come equipped with some
fan-favourite games featuring Mario that guests can enjoy as they
await their meal. Visit BostonPizza.com in September for details
about the Nintendo Switch Fun Sundays, including locations, dates
and times.
To help keep the fun going at home, Boston Pizza will give
Canadians the chance to win one of 25 prize packs each of which
include a Nintendo Switch – OLED Model system and three selected
games featuring Mario. Plus, 20 additional winners will receive
Nintendo branded merchandise valued at $250 CAD. Winners will be drawn on October 1, 2024, and must meet contest
eligibility criteria.
Families can discover Mario and friends on Nintendo Switch - a
versatile video game system that can be played anytime, anywhere.
The Nintendo Switch family of systems is home to a vast library of
exclusive games from beloved franchises like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Party
Superstars, and Super Mario
Bros. Wonder. For more information about Nintendo Switch
