Casio works with Nintendo to create a Super Mario Bros Themed G-Shock watch.
Fans of G-Shock watches and Super Mario Bros both have something to look forward to – a new timepiece. Casio Malaysia are bringing in the DW5600SMB-4, a G-Shock model that is themed after the legendary Nintendo video game series, Super Mario.
This specific G-Shock model features Mario red on the bezel and dial with a blue background just like the video game’s overworld stages. It also has gold accents just like the coins the character collects. The watch is based on the DW-5600 design with a classic Mario displayed when the backlight is activated. A glass-printed Koopa Troopa sheel is on the bottom of the dial. On the band, an 8-bit Mario image is printed. All dial fonts are 8-bit as well, for that period-correct look.
The DW5600SMB-4 is expected to retail in Malaysia for RM745 per piece. It is a limited edition model, so be sure to snap yours up as soon as it goes on sale. Here’s a link to the e-commerce store link and the press release with more.
PRESS RELEASE
Casio Malaysia is pleased to introduce the DW5600SMB-4 model featuring design elements from
the popular Nintendo® game, Super Mario Bros. This limited-edition timepiece represents the
classic 1980s game through its whimsical design and nostalgic theme, as well as Mario’s “never
give up” attitude that parallels the spirit of challenge present in G-SHOCK’s origins.
Both G-SHOCK and Super Mario are cultural icons from Japan that have amassed dedicated
fanbases that span decades and countries. With this in mind, G-SHOCK brings the Super Mario
Bros. world to life through a carefully curated design and playful details that will appeal to all
generations of Super Mario lovers – Mario red on the bezel and dial, background blue of the
game’s overworld stages and gold accents that recall Mario’s precious coins.
The base model adopts the square DW-5600 design that represents G-SHOCK’s iconic
silhouette. When turning on the backlight, the classic Mario is displayed, and by combining it with
the glass-printed Koopa Troopa shell on the bottom of the dial, the iconic game move is
reproduced. The 8-bit Mario is printed on the band like camouflage, and all the dial fonts are 8-bit
to create the atmosphere of 1985. To commemorate the collaboration, the watch comes in special
packaging with an illustration of the opening screen of the game and Mario’s signature phrase,
“Here we go!”
The timepiece is equipped with standard G-SHOCK technology including:
● Shock Resistance
● 200-Meter Water Resistance
● EL Backlight with Flash Alert
● Multi-Function Alarm
● Stopwatch (24 Hr)
● Countdown Timer (60 Min)
● 12/24 Hour Time Formats
The DW5600SMB-4 will retail at RM 745 and is soon to be available for purchase at Casio E-
Commerce website, G-SHOCK Stores, G-Factory, Casio Authorized Dealers.
