Jhonatan Ayala Conceptually Designed Super Mario-Themed Red Bulls

— April 9, 2014 — Lifestyle
Graphic designer Jhonatan Ayala made Red Bull's packaging a little more playful by designing them in the likes of the retro-game Super Mario. Everyone's favorite fictional plumber has many costumes and superhero qualities, so he provides many options for packaging designs.

The Peruvian designer made this collection of Super Mario-themed Red Bulls to have over ten different flavors. Each flavor represents the plumber's strengths in the video game that let him get closer to saving his Princess Peach.

Some of the energy drink names include 'Cape Feather,' which is perfect for Red Bull's slogan "Red Bull gives you wings," 'Fire Power,' 'Super Leaf' and 'Super Mushroom.' Super Mario's energy boosters tie in perfectly with the caffeine-filled drink. Red Bull should definitely take this concept into consideration and team up with Nintendo in the future!
