# Geeky Gamer Treats Super Mario Starman Candy Will Delight Fans Who Have a Sweet Tooth By Matt Ho | Published 2011-04-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-mario-starman-candy References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2011/04/11/super-mario-starman-candy/) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QXW4SQ?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&linkCode=shr&camp=213733&creative=393177&tag=trenhunt0f-20) Fans of Super Mario who have a sweet tooth will love the Super Mario Starman Candy. The case is shaped exactly like the invincibility item from the game and contains small tasty candy in the same shape. If this one doesn't suit your taste, there's always the mushroom head that also comes with its own set of candy. Even if you're not really a fan of candy, the purchase is worth keeping tin cans the themselves. It's a pretty neat collector's item for those who are Super Mario-obsessed. The Super Mario Starman Candy is available for purchase at Amazon.com (just make sure your kids don't expect the starman to really turn them into invincible beings and that they don't expect the mushroom to actually make them taller). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gamer-themed Candy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of candy inspired by popular video game franchises to target gamers and fans. - **Collectible Tin Cans:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design unique and visually appealing tin cans for packaging products, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts. - **Nostalgic Gaming Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a range of merchandise that taps into popular retro gaming franchises, targeting nostalgic gamers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Candy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate popular media franchises into candy products, creating unique offerings for consumers. - **Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative and visually appealing packaging solutions for products, targeting collectors and enthusiasts. - **Gaming Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the growing market for gaming merchandise by offering unique and nostalgic products that appeal to gamers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gaming Star Toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincibility-star.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-mario-bros-wonder-1.md) - [Video Game-Themed Candy Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hershey-company-and-nintendo.md) - [Expansive Gamer Treat Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baskinrobbins-super-mario-menu.md) - [Gaming-Themed Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolli-x-xbox.md) - [Nostalgic Gaming Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-x-super-mario.md) - [Video Game-Themed Chocolate Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-and-godiva.md) - [Video Game Travel Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-super-mario-travel-items.md) - [Video Game-Themed Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-infused-hot-sauces.md)
