Okay, so this is a cool collab. Nintendo has teamed up with the airline JetBlue to launch into the skies an Airbus A320 bedecked in a Super Mario livery and, as you can see from the photos, yes, it’s super cool.
No self-respecting Mario fan is not going to want to fly on the new aircraft – named the ‘Cloudtop Cruiser’ according to a JetBlue press release today.
The release states, “JetBlue has long designed special liveries to honor the people, places, and partnerships that make up its DNA. Now, the airline is welcoming Nintendo into its fleet. At JetBlue, fun is a key value and part of the travel experience as the airline brings more “Let’s-a go!” energy to customers and crewmembers.“
As well as the Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi and Donkey Kong adorning the sides of the plane, everybody’s favourite plumber also features heavily inside the fuselage as well, with a Mario-themed Welcome Screen on the seatback entertainment units.
This is not the first time JetBlue have worked with Nintendo – last year they had a Mario Meet-and-Greet and New York’s JFK airport with a “Nintendo Switch On The Go” pop-up installation.
If you want to try and plane spot the Cloudtop Cruiser for yourself, it’s tail number is N561JB, so you can hunt it down in an app such as Flight Rader or Flight Tracker.
