They decided to bundle up their games, and sell them at bargain prices, with \"Mud Pies\" being one of these titles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mud Pies\" sold \u003cem\u003eextremely\u003c\/em\u003e poorly however, and a bunch of these game have likely just been destroyed... which is such a shame, because, oh man, what a curios collectible this is. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNot only did they get Mario's colors wrong, but they chose a name, that is now slang for literal sh*t. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo if you're looking for the most weird Mario collectible imaginable, this could be it! \u003cbr\u003eAnd even better; this is a sealed copy. \u003cbr\u003eAt the time of writing, it's been a least 10 years since a boxed copy of these popped up on eBay, but a sealed one? Almost unheard of.
