But wait (I yell after several already retreating backs)! Before you rush off, the good news doesn’t stop there.
In addition to the digital Standard Edition, you’ll find two other digital versions available for pre-order: Deluxe Collection and Ultimate Collection. All versions include the Super Mario™ Mash-Up Pack with Vibrant Visuals*. But the Deluxe Edition jazzes it up by including three beloved add-ons: Celebration Food, Rescue Dogs, and Plenty O’Blocks; 3 exclusive Character Creator items; and 700 Minecoins**. The Ultimate Collection kicks it up another notch by including five essential add-ons: Celebration Food, Rescue Dogs, Plenty O’Blocks, as well as Decocraft and Weapons + Tools; five exclusive Character Creator items; and 1000 Minecoins**.
Adding adorable puppies, an expanded selection of decadent treats and plenty of new blocks for your builds to boot – what a way to kick off your Minecraft adventures on Nintendo Switch 2!
