Together with the Mario suit that can be acquired by redeeming 250 My Nintendo Platinum points, users can have fun in Miitomo with a full Mario outfit.

Additionally, The Legend of Zelda collaboration that began on 14th June is currently underway in Miitomo. Players have a chance to get The Legend of Zelda-themed collaboration items as a prize in the minigame Miitomo Drop or purchase such items using Miitomo coins.
