Gold and silver Mario Amiibos spotted on Nintendo website

Nintendo looks to be taking a leaf out of its toys-to-life competitor’s books by releasing variants of its existing Amiibo figures.

Neogaf users perusing a product safety certification page posted to Nintendo’s website spotted that two of the links (both of which are now removed) led to images of a gold and silver version of the upcoming Smash Bros Mario Amiibo.

It’s not known when the figures will be released or how they will be made available, meaning it’s possible that they could be part of a promotion, although a general release could of course also be on the cards.

A new range of Super Smash Bros Amiibos including Toon Link and Lucario were released late last month and will be followed next month by a Mario part 10 range including Toad.
