To celebrate popular titles, Nintendo sometimes releases special-edition Switch consoles, like the recent Tears of the KingdomOLED Switch released in April 2023. This new OLED model features subtle — maybe a little too subtle — Mario accents.

From the front, there are no obvious signs that this is a Mario-themed Switch console. On the back, Nintendo has added a "silhouette design of Mario" leaping into the air. You can also find some hidden coins inside the console near the ports.
