I usually don’t post my articles here. But let’s make an exception. @jrkyushu_senden_official started a collaboration with Nintendo today that’ll last until the end of June 2026. I am excited and probably have to adjust my annual trip to East Asia a bit. Two Shinkansen and one Series 885 will be in this Super Mario livery running through the Kyūshū region. Including the new super shiny Nishi-Kyūshū-Shinkansen to Nagasaki (February 2026). It might be even possible to take all three trains in a row. But we have to wait for the official schedule and even pictures. There are none. Just a few fake ones with the wrong train set. Additional pictures from my trip to Nagasaki a few months ago.
