With the Super Mario Bros. Movie ready to become one of the biggest video game films of all time, Nintendo isn't wasting the chance to roll out some extra merchandise to take advantage of Mario-mania. While the official action figures for the film are great--especially the Bowser toy--fans looking to spice up their Mushroom Kingdom collection will be happy to know that an official Mario hot sauce collection is now available. We haven't tried the Super Mario hot sauces, but Truff is well-known in the gourmet sauce scene. Please note: Whether or not these hot sauces will light your butt on fire depends on your propensity to let's-a-go to the toilet after consuming spicy foods.

　　This little bundle from Truff includes three bottles of sauce to sear your tastebuds with. Inspired by the film and retro games, each bottle includes a geometric-shaped cap and a label featuring a main character from the film. The trio of bottles are packaged in a collectible box that'll set you back $70.

　　Mario adorns the red "Hotter Sauce" bottle, Toad is the star of the original hot sauce bottle, and Princess Peach's container is not for the faint-hearted as her bottle contains the "White Hot" sauce. You might want to have a very big glass of milk nearby if you use her sauce on your food.

　　The entire collection has a fantastic visual design to it, and who knows, it might become a red-hot collectible item in the future. Although if you're reading this 20 years from now before you decide to spend some serious cash on those bottles, then it's probably safe to assume that the hot sauces inside of them have long since reached their expiration date.

　　Back in the present day, the Super Mario Bros. Movie is in theaters now and Blu-ray preorders are already open at Amazon. The film itself is colorful and has some great action sequences, earning it an 8/10 score in our review.

　　"The Super Mario Bros. Movie never feels reverent of the Mario IP, but it's also never disrespectful," wrote critic Phil Owen. "It's a spot that might not have worked if the film weren't so well put together--fortunately for us, though, The Super Mario Bros., could end up being one of the best big-budget action flicks of the year."
