Summary
A new leak suggests thatFortnitemay get a crossover withSuper Mario. Over the years,Fortnitehas built a universe of its own, with popular characters like Peely and Fishstick. But the battle royale has also become a game with one of the most impressive lists of collaborations.
These collabs cover films, anime, TV series, comics, music personalities, sports, and influencers. When it comes to the gaming world,Fortnitehas teamed up with a variety of popular IPs, such asStreet Fighter,League of Legends,Gears of War, and even acrossover withAssassin’s Creed. With these, Epic Games' battle royale has added well-known and beloved characters such as Ryu, Chun-li, Jinx, and Ezio Auditore, making the experience even more engaging. Despite this, a much-loved name remains absent from the game.
However, a newFortniteleak suggests the game may get a crossover withSuper Mario.Shared by well-known leaker iFireMonkey on Twitter, they reported the discovery of a random flipbook asset for a type of cosmetic vehicle whose form is that of the iconicSuper Marioquestion block. Although the leak doesn’t reveal much information beyond that, iFireMonkey notes that the file is named “MC box,” with replies to the tweet considering names like “Mario coin box.” The question block is one of several types of block that exist in theMariofranchise, and which rewards the player with an item, this often being a coin.
Fortnite Leak Suggests Potential Collaboration with Super Mario
Most of the comments on the tweet reacted positively to the possibility of a crossover withSuper Mario. Other players have expressed their hopes that the devs could add a mode inspired by the popularMario Kartseries. Other comments sounded more cautious about the finding, arguing that “more certainly” the block in question is a placeholder for something related toRocket Racing. It’s important to note, however, thatRocket Racingwill no longer receive major updates, reducing the chances of the leak being related to the mode that mixesFortniteandRocket League.
As usual, leaks should be considered cautiously, as information can change or not come to fruition. It’s also important to note another detail, which is the family-friendly orientation of Nintendo and its games, which could make a potential crossover difficult,though Epic Games has tried to negotiate before. Only time will tell if this leak is just a random discovery, or if there’s a chance that it could turn into a full-fledged crossover.
