New Super Mario Bros. Wii Nintendo (2009)



New Super Mario Bros. Wii, released by Nintendo in 2009, is a side-scrolling platformer that revitalizes the classic Mario formula for multiplayer gameplay. Unlike earlier 2D Mario titles, it allows up to four players to simultaneously navigate vibrant, detailed worlds, working together—or competing—to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser and his Koopalings. The game introduces new power-ups, such as the Propeller Mushroom and Ice Flower, along with cooperative mechanics like stacking and assisting each other through obstacles. Its levels blend nostalgic elements from the original Super Mario Bros. series with inventive new designs, secret areas, and dynamic challenges, making it both a nod to longtime fans and a fresh, engaging experience for new players. The game was critically acclaimed for its fun multiplayer, inventive level design, and balance of accessibility and challenge.

Tamagotchi Lovelin Stamper McDonald’s Bandai-Wiz (2009)



The Tamagotchi Lovelin Stamper McDonald’s was a small promotional toy released as part of the Tamagotchi Happy Meal series produced by Bandai and WiZ in 2009. The toy tied in with the debut of the Tamagotchi! anime, which began airing in Japan that same year, helping renew interest in the long-running digital-pet franchise. The Lovelin’ Stamper featured the idol character Lovelin and included a built-in stamp mechanism so children could press the toy onto paper to leave a character imprint, combining simple stationery play with collectible character design. It was one of several Tamagotchi-themed Happy Meal toys in the set—alongside vehicles, stickers, and interactive figures—and while first released in Japan in 2009, the promotion later appeared in other Asian markets, including the Philippines around early 2010.

Smucker’s Goober Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Stripes (2009)



Smucker’s Goober Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Stripes is a classic U.S. grocery product by The J.M. Smucker Co. that combines creamy peanut butter and strawberry jelly into visually appealing vertical stripes inside one 18-ounce jar, so you get both spreads together without needing separate jars. Designed to simplify making peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, it’s a kid-friendly, shelf-stable spread also used in cookies, dessert bars, or milkshakes, and many consumers enjoy its convenience and nostalgic appeal. A typical 56 g (about 3 Tbsp) serving has around 220 calories, with fats, sugars, and protein similar to standard peanut butter and jelly combinations, and contains peanuts and sweetened fruit ingredients. The Goober brand itself dates back to the late 1960s as an innovative way to merge two favorite sandwich components into one jar.
