Quick Answer
Mario Question Box Sours are coin-shaped tart candies packed in a tin shaped like the iconic ? Block from the games. They offer a nostalgic look and a sour-sweet flavor, but the tin is small and the candy is gone fast.
Why the Question Box Tin Is a Collector's Item
The Mario Question Box Sours tin is a near-exact replica of the ? Blocks Mario hits for coins and power-ups. It's small enough to fit in your palm and looks great on a desk or shelf. The novelty factor is high, but the tin holds only 1.2 oz of candy, so it's more of a collectible than a candy stash.
How It Compares to Other Retro Game Candies
Stone Age Gamer also carries Super Nintendo Controller Wired Berry Sours and Super Mario Brick Breakin' Candy. The controller tin is larger and shaped like a vintage SNES pad, while the Brick Breakin' tin features Mario's face. Each offers a different shape and candy type: berry sours in the controller, berry tarts in the brick tin. The Question Box is the most iconic shape, but the candy is gone quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flavor are Mario Question Box Sours?
The candy is described as coin-shaped sours, but the exact flavor is not specified on the packaging. Expect a generic sour-tart taste similar to other coin-shaped candies.
How much candy is in the tin?
The tin contains 1.2 oz (about 34 grams) of candy. That's roughly a handful of small coin-shaped pieces. It's a novelty size, not a full candy bag. If you want more candy, consider the Super Nintendo Controller Wired Berry Sours (also 1.2 oz but larger pieces) or a standard candy pack.
Can I reuse the tin after the candy is gone?
Yes. The tin is sturdy and the lid fits snugly. You can store small items like coins, earrings, or game cartridges. It makes a great display piece on a shelf.
Is this candy suitable for children?
The candy is hard and small, so it poses a choking hazard for very young children. The tin itself has small parts. It's best for ages 6 and up.
Product Facts

Mario Question Box Sours: Nintendo's fan-favorite mascot Mario has ventured through many side-scrolling worlds, in search of magical coins - on the ground, inside bushes, on floating boxes, hiding in clouds. You don't have to search high and low like Mario to find those coins; you just need to get the Super Mario Bros. Coin Candy Tins. These tins, shaped like the boxes seen in the Mario games, contain a wealth of coin-shaped candies. The tin is a faithful replica of the in-game ? Block, making it a fun display piece, but the coin-shaped candies are small and the 1.2 oz serving is modest.
