To help celebrate their upcoming New Year, Japanese department store, Takashimaya, is celebrating in the most appropriate way… By making ginormous Nintendo Bento Boxes.

The tradition of osechi ryouri (お節料理), specially-prepared bento boxes for the holiday, will come in three-tiers. While most of the food included will be Mario and friends-themed, some actually has deeper meaning. Such as shrimp, which is hunched over, representing the elderly.

Although, powering up on this feast will not come cheap, 27,000 yen (US$225), it is meant to enjoy with family over the course of a few days. And, it comes with a set of cards.
