Candy Gives You Energy!

It’s not clear to me what is inside this Super Mario Bros.-themed candy. Whatever it is, it apparently has the power to give you energy.

Break open the crates like in the Super Mario Bros. games and find cool candies that will give you the energy burst you need!

Well then. Glad we cleared that up.
