JetBlue and Nintendo have debuted a new Airbus A320 Restyled aircraft covered in Super Mario Bros.-themed livery. Dubbed the Cloudtop Cruiser (a name that would totally befitting of a Mario game), the seatback entertainment touch screens will also feature Mario and friends on the welcome screens of each device. The friendly skies are a whole lot friendlier thanks to this collaboration.
