Super Stan, inspired by the Nintendo megahit Super Mario Bros, was created to educate customers around the breadth and depth of the TFG eMall, in the run up to its Shop Hop sale day, which will showcase the many stores and products available through the website.
The aim of the game is to navigate Stan on a mission to grab as much merchandise from as many stores as he can. Evil shopping trolleys have to be avoided, and jumping the queue at the end completes the game. Super Stan is a cool and quirky reference to the benefits of online shopping, where customers can avoid crowds, trolleys, and queues.
As incentive to play, shoppers can win prizes ranging from tech to online gift vouchers upon completion of the game.

The Shop Hop sale takes place on Friday, 9 September, and shoppers can access substantial discounts across multiple stores in the TFG eMall, with checkout taking place in one bag.
A further incentive to cross-shop – if shoppers add products from three or more different stores to their cart – shoppers are entered into another prize draw to win Nespresso coffee machines or Samsung smart phones.
The TFG eMall now hosts 11 linked stores, with Foschini For Beauty – TFG’s cosmetic retail site – joining this week. Online stores taking part in the Shop Hop include @home, Duesouth, Duesouth Escapes, Fabiani, hi, Markham, Relay Jeans, Sportscene, and Totalsports.
All store account cardholders can use their store cards, as well as credit cards to make purchases. SnapScan and eGift cards as alternative payment solutions will be added soon.
