When I heard a community saying that the Super Mario Mash-up Pack was made to Marketplace, I was so excited and surfed around the Super Mario Mash-up Pack in the Marketplace catalog web, I thought my dream (that is having the mash-up pack be officially usable on my PC and mobile devices) would finally come true, and it maybe in par to the Minecraft’s motive, but after a while, trying to access the Super Mario Mash-up Pack in the Marketplace catalog web leads to an error, however the creator page does not have the mash-up pack hidden when that page (item listing, the Super Mario Mash-up Pack) became broken.
Steps to reproduce:
Go to Minecraft (the creator, or publisher, not the game) from Marketplace catalog web https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/marketplace/creator/minecraft
Search for “Mario Mash-up”
If possible, select the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack
Expected result: As the Super Mario Mash-up Pack page is broken (not accessible) (for now), it should also be hidden from the creator page until the mash-up pack page is no longer broken (accessible) again.
Observed result (see “I was so excited to see this.png“): It yields a result, but the Super Mario Mash-up Pack itself is inaccessible, as it is broken, trying to access it simply leads to an error.
Note: Only affects English (US) for mine. For me, the Super Mario Mash-up Pack is the most ported mash-up pack (all thanks to extreme exclusivity), so to get the Super Mario Mash-up Pack on devices you like, if the developers continue gate-keeping it, you’ll need to download the community ports.
Suggested solution: Hide the Super Mario Mash-up Pack first, then when the Super Mario Mash-up Pack becomes available on PC and mobile, unhide the Super Mario Mash-up Pack in the catalog.

Do note that this bug is like setting up a trap to other kinds of people who want experiences to be in par of some other kind. But I don’t think the developers do this with an intent of trapping players of other platforms.
The reason why the “suggested solution” being weird like “Hide the Super Mario Mash-up Pack first…“ instead of “Make the Super Mario Mash-up Pack be actually available on other platforms” is that I don’t think today was the day, even though I kinda want the latter to be one, as I didn’t see any announcements / trailer from official channels. The timing might not make sense, as I expect this to be available on Minecraft Live this month, or before Minecraft for Switch 2’s release.
Based of Super Mario Mash-Up Pack | Minecraft , it yielded neither result from this issue, as it is now re-listed, so I think this issue is invalid.
But the mash-up pack can’t be found in the Marketplace catalog on Minecraft for Windows, or even Minecraft for Switch 1 (though the mash-up pack can still be found in Create new world screen on Switch 1, much like the community port on my PC), Off-topic, attempting to claim the mash-up pack in the catalog web above yields an error.
Request to reopen: this issue can now be reproduced
