The Mario media franchise extends out of video games into non-game media. Mario and themes related to the franchise have appeared in television shows, anime, films, comics and manga, merchandise, and musical performance.
Television
editSaturday Supercade is an animated television series produced for Saturday mornings by Ruby-Spears Productions. It ran for two seasons on CBS, beginning in 1983. Each episode comprised several shorter segments featuring video game characters from the Golden Age of Arcade Games. Donkey Kong, Mario and Pauline (from the Donkey Kong arcade game) were featured in the show.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is the first American TV series based on the Mario NES games. It was broadcast in syndication from September 4 to December 1, 1989. Based on Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2. The show was produced by DIC Entertainment and was distributed for syndicated television by Viacom Enterprises (full rights have since reverted to DiC through Nintendo).
King Koopa's Kool Kartoons is a live action children's television show broadcast in Southern California during the holiday season of 1989/1990. The show starred King Koopa (also known as Bowser), the main antagonist of the Mario series. The 30-minute program was originally broadcast during the after-school afternoon time-slots on Los Angeles-based KTTV Fox 11.[1]
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 is the second TV series based on the Mario NES games. It aired on NBC from September 8 to December 1, 1990. Based on the Super Mario Bros. 3 video game, the cartoon shows Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad fighting against Bowser and his Koopalings, who went by different names on the show. It was part of a 1-hour block with Captain N's second season, structured such that 2 episodes of Mario 3 would bookend the longer Captain N episode that made the "meat" of the sandwich.
The Super Mario Challenge is a game show which aired on The Children's Channel. It ran from 1990 to 1991 and aired at 4:30 p.m. every weekday. The presenter, John Lenahan, was a lookalike of Mario, and dressed in his clothes. Two guest players had to do tasks, all of which involved playing the Mario video games Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2 and, after its release in 1991, Super Mario Bros. 3. Rounds included challenges to see which player could complete a level in the fastest time and who could collect the most gold coins on a certain level.[2]
Super Mario World is an animated television series based on the SNES video game of the same name. It is the third and currently last Saturday morning cartoon based on the Mario series. The show was originally aired on Saturday mornings on NBC in the 1991–92 season. It was featured in a half-hour time slot with a shortened version of Captain N: The Game Master. Episodes of Super Mario World were later shown as part of the syndication package Captain N & The Video Game Masters. Afterwards, the series was split from Captain N altogether and shown in time-compressed reruns on Mario All-Stars.
Mario Ice Capades is a television special featuring a Mario-themed Ice Capades skating show, broadcast on ABC on December 28, 1989.[3] It starred Christopher Hewett as Bowser.[4][5][6] Jason Bateman and Alyssa Milano also appeared in the special.[4]
Films
editBowser and the Super Mushroom appeared in the 2012 Disney animated film Wreck-It Ralph; Mario is mentioned by Felix but not seen in the film. Mario's original arcade game appearance in Donkey Kong makes a cameo in the 2015 science fiction action comedy film Pixels.[7]
Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! (1986)
editSuper Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach![n 1] is a 1986 anime film based on the Super Mario Bros. video game. Directed by Masami Hata and produced by Masakatsu Suzuki and Tsunemasa Hatano, the plot centers on Mario and Luigi, who go on a quest to save Princess Peach from Bowser. It is notable for being the first film based on a video game, predating the live-action Super Mario Bros. film by seven years.
Super Mario Bros. (1993)
editSuper Mario Bros. is a 1993 American science-fiction comedy adventure fantasy film[8] based on the Japanese video game series of the same name by Nintendo and distributed by The Walt Disney Studios through Hollywood Pictures, thus becoming one of several rare occasions where Disney and Nintendo have collaborated. The film was directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, written by Parker Bennett, Terry Runté and Ed Solomon, and stars Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, Samantha Mathis, Fisher Stevens, Fiona Shaw and Richard Edson. The story revolves around the titular Mario brothers, as they find a parallel universe, ruled by the ruthless dictator King Koopa, who seeks to merge the two dimensions so that he can rule both worlds, leaving it up to Mario and Luigi to join forces with Princess Daisy, the daughter of the world's displaced King, to stop Koopa.
Super Mario Bros. was shot in both New York City and North Carolina on a budget of $48 million. The film was released on May 28, 1993, in the United States and was unsuccessful both critically and commercially, receiving criticism for its storyline, characters, dialogue and unfaithfulness to the games. Bob Hoskins later stated in an interview in 2007 that the film was "the worst thing I ever did".[9] However, the film was nominated for two Saturn Awards (one for Best Costume, the other for Best Make-up).
Years later, however, commentators called it a cult film,[10] and it has spawned a fan-made website,[11] a fan-made sequel comic,[12] and even a Blu-ray release in the United Kingdom.[13]
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
editThe Super Mario Bros. Movie is a 2023 animated film adaptation of the franchise, produced by Illumination and Nintendo and distributed by Universal Pictures. It is co-produced by Nintendo fellow and series' creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri.[14] The film stars the voices of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco as Foreman Spike; longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet features in a series of cameos.[15][16][17] In January 2020, Nintendo's President Shuntaro Furukawa stated that the film is "moving along smoothly" with the film aiming for release in 2023. Furukawa stated that Nintendo would own the rights to the film, and both Nintendo and Universal would fund the production of the film.[18] Meledandri called the film a "priority" for the Illumination animation studio.[19]
The film features an origin story for the brothers Mario and Luigi, Italian-American plumbers who are transported to an alternate world and become entangled in a battle between the Mushroom Kingdom, led by Princess Peach, and the Koopas, led by Bowser.
After the critical and commercial failure of the live-action film Super Mario Bros. (1993), Nintendo became reluctant to license its intellectual properties for film adaptations. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto became interested in developing another film, and through Nintendo's work with Universal Destinations & Experiences to create Super Nintendo World, he met with Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri. By 2016, the two were discussing a Mario film and, in January 2018, Nintendo announced that it would collaborate with Illumination and Universal to produce it. Production was underway by 2020, and the cast was announced in September 2021.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie was released in the United States on April 5, 2023. The film received mixed reviews from critics, though audience reception was more positive. The film has grossed over $1.360 billion worldwide, setting multiple box-office records, including the biggest worldwide opening weekend for an animated film and the highest-grossing film based on a video game. It also became the second highest-grossing film of 2023 and the sixth-highest-grossing animated film of all time.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)
editOn March 10, 2024, as part of Mario Day celebrations, Miyamoto and Meledandri officially announced "a new Super Mario Bros. movie", along with a release date of April 3, 2026 in the United States and more dates throughout April for other territories.[20] Horvath, Jelenic and Fogel will return as co-directors and screenwriter respectively; Meledandri stated that Illumination's team was in the process of storyboarding and "developing set designs for new environments."[20] The film stars Pratt, Joy, Day, Black, Michael Key and Richardson reprising their roles joined by the voices of Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr., Brie Larson as Princess Rosalina,[21] Donald Glover as Yoshi, Issa Rae as the Honey Queen, Luis Guzmán as Wart,[22] and Glen Powell as Fox McCloud.[23]
The film features Mario and his friends going on a journey to save the Galaxy from Bowser and his son Bowser Jr..
In October 2024, Keegan-Michael Key teased that the sequel will be "broader in scope" and feature "new folks and old favorites and some folks that [he thinks] are really deep cuts".[24] On May 13, 2025, the name of the sequel was revealed as Super Mario World in a press release released by NBCUniversal.[25] Later in September 2025, the name was confirmed to be The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.[26] The film was released in the United States on April 1, 2026.

Super Mario-kun [n 8] is a Japanese kodomo manga series written and illustrated by Yukio Sawada (沢田 ユキオ Sawada Yukio) and serialized in the monthly manga anthology CoroCoro Comic. Individual chapters are collected into tankōbon volumes by Shogakukan, who released the first volume on July 27, 1991,[78] and have released 60 volumes.[79] The series has been licensed in Japan; France, published by Soleil Manga;[80] and Spain, published by Planeta Comic.[81] It follows Mario and his friends through the plot lines of many Mario video games, starting in Super Mario World and reaching as far as Super Mario Odyssey. Courses created by Sawada for Super Mario Maker were released in November 2015, with a Super Mario-kun costume unlocked for players who clear them.[82]
Viz Media released the first English-language publication of CoroCoro's manga series in December 2020 under the title Super Mario Manga Mania.[83]
A second manga series of the same title written and drawn by Hiroshi Takase (嵩瀬ひろし) ran for five volumes on Shogagukan's Pikkapika Comics.[84] Because of the identical titles, Sawada's and Takase's series are easily confused.[citation needed]
A third manga series written and drawn by Kazuki Motoyama was published by Kodansha in Comic Bombom from 1988 to 1998.[85] The series is altogether called KC Mario by the public in Japan, as volumes are named after new Mario games at the time in place of a consistent title.[86] The series is substantially more well known by international audiences for its self-referential and subversively outrageous humor, with occasional use of innuendo not expected from a children's manga series; it also takes substantially more creative liberty than its contemporaries, introducing original characters and power-ups not seen in the games.[87] Luke Plunkett of Kotaku described the work as "a wild ride".[86]
Nintendo Comics System
editThe Nintendo Comics System was a series of comic books published by Valiant Comics in 1990 and 1991.[88] It features characters from Nintendo's video games and the animated series based on them.
Super Mario Adventures
editSuper Mario Adventures[89] is an anthology of comics that ran in Nintendo Power throughout 1992, featuring the characters from Nintendo's Mario series and based loosely on Super Mario World. The series was also serialized in CoroCoro Comic in 1993. Charlie Nozawa, the artist who created the comics,[90] is also known by the pen name Tamakichi Sakura.[91] Kentaro Takekuma was responsible for the story, which follows Mario and Luigi as they attempt to rescue Princess Peach (known as "Princess Toadstool" in the English comic) after she is abducted by Bowser with intent to marry her.
Gamebooks
editNintendo Gamebooks were gamebooks released in two series, Nintendo Adventure Books and You Decide on the Adventure, and based on video games created by Nintendo.
Electromechanical games
editNintendo has licensed several electromechanical games for use in arcades and casinos, including two popular pinball machines by Gottlieb. Super Mario Bros., released on April 25, 1992, was the first Gottlieb machine that included a dot-matrix display tracking scores and various animations. The game shared a lot of its art assets with Super Mario World released for SNES two years prior, and featured Craig Brolley as the voice of Mario.[92] 4,200 units were manufactured.[93][94][95][96] Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World released a few months later in June 1992, this time based on Super Mario Bros. 3 for NES. Only 519 units were produced, making it significantly rarer and more sought after by modern collectors.[93][97][98][99][100]
Other electromechanical games licensed by Nintendo include a Mario Kart 64 slot machine made by Maygay,[101] as well as a series of Mario Fushigi medal games made by Capcom. The Mario Fushigi series began in 2003 with Super Mario Fushigi no Janjan Land, then Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party in 2004, Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party 2 in 2005, and Mario Party Fushigi no Korokoro Catcher.[citation needed]
Merchandise
edit
Mario has appeared on lunch boxes, T-shirts, magazines, commercials (notably, in a Got Milk? commercial),[102] in candy form, on shampoo bottles, and as plush toys.[103] Multiple Mario-themed versions of popular board and card games have been released by USAopoly, including Monopoly,[104] TacDex Archived 2018-09-17 at the Wayback Machine,[105] and Connect 4.[106] Nintendo has also released in 2017 a puzzle featuring Mario.[107]
Events
editNational Mario Day is an annual celebration to commemorate Mario on March 10.[108][109][110] This date is chosen because "MAR 10" looks like the name MARIO.[111][112] Gamers can commemorate the occasion by playing games from the series, or with Mario-themed events, and coordinating on social media with the hashtag #NationalMarioDay.[113][114]
In 2014 the Christian Science Monitor advised parents that Mario Day was an opportunity to bond with their children, and listed Mario Day-themed events parents could take their children to, to encourage that bonding.[115] In 2016, Nintendo created a video about the event, where Mario caused chaos in their American offices;[116][117] and "brought some joy to the monotonous workday in the ways only Mario could."[116] Chad Concelmo of Destructoid appears in the video.[118]
In March 2013, Nintendo began the Year of Luigi. This included a year of Luigi-themed games like Dr. Luigi, Mario & Luigi Dream Team and New Super Luigi U. A Luigi's Mansion statue was released on Club Nintendo. On March 19, 2014, the Year of Luigi ended.[119]
In September 2020, Nintendo started the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary event, which lasted from September 3, 2020, to March 31, 2021. This event began with a Nintendo Direct which announced many games, as well as covering already released Mario themed merchandise, clothing and in game events.[120]
Theme parks
editSuper Nintendo World is a themed area within Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Epic Universe, and under construction for Universal Studios Singapore. The iterations of this area and its attractions are themed to the Super Mario franchise, as well as the Yoshi's Island spin-off series, and the Donkey Kong Country series.
Music
editThe Super Mario series of video games has a large amount of music, much of it composed by Koji Kondo. The "Super Mario Bros. theme" is particularly well-known.
The Super Mario Bros. theme has been featured in many concerts, including "PLAY! Chicago",[121] the Columbus Symphony Orchestra,[122] Play! A Video Game Symphony,[123] and others.
The Video Games Live concert featured the theme performed by Koji Kondo.[124]

Dave Zabriskie: That's fascinating!! The guy we hired I found through a company Voices Unlimited. It's not around any more. The woman who bought Voices and continued serving Chicago and Nationally was Linda Jack. She was AWESOME. We received back from a couple of auditions. Remember that the only way we could hear auditions back then was on cassette tape. The person we hired had nothing to do with Super Mario. He's one of the BEST voice talents I have worked with. He's the same person who did the voice-over work for Cactus Jack's. His name: Craig Brolley. He's done a zillion voice-overs and loves doing voices for games.
