Super Mario Blog
Characters, games, kingdoms, power-ups and collectibles: 562 articles to explore every corner of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Dive into the complete Super Mario universe
Whether you have followed Mario since the NES, have a soft spot for Luigi, a fascination with Bowser or unwavering loyalty to Yoshi, you are in the right place. This blog tells the story of the Mushroom Kingdom characters, from the headliners to the most obscure faces, breaks down the Nintendo games from Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and maps the kingdoms and locations of the saga, from Peach’s Castle to Isle Delfino.
You will also find everything you pick up along the way: the power-ups and items that define the series — Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, Super Star, Ice Flower, Cape Feather — and the great spin-off series: Mario Kart, the RPGs (Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, Super Mario RPG), Luigi’s Mansion and Donkey Kong.
And because being a fan is also a matter of collecting, every feature links back to the shop: plush toys, figures, LEGO, T-shirts, costumes and home decor, with gift ideas and buying guides to help you choose.
