Super Mario Bros. Remastered has just been released on PC and it’s a fan made project that feels like a full blown celebration of Mario’s 1985 debut. Available for free on Windows, Linux and even Steam Deck, the game requires an original NES ROM to run, a clever move to sidestep legal trouble from Nintendo’s watchful eye, or so the dev thinks.
Nintendo and Illumination just dropped the trailer for the sequel to their hit Super Mario Bros. Movie and it’s got enough to keep fans talking for months. Announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, the film is titled The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and takes Mario and the gang into uncharted cosmic territory.
Super Mario 64, released in 1996, is a nostalgic classic for many, but there’s a shocking truth beneath the surface: the game is memory hungry. Thanks to the work of modder Kaze Emanuar, we get to see how this legendary Nintendo 64 game used its 4 megabytes of RAM in ways that were, at times, surprisingly wasteful.
Nintendo has always been able to make Mario feel like an old friend and their latest initiative, It’s Me, Mario! Stop Motion Shorts, does just that in a new and familiar way. This series of one minute stop motion animations is part of the My Mario campaign which includes toys, clothing and apps for young children and their families.
Super Mario Bros. Remastered, a fan made PC remake of the 1985 NES classic by YouTube creator JoeMama, releases on September 13, 2025. This lovingly crafted project adds updated graphics, refined gameplay and new features while staying true to the original.
Mario’s journeys have always been timeless and a new fan made project rekindles that magic with style. YouTube creator Syrus212 has rebuilt the Gateway Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy in Unreal Engine 5 and is offering a free PC tech demo that adds modern visuals.

VB Mario Land, also known as Mario Adventure by some, was a planned but canceled platformer for Nintendo’s Virtual Boy, a short-lived 1995 console that aimed to deliver stereoscopic 3D gaming with its signature red-and-black visuals.
Nintendo’s Mario Kart World Direct today was essentially a 15-minute showcase focused on the upcoming Switch 2 exclusive, set to launch on June 5, 2025. For the first time in the series, Mario Kart World features a vast, interconnected world where courses are linked by roads. Players can drive between tracks, especially in Grand Prix mode, where you navigate from one course to the next as part of the experience.
Mario Kart World is the next installment in the franchise, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike previous games that stuck to traditional track-based racing, this one introduces a vast, interconnected open-world environment.
