Unlicensed developers and fans have created unofficial media relating to the Mario franchise. Such media have included video games, ROM hacks, and animations.

Due in-part to the franchise's popularity, some of these unlicensed works have received critical attention. In September 2016, Nintendo issued over 500 DMCA takedown requests for various fan games based on their intellectual properties. Template:Failed verification span[1]

Video games[]

Console games[]

Several unofficial, and unlicensed, Mario games and game mods have been released for various video game consoles.

Level editors[]

There exist several unofficial level editors created to allow users with no programming skills to easily make their own levels or ROM hacks.

  • Super Mario Bros. X is a fangame blending elements from Super Mario Bros., Bros. 2, Bros. 3 and World, and includes both a level editor, as well simultaneous split-screen multiplayer.[35][36][37]
  • NSMB Editor is a level editor for New Super Mario Bros.[38][39]
  • CoinKiller is a level editor for New Super Mario Bros. 2.[40]
  • Super Mario ReMaker is a Windows-based level editor designed to replicate the Wii U title Super Mario Maker on computers.[41][42]
  • Toad's Tool 64 is a level editor for Super Mario 64 developed by Qubed Studios.[43]
  • Mario Builder 64 is a Super Mario 64 level editor developed by Arthurtilly and Robotronic, which allows users to share their created levels and is capable of running on actual Nintendo 64 hardware.[44][45][46]

Computer games[]

Unofficial Mario games playable on computers have consisted mostly of browser-based games. Such games either can be parodies or fangames that feature the franchise's characters or settings reimagined within the style of other media, or vice-versa.

Videos and series[]

  • Super Hornio Brothers and Super Hornio Brothers II are two 1993 pornographic parodies of the Super Mario franchise,released at the same time as the official Super Mario Bros. film. Both films star Buck Adams, T. T. Boy, Ron Jeremy and Chelsea Lynx as the main characters. Nintendo bought the rights to the films to halt their distribution.[85]
  • Super Mario Clouds (2002), Totally Fucked (2003), and Super Mario Movie (2005), are videos created by post-conceptual artist Cory Arcangel by modifying Super Mario Bros. NES cartridges. These works have been presented in multiple museums.
  • Super Mario Bros. Z (2006–2012; 2016–present) – A sprite animated series created by Mark Haynes that originally used Adobe Flash. It is a crossover between the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog franchises known for dynamic, fast-paced movement and story elements inspired by Dragon Ball Z.[86][87] Eight episodes would be completed and released on Newgrounds between 2006 and 2012, before its cancellation was announced. A reboot of the series was launched in 2016 on Haynes' YouTube channel. The first episode of the rebooted series would be removed after Nintendo filed a DMCA notice and took down the series' Patreon account; the episode would be re-uploaded in 2020.[88][89] The series is referenced in the official comic miniseries Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island, in which Mecha Sonic says the same line by the same character within the series.[90]
  • Mario: Game Over (2007) – A short-film created by POYKPAC. The video depicts Mario's life after breaking up with Princess Peach. The video was nominated for "Best Comedy Video" in the 2008 YouTube Awards, but lost to Potter Puppet Pals.[91]
  • Mario Kart (2008) – A viral video by prankster Rémi Gaillard, which depicts him driving a go-cart through public streets while dressed as Mario. He later did a similar prank in 2011.[92]
  • Mario Kart: The Movie (2009) – A fan-made trailer created by DrCoolSex that was loosely based on the Mario Kart series.[93][94]
  • Real Life Mario Kart (2011) – A viral video by filmmaker Freddie Wong.[95]
  • Mario Warfare (2012–2015) – Created by Micah Moore, the project parodies both Super Mario and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as Mario must rescue Princess Peach from the dictator Bowser in the midst of a hostile revolution.[96]
  • SMG4 (2011–present) – A machinima web series created by Australian YouTuber and animator Luke Lerdwichagul. Named after the initials for Lerdwichagul's YouTube channel and username, Supermarioglitchy4, the series consists mainly of pop-culture parodies.[97] Lerdwichagul's channel was created in 2009, while he was 9 years old. He would begin uploading content in 2011, primarily creating comedic videos using recorded game footage from Super Mario 64 edited in Windows Movie Maker.[98] The series originally focused on characters from the Mario franchise, as well as other Nintendo-owned IP, before gradually introducing original characters.
  • Racist Mario (2014) – A flash-animated short on YouTube that was created by Flashgitz. The video depicts Mario violently eliminating his opponents in Mario Kart.[99][100][101] There are also characters from non-Nintendo-and-Sega games such as God of War's Kratos and LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy.
  • The Mama Luigi Project (2017) – A project where over 227 animators reanimated the internet-famous Super Mario World episode "Mama Luigi", where over 255 split scenes were recreated in unique animation styles. The video was dedicated to the memories of both Canadian actor Tony Rosato, who voiced Luigi, and Canadian actor Harvey Atkin, who voiced King Koopa, both passing away before the project's completion.[102]
  • Wario (2021) – Created by SNL, "Wario", detailing the premise of Wario (played by Elon Musk) being held in trial for the death of Mario in a racing accident, had been ridiculed and received backlash for its poor quality alongside the fact that Elon Musk had made an appearance in the show.[103][104]

Fandom[]

In the late 2000s, YouTube Poop meme videos arose using cutscenes from various Mario-related sources, including the Philips CD-i game Hotel Mario,[105][106] The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, and Super Mario World.

After the release of Mario Kart 8 in 2014, a short clip featuring "Luigi's Death Stare" went viral; the original clip featured Luigi passing other drivers with an uncharacteristically angry facial pose set to the music of Chamillionaire's 2006 hit song Ridin'.[107][108][109] The meme was referenced by Nintendo itself during their E3 2014 presentation.[110]

Several Mario characters have become prominent memes, such as Waluigi, who has garnered an online fanbase as a meme to the point of outcry to be added to the fighting game series Super Smash Bros. as well as backlash for his lack of inclusion in the series.[111]

In September 2018, a fanmade character called Bowsette became popular and had hundreds of artists producing fanart. Bowsette is a depiction of Bowser using Toadette's Super Crown power-up from New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe to transform himself into a Princess Peach lookalike.[112]

"Mario dies" internet meme[]

On September 3rd, Nintendo announced via Nintendo Direct the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary, an event celebrating the release of Super Mario Bros. in 1985. Various games were released and merchandise collaborations were held. Among the games released were: Super Mario Bros. 35, a derivative of the original Super Mario Bros. with battle royale elements; Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., an LCD handheld replica of Super Mario Bros. in the Game & Watch line; and Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a compilation game of a selection of 3D games from the Super Mario series, including Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.[113] Over the course of the celebration Nintendo announced the discontinuation of several products associated with the event on March 31, 2021, including Super Mario Bros. 35, Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario 3D All-Stars.[114] Other products relating to the Mario franchise were also being discontinued that same day, including merchandise sold at Nintendo's story in Tokyo, Japan, the shutting down of online services for the 2015 game Super Mario Maker,[115] and the removal of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 from Netflix.[116]

The discontinuation of many Mario-related products was never officially explained by Nintendo,[117][118] although Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser explained that the decision was made to keep them unique to the anniversary celebration itself.[119][120] In the lack of an official explanation, many fans ironically interpreted that it was because the character Mario was to die on that day,[117][118] or the day after.[121] Instances of the meme began months before the date.[122] It evolved over time, originally warning fans that Mario's death was approaching and counting down the days until March 31. On the day of the discontinuation itself, Mario's death was mourned by fans.[123] March 31 was declared "Mario Death Day".[124]

On March 31, "Mario" was trending on Twitter,"[124] receiving 150,000 tweets relating to the meme within 24 hours.[116] Select video game news websites satirically presented the death of Mario as fact, including VentureBeat and iMore.[125][126] Notable participation included American TV network G4 and YouTube personality Nathaniel Bandy, which led to a wave of memorials from users.[116]
