Mobile Game Mario Kart Tours is Going Down    On July 8th of 2026 Nintendo tweeted out that they will be shutting down Mario Kart World Tour! After 7 years this game will be coming to an end. All the money people put into this game will be going down the drain. Just to think last week I was thinking of downloading this game! Service for the Mario Kart Tour game ends on Sept. 29 at 11:00 p.m. PT / Sept. 30 at 8:00 a.m. CEST. Thank you for your support throughout the years. For info on how rubies and the Mario Kart Tour Gold Pass will be handled moving forward, see in-game notifications or FAQ below. — Mario Kart Tour (@mariokarttourEN) July 8, 2026       This shutdown is outrageous, I mean like think about all the people who spent numerous of dollars on this game. This game has made over 200 million dollars according to Sensor Tower. Just to think this game has no ads so the only way Nintendo was able to make money off this game was by people paying for in-game i...

 Mario Kart Gets New Races!    After a whole entire year since Mario Kart World's release, we finally get new racing routes! In this free update we got two new racing routes for the Knockout Tours! But that's not all we got; we also got a new update for the photo mode! New Routes!    So far, we have gotten two new routes; the Drill Rally and the Boomerang Rally! These routes are for the Knockout tour mode. If you're not happy with only two new routes and think that they should've added more. Don't fear because we have confirmation that in the future, we will be getting at least six more routes! We have no idea what the future routes are or what courses will be featured in the newer routes. Drill Rally    This rally is a knockout tour race that features the drill mushroom from Mario Wonder as its racing emblem. This race starts from Wario's Shipyard and ends at Bowser's Castle. This route also has one of my personal favorites; DK pass! There is also Dry...

  Bobby is Back!    Do you miss Bobby from Mario and the Origami King? Well, I do Bobby was a great dude. Nintendo needs to bring him back somehow, and they did! If you pay attention to the Mario Galaxy Movie you may be able to see Bobby at 42:45. When Peach and Toad are chasing Ukiki you can see Bobby for a split second.      If you look at the picture you can see Bobby who is at a stall trying to buy something while Princess peach deflects a bomb. As you can see this bomb-omb has no fuse just like Bobby! Bobby could come back to the Mario franchise perfectly because Bobby died in Paper Mario, but not in a Mario game! If you did not know Paper Mario and Mario are two separate beings in separate dimensions! Tell me if you think Bobby will make a comeback in a future Mario game in the comments below.

 Mario Galaxy Got a Brand-New Chapter!    If you thought Nintendo was done with the Super Mario Galaxy lore you thought wrong! Nintendo just dropped a brand-new update for the Switch version of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game! What Is so Great About This Update?    This update just added a brand-new chapter to the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game! This is now again adding more lore to the Super Mario Galaxy universe! I haven't completed the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game yet, but now I will have to buy it and read this new chapter after playing Tomodachi Life for a while! How to Unlock This Chapter    To unlock this chapter, you need to finish the Mario Galaxy 2 game first because this is an epilogue. If you have already finished the game all you need to do is complete another level in the Galaxy 2 game. If the Mario Galaxy 2 book is white that is how you know you have the epilogue! Tell me if this new chapter is worth it to go back and read in the comments without ...

Why You Must Collect All 40 Mario Galaxy Cards    When we got the final trailer for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo Today got digital collectable cards! These digital cards are little collectable cards that have Mario characters/items! You can get these cards by logging into the Nintendo Today app daily. What makes these cards so special is that when you click onto them you can scroll down and see little videos about that item or character. These videos are short little videos that cover the debut of the item or character and other games that item or character have been in! If the character is a main character in the Super Mario Galaxy movie there will be a short special video of that character's actor sharing a little memory about Nintendo! Why Should I Collect all 40 Cards    The reason why you should collect all 40 cards in the Nintendo Today app is because when you collect all of them you get a special wallpaper! Trust me the wallpaper you get is really go...

Could The Mario Movies Change Odyssey's Ending?   Spoiler Warning for Mario Odyssey    We got a little look at  Peach's Birthday  scene and for her birthday she got a parasol. You may be wondering whom is that parasol from, it's from non-other than Mario himself! Mario tried really hard to get this parasol because it's from New York! In this scene Mario jokes around with Peach and then Peach gives Mario a little punch on the shoulder. I mean like would you punch someone you didn't feel "close," with? This changes the whole entire meaning of her parasol from VARIOUS games! Is Peach and Mario More Than "Good Friends?"    Just think about it why would Peach get so excited over a parasol? I mean like the whole entire kingdom has probably given her gifts, but when Mario gives her a gift, she gets excited. You also have to think why does she take this parasol everywhere? Why did Mario give her a parasol with a heart at the end if they are just "Go...

Is Princess Peach & Rosalina Sister?     British Board for Film classification has given Mario Galaxy a PG rating for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and you may be wondering "why is this important to this theory?" It is because in the movie rating in the theme section it says, " Infrequent very mild upsetting scenes include flashbacks to a family separation." This may have confirmed this theory, and if you have been listening to my podcast or answering my polls in Spotify you know that I have been throwing around this theory for a while. Princess Peach's Ogrins & similarities to Rosalina!    In the Super Mario Movie there is a scene where Peach is talking to Mario about how there are so many galaxies out there and how she does not know where she is from! If you look closely at Peach when she is a baby in the super Mario movie, she is wearing a skirt that has stars and moons. You may be thinking "this is just a normal thing kids wear," but not in...

 Yoshi & the Mysterious Book Release Date    Yoshi and the Mysterious book has finally got a release date! We also got a couple new reveals for the game! What Is Yoshi & the Mysterious Books    Yoshi and the Mysterious book is a platformer game you explore different  2D levels inside a book named Mr. Encyclopedia or Mr. E for short, who fell out of the sky. In these levels you find different creatures that you can experiment with and discover what they do. For example, you can find a flower and eat if and find out what it tastes like, or you can bring that flower to a field of grass, and it will make flowers bloom in the grass field!    This game does not seem like the tradition 2D platformer because you are exploring different levels that seem to have no end point other than discovering all of the experiments in a level. This is kind of a game where you are a scientist/explorer discovering new creatures and testing experiments with you ne...
