"To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of the Super Mario Bros video game, SF's Union Square Nintendo Store is bringing in Mario this weekend, or rather, someone in a Mario mascot suit that you can take pictures with. The Chronicle reported Monday morning that Nintendo video game star character Mario will be visiting SF's Union Square Nintendo Store this weekend, on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons."
"CNet has a full lineup of all of Nintendo's 40th anniversary of Mario activities, which involve some new Mario-themed Switch and Switch 2 games, and the new Mario Tennis Fever coming in early 2026 (though I will go into Comic Book Guy voice and point out that Mario himself actually debuted in the arcade game Donkey Kong in 1981, which was 44 years ago)."
"Though this may result in some confusing Google search results for both Nintendo fans and weather-watchers, considering that something called Tropical Storm Mario may be hitting the Bay Area later this week. The Chronicle describes Saturday and Sunday's Mario photo-op as the first time fans in the Bay Area will have the chance to meet him in person. But what is not mentioned there is that Mario already came to the store when it opened this past May."
San Francisco's Union Square Nintendo Store will host a Mario mascot for fan photo-ops on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Appearances are scheduled from 1 to 5 pm Saturday and 12 to 4 pm Sunday, and photos are available on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system. A Tropical Storm Mario name may create confusing search results for Nintendo fans and weather-watchers. Nintendo marks the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros with new Mario-themed Switch and Switch 2 games and a lineup of events. Mario Tennis Fever is coming in early 2026. The Mario film releases April 3, 2026.
