The first ''Super Mario'' font is an uneven sans-serif typeface designed by [[Nintendo]] in 1988. It is used for the logos and, later, interfaces of ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' to ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''.

Though mostly the same, a second version of the font was designed following the release of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', which would take over as the primary version from then on. It lacked a fully defined character set, which led to many different interpretations. In particular, the font does not have a consistent design for Japanese hiragana, katakana, or kanji. This remained the case for the font even after the overhaul, likely inciting the shift over to the modern ''Super Mario'' font.

Used in tandem with other fonts throughout the 2000's, it was fully replaced with the modern font with the release of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', being last seen on the logo for ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', albeit an [[list of Paper Mario: Sticker Star pre-release and unused content|early]] logo for ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' used a design partially based on this typeface before being changed to the modern ''Super Mario'' typeface for the final release.
