Several issues of ''Nintendo Power'' have comics within them, many of which make references to the ''Super Mario'' franchise of games or related media. These comics revolve mostly around the character '''Nester''', who plays various Nintendo games along with other characters. Originally titled "Howard & Nester" (stylized as "Howard & <s>Nester</s> NESTER"), the comics followed both the character '''[[Howard Phillips]]''' (based on Nintendo of America's then main spokesman and co-editor of the magazine) and Nester as they played games and gave out tips. When the real Howard left Nintendo, his character was likewise retired from the strip, leading to the comics being retitled "Nester's Adventures", with the comics now following Nester and his friends for several issues. After a long hiatus, another unnamed comic was made for ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s 20th anniversary, which shows a grown-up Nester with an unnamed son. For ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s final issue, a comic called "Nester & Maxwell" (stylized as "Nester & <s>Maxwell</s> MAX") was done as a callback to the original comic series where Nester and his son '''Maxwell''' talk about ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s past. | Several issues of ''Nintendo Power'' have comics within them, many of which make references to the ''Super Mario'' franchise of games or related media.

|The final comic shows Nester reading the final issue of ''Nintendo Power'' in a room with many ''Nintendo Power''-related posters and merchandise, including a poster about ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and the clay models of [[Mario]] and [[Wart]] that was used for the first issue. In the second-to-last panel, Nester's son, Maxwell, invites him to play ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', to which Nester asks his son to create platforms to help him over difficult pits. | |The final comic shows Nester reading the final issue of ''Nintendo Power'' in a room with many ''Nintendo Power''-related posters and merchandise, including a poster about ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and the clay models of [[Mario]] and [[Wart]] that was used for the first issue.
