'''{{wp|Aeon (company)|Aeon Co., Ltd.}}''', also stylized as '''AEON''' or '''ÆON''', is a Japanese retail company. Since 2023, [[Nintendo]] has collaborated with Aeon to create events promoting games in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].
The '''''Wii''''' series is composed of games mainly developed by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Wii|console of the same name]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo Switch]]. It encompasses games with different genres intended for a casual audience, such as sports, party, and fitness games.
{{br|toc=1}}


==''Super Mario''-related events==
Several games in the ''Wii'' series feature elements from, and references to, the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Likewise, the ''Super Mario'' franchise, most prominently the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], also features elements that originate from ''Wii'' series games.
===Quiz rallies===

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' (October 2023)====
 
[[File:SMBW Quiz Rally poster.jpg|thumb|Poster for the event]]
==Overview==
Starting October 21, 2023, a quiz rally took place at the video game sections of Japanese Aeon stores to promote ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.<ref name=SMBWprtimes>{{cite|date=October 19, 2023|author=イオン株式会社|url=https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000004038.000007505.html|title=【イオン限定】Nintendo Switchソフト「スーパーマリオブラザーズ ワンダー」クイズラリーを10月21日(土)に開催!※1)|publisher=PR TIMES|language=ja|accessdate=December 15, 2024|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20231026184335/https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000004038.000007505.html}}</ref> Participants had to wear a reversible [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] sun visor and answer three questions related to the game on posters around the store.<ref name=SMBWprtimes /> Each participant would receive a sticker at the end.<ref name=SMBWprtimes />
The ''Wii'' series does not have a consistent genre; instead, it includes various titles initially created with the [[Wii]] in mind that are designed to be played by anyone. The first games in the series to be developed were ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}'', ''{{wp|Wii Fit}}'', ''{{wp|Wii Play}}'', and ''{{wp|Wii Music}}'', which are a sports game, a fitness game, a minigame collection, and a music game, respectively. The series would later expand to more genres (like party with the ''{{iw|miiwiki|Wii Party (series)|Wii Party}}'' games, which have similar gameplay to that of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]) and continue into Nintendo's later consoles. The series would become popular amongst the casual audience, with ''Wii Sports'', the first game of the series to be released, surpassing ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the best-selling Nintendo game.
 
==Prominent crossover elements==
===Characters===
====Miis====
[[File:NSMBU Prerelease 4-Player Miis.jpg|thumb|Four Miis navigating a level in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'']]
{{main|Mii}}
'''Miis''' are digital avatars that have been used across many [[Nintendo]] consoles and services since the [[Wii]]. Since their introduction in ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}'', they have appeared as both playable and non-playable characters in various Nintendo games, including games in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. They are the most prominent characters of the ''Wii'' series, appearing in all of its games except ''{{wp|Wii Chess}}''. They are also the main characters in some games outside of the ''Wii'' series, like the {{iw|miiwiki|Tomodachi (series)|''Tomodachi'' series}}, ''{{wp|Miitopia}}'', and ''{{wp|StreetPass Mii Plaza}}''. Miis originate from a concept by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and were initially conceived to only be used for ''Wii Sports'' before it was decided to turn their {{iw|miiwiki|Mii Maker|creation software}} into a Wii Channel.<ref name=IwataAsksWiiSports>{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/wii_sports/0/1/|title=Iwata Asks - Wii Sports - Did Anyone Say It Should Look Realistic?|publisher=iwataasks.nintendo.com|accessdate=March 24, 2025|archive=web.archive.org/web/20240505162018/https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/wii_sports/0/1/}}</ref>
 
Due to their virtual avatar nature, this article does not include Mii appearances unrelated to the ''Wii'' series. For the history of Miis in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, see [[Mii#History|here]].
 
====Wii Fit Trainer====
[[File:WiiFitTrainer SSBDSWiiU.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]], [[Link]], and [[Kirby]] doing a yoga pose while the female Wii Fit Trainer watches, from her reveal trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'']]
{{main-wiki|miiwiki|Trainer|MiiWiki}}
The '''Wii Fit Trainer''', generically referred to as the '''trainer''' in the original games, is the exercise coach appearing in the {{iw|miiwiki|Wii Fit (series)|''Wii Fit'' series}}. They instruct and guide players through the games' {{iw|miiwiki|Yoga}} and Strength Training activities. Both female and male trainers appear, and players can choose to have their favorite trainer appear in the activities. They have white skin and wear differently-colored clothing depending on the activity, although they always wear green in ''{{wp|Wii Fit U}}''.
 
The Wii Fit Trainer appears as a fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The female Wii Fit Trainer also appears as a [[Mystery Mushroom]] costume in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and as a [[Wario's amiibo Sketch]] drawing in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.

In the ''Wii Fit'' series, it is the location of the running events, while in ''Wii Sports Resort'', it is the location of all sports except golf, which instead takes place on the nearby Wedge Island.

==History in the ''Wii'' series==
===''Wii Sports'' series===
====''Wii Sports''====
[[File:Wii Sports NSMB Castle.png|thumb|100px|The Hole 5 castle]]
In ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}'', the golf holes are taken directly from ''[[Golf]]''. The castle present in the background of Hole 5 is identical to the [[Castle]]s of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', without the flags and windows.
 
During the game's development, [[Mario]] was added as a playable character while the developers were deciding which characters to add, but he was removed because the developers felt like Mario was the one playing and they were just controlling him, instead of feeling like they were the ones playing the game.<ref name=IwataAsksWiiSports />
 
====''Wii Sports Resort''====
Similarly to the previous game, the golf holes in ''{{wp|Wii Sports Resort}}'' (known as "Resort" holes) are taken directly from ''[[Golf: Japan Course]]''; the golf holes from ''Wii Sports'' also return as "Classic" holes (as well as the castle in Hole 5). The countdown timer used at the start of the racing events sounds similar to the one used in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. In particular, the {{iw|miiwiki|Cycling}} event's timer sounds almost identical to the one used in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. In the {{iw|miiwiki|Air Sports|Island Flyover}} event, "[[Ground BGM (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground BGM]]", "[[Player Down]]", and "[[Game Over (theme)|Game Over]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' can be heard by flying near the Hillside Cabins area; the area's nighttime description reads: "Sounds like someone's playing [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], but they need a few pointers..." When playing the same event at night, the description of the Mysterious Ancient Ruins in the PAL version states that skeletons were found in a pit along with shells, possibly referencing [[Dry Bones]]. Additionally, the name of the ship "The Queen Peach" may be a reference to [[Princess Peach]].
 
====''Wii Sports Club''====
Both Classic and Resort golf holes return in the [[Wii U]] remake of ''Wii Sports'', ''{{wp|Wii Sports Club}}''. The castle in Classic Hole 5 is also still present.
 
====''Nintendo Switch Sports''====
The Classic and Resort golf holes reappear once again in ''{{wp|Nintendo Switch Sports}}'', although the Classic Hole 5 castle has been removed.
 
===''Wii Fit'' series===
====''Wii Fit'' / ''Wii Fit Plus''====
In the running events of ''{{wp|Wii Fit}}'' and ''{{iw|miiwiki|Wii Fit Plus}}'', 8-bit sprites of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can be spotted. On a few occasions, a [[Goomba]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Mushroom]], or [[Super Star]] sprite may also appear along the side of the trail. In ''Wii Fit Plus'', these sprites have a purpose: at the end of Jogging Plus, one of the many questions asked can be which sprite the player spotted.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20080614231942/http://www.balanceboardblog.com/2008/05/8-bit-mario-found-hiding-in-wii-fit.html|title=8-Bit Mario found hiding in ''Wii Fit''|publisher=Balance Board Blog|language=en|date=May 4, 2008|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref>
 
In early builds of ''Wii Fit Plus'', [[Monty Mole]]'s model from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' was used as a placeholder for the moles in Segway Circuit.<ref>{{cite|url=wiifactsplus.tumblr.com/post/637159989999452160/one-of-the-documents-found-in-the-september-2020|title=Post by Wii Facts Plus|date=December 10, 2020|publisher=Wii Facts Plus|accessdate=May 24, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20230821101006/https://wiifactsplus.tumblr.com/post/637159989999452160/one-of-the-documents-found-in-the-september-2020}}</ref>

====''Wii Fit U''====
[[File:M&LQR art.jpg|thumb|Key art for the event]]
[[File:WFU Mario Sprite.jpg|thumb|A sprite of Mario on the Red Iron Bridge]]
Another quiz rally was held at the video game sections of Japanese Aeon stores starting November 30, 2024, titled '''Mario & Luigi Quiz Rally''' (マリオ&ルイージ クイズラリー, ''Mario ando Ruīji Kuizu Rarī'').<ref name=MLQRNintendo>{{cite|date=November 22, 2024|url=https://www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/a9d43627-2ab5-42ee-84df-f372e9584967|title=全国のイオン店舗で「マリオ&ルイージ クイズラリー」開催決定。|publisher=nintendo.com|language=ja|accessdate=December 15, 2024|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20241122010630/https://www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/a9d43627-2ab5-42ee-84df-f372e9584967}}</ref> It used the same format as the previous quiz rally, with participants having to wear sun visors and answer four questions related to games featuring Mario and Luigi (''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'').<ref name=MLQRNintendo /> Participants received two holiday-themed Mario and Luigi stickers for answering correctly to all questions.<ref name=MLQRNintendo /> In addition, customers who purchased one of the games featured in the quiz received a clear file depicting Mario and Luigi.<ref name=MLQRNintendo />
Just like the previous games, 8-bit sprites of [[Mario]], a [[Goomba]], and a [[Mushroom]] can be spotted during Free Run in ''{{wp|Wii Fit U}}''. Additionally, in the Hosedown minigame on advanced difficulty, a [[Warp Pipe]] can be seen in the background.

;Questions
===''Wii Music''===
Correct answers are marked in {{color|#4dae2f|green}}.
In ''{{wp|Wii Music}}'', "[[Ground BGM (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground BGM]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' is unlocked after one has cleared the first four levels of Pitch Perfect, simply called "Super Mario Bros." This song was performed during the showcase of ''Wii Music'' at [[Nintendo]]'s E3 2008 press conference.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 17, 2024|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-RtAd4WxfA|title=Wii Music - Super Mario Bros theme at E3 2008|date=November 14, 2008|author=devyl96}}</ref>

Crossovers with Wii

This page is about crossovers between the Super Mario franchise and the Wii series of games. For the console of the same name, see Wii.

First installment Wii Sports (2006)
Latest installment Nintendo Switch Sports (2022)
Subseries Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Party, Wii Play

The Wii series is composed of games mainly developed by Nintendo for the console of the same name, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch. It encompasses games with different genres intended for a casual audience, such as sports, party, and fitness games.

Several games in the Wii series feature elements from, and references to, the Super Mario franchise. Likewise, the Super Mario franchise, most prominently the Mario Kart series, also features elements that originate from Wii series games.

Overview

The Wii series does not have a consistent genre; instead, it includes various titles initially created with the Wii in mind that are designed to be played by anyone. The first games in the series to be developed were Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Play, and Wii Music, which are a sports game, a fitness game, a minigame collection, and a music game, respectively. The series would later expand to more genres (like party with the Wii Party games, which have similar gameplay to that of the Mario Party series) and continue into Nintendo's later consoles. The series would become popular amongst the casual audience, with Wii Sports, the first game of the series to be released, surpassing Super Mario Bros. as the best-selling Nintendo game.

Prominent crossover elements

Characters

Miis

Four Miis navigating a level in New Super Mario Bros. U
Main article: Mii

Miis are digital avatars that have been used across many Nintendo consoles and services since the Wii. Since their introduction in Wii Sports, they have appeared as both playable and non-playable characters in various Nintendo games, including games in the Super Mario franchise. They are the most prominent characters of the Wii series, appearing in all of its games except Wii Chess. They are also the main characters in some games outside of the Wii series, like the Tomodachi series, Miitopia, and StreetPass Mii Plaza. Miis originate from a concept by Shigeru Miyamoto and were initially conceived to only be used for Wii Sports before it was decided to turn their creation software into a Wii Channel.[1]

Due to their virtual avatar nature, this article does not include Mii appearances unrelated to the Wii series. For the history of Miis in the Super Mario franchise, see here.

Wii Fit Trainer

MiiWiki article: Trainer

The Wii Fit Trainer, generically referred to as the trainer in the original games, is the exercise coach appearing in the Wii Fit series. They instruct and guide players through the games' Yoga and Strength Training activities. Both female and male trainers appear, and players can choose to have their favorite trainer appear in the activities. They have white skin and wear differently-colored clothing depending on the activity, although they always wear green in Wii Fit U.

The Wii Fit Trainer appears as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The female Wii Fit Trainer also appears as a Mystery Mushroom costume in Super Mario Maker and as a Wario's amiibo Sketch drawing in WarioWare Gold.

Wii Balance Board

MiiWiki article: Wii Balance Board (character)

The Wii Balance Board is the guide character of the Wii Fit series. They are based on the peripheral of the same name.

Locations

Wuhu Island

Main article: Wuhu Island

Wuhu Island, known as Wii Fit Island in Wii Fit, is a tropical location inhabited by Miis that appears in Wii Sports Resort and the Wii Fit series. In the Wii Fit series, it is the location of the running events, while in Wii Sports Resort, it is the location of all sports except golf, which instead takes place on the nearby Wedge Island.

History in the Super Mario franchise

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart 7

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Super Mario Maker

Wii Fit Trainer appears as a Mystery Mushroom costume in Super Mario Maker, unlocked by scanning her amiibo or randomly after completing 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher. She also appears in the Wii Balance Board's costume's +Control Pad up pose.

History in the Wii series

Wii Sports series

Wii Sports

The castle present on Hole 5 of Wii Sports.
The Hole 5 castle

In Wii Sports, the golf holes are taken directly from Golf. The castle present in the background of Hole 5 is identical to the Castles of New Super Mario Bros., without the flags and windows.

During the game's development, Mario was added as a playable character while the developers were deciding which characters to add, but he was removed because the developers felt like Mario was the one playing and they were just controlling him, instead of feeling like they were the ones playing the game.[1]

Wii Sports Resort

Similarly to the previous game, the golf holes in Wii Sports Resort (known as "Resort" holes) are taken directly from Golf: Japan Course; the golf holes from Wii Sports also return as "Classic" holes (as well as the castle in Hole 5). The countdown timer used at the start of the racing events sounds similar to the one used in the Mario Kart series. In particular, the Cycling event's timer sounds almost identical to the one used in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In the Island Flyover event, "Ground BGM", "Player Down", and "Game Over" from Super Mario Bros. can be heard by flying near the Hillside Cabins area; the area's nighttime description reads: "Sounds like someone's playing NES, but they need a few pointers..." When playing the same event at night, the description of the Mysterious Ancient Ruins in the PAL version states that skeletons were found in a pit along with shells, possibly referencing Dry Bones. Additionally, the name of the ship "The Queen Peach" may be a reference to Princess Peach.

Wii Sports Club

Both Classic and Resort golf holes return in the Wii U remake of Wii Sports, Wii Sports Club. The castle in Classic Hole 5 is also still present.

Nintendo Switch Sports

The Classic and Resort golf holes reappear once again in Nintendo Switch Sports, although the Classic Hole 5 castle has been removed.

Wii Fit series

Wii Fit / Wii Fit Plus

In the running events of Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, 8-bit sprites of Mario and Luigi can be spotted. On a few occasions, a Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Mushroom, or Super Star sprite may also appear along the side of the trail. In Wii Fit Plus, these sprites have a purpose: at the end of Jogging Plus, one of the many questions asked can be which sprite the player spotted.[2]

In early builds of Wii Fit Plus, Monty Mole's model from Mario Kart Wii was used as a placeholder for the moles in Segway Circuit.[3]

Wii Fit U

Just like the previous games, 8-bit sprites of Mario, a Goomba, and a Mushroom can be spotted during Free Run in Wii Fit U. Additionally, in the Hosedown minigame on advanced difficulty, a Warp Pipe can be seen in the background.

Wii Music

In Wii Music, "Ground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. is unlocked after one has cleared the first four levels of Pitch Perfect, simply called "Super Mario Bros." This song was performed during the showcase of Wii Music at Nintendo's E3 2008 press conference.[4]

Wii Party series

Wii Party

The 8-bit Marios in Clover Hunt

In the minigames section accessed from the main menu of Wii Party, one of the minigames under the Challenge subsection is called Clover Hunt. This is a minigame in which players must locate a certain number of objects that are slightly different from the rest shown on the screen. If the player reaches the final five stages, the object they are given to find is 8-bit Mario from Super Mario Bros. They must find the required number of 8-bit Marios that are standing still, all of which are hidden amongst multiple 8-bit Marios in a jumping position.

Wii Party U

In the Mii Fashion Plaza TV Party in Wii Party U, Miis can dress up like Mario (male) or Princess Peach (female). There are also a few stores that are Super Mario-themed. In Mad Hatters, players can choose to wear the Mario Cap, giving two points if no one else is wearing it. In Dance with Mii, the player can dance to an arrangement of "Ground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. titled "Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)"

Shared history

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
