The Mario Portal is a website created by Nintendo for Super Mario news and information.

The website is available in Japanese and English, and defaults to Japanese.

Sections

The website is divided into five sections; the main page, history, characters, games, and goods. Additionally listed are "Movie" and "Theme Park"; however, when clicked, they lead to the official Nintendo website.

Main page

“RUN! DASH! JUMP! SPIN! SWIM! THROW!”

—Text, Mario Portal

The main page of the website begins with multiple scrolling images at the top, links to the official Nintendo website, buttons that lead to other sections, and a biography for Mario. Under the biography, it includes a few screenshots of games such as Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Odyssey, as well as artwork of Mario. Past that, there's two images changing between multiple different forms and screenshots of them in action, specifically, Tanooki Mario, Cape Mario, Wing Cap Mario, Bee Mario, and Cat Mario. Underneath the changing images is a scrolling section titled "MARIO PLAYS..." featuring panels showcasing "Kart", "Golf", "Tennis", and "Base-ball" alongside artwork relating to the activities. Following this are more buttons leading to other sections. At the bottom of the page is a ? Block that leads back to the top of the page when clicked; however, if hovered over, it will play a coin-collecting animation and turn into an Empty Block until it is no longer hovered over.

History

The history section serves as a list of most^[1] titles sold in Japan, ranging from 1985 with the release of Super Mario Bros. to 2024, currently showing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for the Nintendo Switch as the latest title. It also features five filters; showing all titles (the default), titles by series, which includes TBA, titles by decade, which includes the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s, titles by console, which includes TBA, and titles by genre, which includes TBA. Additionally, a bar which scrolls by year is always present on screen, and the ? Block from the main page returns at the bottom, this time featuring Luigi climbing up a vine if hovered over.
