"One might think it would be a miracle if Mario was still here after 100 years, since we make things while not knowing when our players may get bored with them,"
"different times bring different kinds of fun."
"Now we're working in visual fields like movies, but I want to make sure we keep it interactive and digital. As long as we don't forget Mario's prime point--running and jumping--as we add new things, I think Mario will be with us for a long time to come."
Mario's 40th anniversary prompts planning for sustained cultural relevance through continual evolution and technological integration. Nintendo intends to preserve fundamental gameplay—running and jumping—while expanding into new digital and visual fields, including movies, to keep the experience interactive. Developers acknowledge uncertainty about long-term player interest but see changing eras as opportunities for different kinds of fun and new mechanics beyond NES-era limitations. No new mainline Mario debuted for the 40th; Nintendo released remasters of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Switch and Switch 2. Upcoming projects include The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Mario Tennis Fever for Switch 2.
