List of unofficial Mario media explained

Fandom

In the late 2000s, YouTube poop meme videos arose using footage from various Mario-related sources, including the Philips CD-i game Hotel Mario,^{[102] [103]} The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, and Super Mario World.

After the release of Mario Kart 8 in 2014, a short clip featuring "Luigi's Death Stare" went viral; the original clip featured Luigi passing other drivers with an uncharacteristically angry facial pose set to the music of Chamillionaire's 2006 hit song Ridin'.^{[104] [105] [106]} The meme was referenced by Nintendo itself during their E3 2014 presentation.^[107]

"Mario dies" internet meme

On September 3rd, Nintendo announced via Nintendo Direct the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary, an event celebrating the release of Super Mario Bros. in 1985. Various games were released and merchandise collaborations were held. Among the games released were: Super Mario Bros. 35, a derivative of the original Super Mario Bros. with battle royale elements; , an LCD handheld replica of Super Mario Bros. in the Game & Watch line; and Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a compilation game of a selection of 3D games from the Super Mario series, including Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.^[110] Over the course of the celebration Nintendo announced the discontinuation of several products associated with the event on March 31, 2021, including Super Mario Bros. 35, Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario 3D All-Stars.^[111] Other products relating to the Mario franchise were also being discontinued that same day, including merchandise sold at Nintendo's story in Tokyo, Japan, the shutting down of online services for the 2015 game Super Mario Maker,^[112] and the removal of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 from Netflix.

The discontinuation of many Mario-related products was never officially explained by Nintendo, although Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser explained that the decision was made to keep them unique to the anniversary celebration itself.^{[113] [114]} In the lack of an official explanation, many fans ironically interpreted that it was because the character Mario was to die on that day,^{[115] [116]} or the day after.^[117] Instances of the meme began months before the date.^[118] It evolved over time, originally warning fans that Mario's death was approaching and counting down the days until March 31. On the day of the discontinuation itself, Mario's death was mourned by fans.^[119] March 31 was declared "Mario Death Day".^[120]

On March 31, "Mario" was trending on Twitter," receiving 150,000 tweets relating to the meme within 24 hours.^[121] Select video game news websites satirically presented the death of Mario as fact, including VentureBeat and iMore.^{[122] [123]} Notable participation included American TV network G4 and YouTube personality Nathaniel Bandy, which led to a wave of memorials from users.
