The Satellaview is a satellite modem add-on for Nintendo's Super Famicom system in Japan released in 1995. It was made in a joint effort between Nintendo and St.GIGA, the latter at the time being a popular satellite radio company. The Satellaview had features relatively comparable to Sega's Sega Channel service in North America, as the Satellaview allowed users to download games, news magazines, and articles from St.GIGA's servers. Satellaview could also stream Satellite Radio, which at times was used to play pop music, advertise, or allow people to listen to radio programs while playing games - for certain special games, particularly the games advertised as Soundlink, of which many of the Super Mario games showcased on it were, audio was played intentionally to go along with the gameplay and consisted of character voice acting and arranged game music. Satellaview was discontinued on June 30, 2000.

There are also various magazine releases which have articles featuring Super Mario characters. A promotional flyer for the Satellaview features Mario in a spacesuit, which would later appear as an add-on outfit in the Nintendo Switch game Super Mario Odyssey on March 28, 2018, and in Mario Kart Tour as a separate playable variant that first appeared in the Space Tour, aptly going by the name of Mario (Satellaview).
