Nintendo Kids Space (ニンテンドーキッズスペース) is a division of Nintendo's official Japanese website. Primarily aimed at children, the website promotes Nintendo-published products through material such as printables, comics, and articles. Its American counterpart is Play Nintendo and its European counterpart is Nintendo Kids Club. The website was regularly updated with new content until January 13, 2017, when it was announced through a sitewide notice that further children-oriented content would instead be hosted by the Topics section of nintendo.co.jp; however, the website presently remains open to visitors.

Choite-kun

Choite-kun (ちょいテくん) are thumb-like characters that appear throughout the Nintendo Kids Space website. They host the "A little tech" series of articles (ちょいテク, officially romanized as Choitech), where they convey information and tips on various video games published on Nintendo consoles. They often adopt appearances that reflect the game they talk about; for instance, in an article about Super Mario Maker, they dress up to look like Super Mario characters. One Choite-kun in particular, Afro-te-kun (アフロ・テくん, Afuro te-kun), is recommended as "the funkiest bro who gives you a little tech with a badass flow."

One of Yamamura's observations regards placing a key so it is obtainable after touching a Checkpoint Flag; otherwise, restarting the level from the flag may render any further Key Door unopenable. For this episode, Mary O. briefly assumes a disguised look, which takes Yamamura by surprise to such a degree that he spits the soybeans he was eating. Mary O. states that she disguised herself to evade the persistent attention of fans following the popularity of her Mystery Mushroom costume.

Mary O. turns in her Yoshi Course assignment, which Yamamura revises.

At the end, Yamamura hands Mary O. one last assignment, in which she is tasked to build a course that surpasses her master's work; he then bursts into tears, saying "I never thought I'd see the day I'd have to give this homework".

Yamamura is largely displeased with Mary O.'s Memorable Course assignment, criticizing its lack of cohesion to the point where he compares it to a "life without karaage". He does, however, praise some aspects of the course, such as the concept of Cloud Blocks being used to hide Boos. Yamamura rebuilds Mary O.'s course almost entirely, placing Boos more sensibly and removing a Yoshi that, he claims, served little function in a Boo-centric course due to his inability to eat them; he thus explains the importance of extensive planning and limiting oneself to their own rules, emphasizing "purpose, style, and functionality". For her next assignment, Mary O. is tasked with making a course that truly utilizes Yoshi's abilities.

Yamamura makes some minor adjustments to Mary O.'s latest course in order to ensure it is maximally satisfying to play. Nonetheless, he grudgingly agrees with Mary O. that the course was good to begin with, adding that it is a large improvement over her first attempt to build a course. However, he asserts that it is not memorable enough, thus prompting Mary O. to try and build a "memorable course" for her next assignment.

Mary O. presents a course built using a limited amount of assets, a direction that forced her to be more creative than she was with her previous course. Yamamura makes note of her effort and praises several aspects of her course, albeit he makes many corrections. For Mary O.'s next assignment, Yamamura tasks her with building a "satisfying" course, citing "nice jumps" as an example of something that contributes towards player satisfaction.

Yamamura, a master of Super Mario Maker course creation, is appalled by the quality of his apprentice's first course; he states that it is full of unpleasant surprise attacks from Thwomps and Lava Bubbles, and that it generally contains an inordinate amount of enemies that constantly keep players tense. Mary O. expresses her desire to make better courses, thus she receives an assignment from Yamamura in which she has to build a course using only twelve course parts and without making the course scroll up.

Frustrated, Barbara takes Yamamura into a stranglehold, demanding him to use the voice talent of Yu Ayasaki (a character from Daigasso! Band Brothers P) for Mary O.'s soon-to-be-included Mystery Mushroom costume.

His twin brother, Luigi, is his closest friend, and together the two are a great pair. An all-rounder in sports from tennis, baseball, soccer, to car-racing, he's stylishly good at anything! In fact, long ago, Mario was also occasionally working as a plumber. He loves Princess Peach, and if she's ever captured, he'll always go and save her. But, Bowser always comes to impede him however. If Mario has lots of power-ups and his amazing jump, he'll remain calm no matter what Bowser's ill-intentions are!
mobile view iconMedia:NKS character Luigi icon m.jpg	Luigi	March 16, 2016	マリオのふたごの弟！ ちょっとおくびょうだけど、やさしい性格。 ニガテなものは、やっぱりオバケ。 でも、本当はマリオにまけないくらい、かなりの実力の持ち主…！？ マリオと同じ、「配管工」のお仕事をしていたみたい。 マリオとルイージ、ふたりそろえばひゃくにんりきさ！ トレードマークは、緑のぼうしに緑のシャツ。 マリオとくらべて、ちょっとだけ背がたかい。 よくみると、ヒゲのかたちもちょっとちがうんだけど…しってた？	Mario's twin brother! He's a bit of a coward, but has a kind personality. His weakness is none other than ghosts. But in reality, almost like his brother Mario, he possesses considerably true power. Like Mario, it appears Luigi was also working as a plumber. When the two of them, Mario and Luigi, are present, they have tremendous strength! Luigi's trademarks are his green hat and green shirt. In comparison to Mario, Luigi's only a little bit taller. But if you take a closer look, the shape of Luigi's mustache is also a little different however... did you already know that?
mobile view iconMedia:NKS character Princess Peach icon m.jpg	Princess Peach	March 16, 2016	キノコ王国のお姫さま！ キノコ王国をおそってくるクッパに、さらわれちゃうことがよくある…。 とってもやさしくて、みんながしあわせにくらせることをいつも願っているよ。 ケーキづくりや、料理が好きで、意外とスポーツもとくい！？ マリオとはとても仲がよくて、いつもたよりにしているんだ。 ピンクのドレスがとってもステキ。 ファッションにも気をつかっていて、夏用のドレスやスポーツウェアももっているらしい…！	The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom! There are often times where she is kidnapped by Bowser, who comes to attack the Mushroom Kingdom. She's incredibly kindhearted, and is always hoping that everyone can live in happiness. She loves making cakes and cooking, but is also surprisingly good at sports! She's on very good terms with Mario, and is always relying on him. Her pink dress is very lovely. She's also paying attention to fashion, and appears to also own a summer dress and sports wear!

Mario and friends' eternal rival. Accompanied by lots of underlings such as Koopas, Goombas, Bullet Bills, and Shy Guys, he attacks the Mushroom Kingdom! Even though he decides to do evil things such as capturing Princess Peach, he's always failing, being held back by Mario and friends... In regards to his son, Bowser Jr., Bowser spoils him a bit too much. But, to Bowser Jr., Bowser is his strong and proud father. He has superhuman strength, and his fire-breathing packs a real punch!

There are a lot of similar characters like him, and Toads that have different colours such as blue and green! Everyone's very brave, and they can do any job! They try their hardest to save Princess Peach from Bowser, who targets the Mushroom Kingdom, but it seems they fail every time... At times, they help out Mario, and they occasionally travel together on an adventure! There's also another similar Toad known as Captain Toad! He's got the shape of someone that looks like they like adventure very much!
mobile view iconMedia:NKS character Yoshi icon m.jpg	Yoshi	June 1, 2016	ヨッシーアイランド」からやってきた、マリオのたよれる仲間だよ！ やさしくて、のんびりした性格。背中にコウラがあるけど、カメなのか、恐竜なのか、実はわかっていないんだって。 食べることが大好き！じまんの長い舌でフルーツや敵キャラクターをまるごと飲みこんじゃう。しかも飲みこんだものは、タマゴにして産むことができるよ！でも、さすがにドッスンやクッパは食べられないらしい…。 みどりのヨッシーのほかにも、赤・水色・ピンクなど、色ちがいのヨッシーもいるよ。	Coming from Yoshi's Island, it's Mario's trusted companion! Yoshi has a carefree and easygoing personality. Even though there's a shell on his back, we actually don't know whether Yoshi's a dinosaur or a turtle! Yoshi loves eating things! With his long tongue, he can swallow fruits and enemies completely whole. However, anything Yoshi swallows can only be laid as an egg! But, as you'd expect, it seems he can't eat Thwomps or Bowser... Aside from Green Yoshi, there's Yoshis of various colours, such as red, light blue, and pink!

He possesses a large body and extraordinary strength! He can also easily hurl massive barrels, and can smash the ground, causing huge tremors as a result! But, he's usually easy-going, though maybe a bit absentminded. By working together with his partner Diddy Kong, his grandpa Cranky Kong, and other similar friends, they punish anyone who disturbs the peace of the jungle. Bananas are DK's greatest, most favourite food ever! He keeps lots of bananas in his house all the time. If you try to take them, watch out, because he'll get awfully angry!

He's Donkey Kong's trusted companion and close friend! They're always adventuring together, and Diddy's a reliable friend who helps assist Donkey Kong. It seems he also has a girlfriend named Dixie Kong. Although he's small, he's nimble and his jumping strength is an excellent quality. He can also hang from things with his long tail. In comparison to Donkey Kong, Diddy has quite the firm character. He can skillfully wield all kinds of items!

She travels by riding the starship known as the Comet Observatory. She acts as a mother for the various multicoloured Lumas as well. Although she looks kind of stern, she's very kindhearted to the Lumas. She possesses a mysterious power, and is always floating around. When she rides a bike, she sports a stylish rider suit!

A naughty brat who loves mischief. He resembles Bowser when he was younger. Although his body is still small, he's hiding the Bowser power he's inherited! In actual fact, Bowser Jr. may also be considerably smart! By riding a vehicle known as the "Junior Clown Car", he's been a nuisance to Mario. If Bowser Jr. doesn't get what he wants, he won't settle down, it's one of the selfish traits he has. The scarf with a picture of a large mouth drawn on it is his favourite. It's just a picture of his aspiring dad's mouth!

(Or that's what he says.) He's energetic, and is the kind of person that doesn't really worry about the little things. Even though he should be a good person at heart, he's got a weakness for money, so he'll try his absolute hardest to make money from anything! He travels the world, searching for treasure as an adventurer, and he's also the president of the company "WarioWare, Inc."! By the way, his favorite food is garlic! It seems he's eagerly eating it every day. As a result, his stamina is outstanding!
mobile view iconMedia:NKS character Daisy icon m.jpg	Daisy	August 24, 2018	サラサランドという国のお姫さま。明るくて元気いっぱい！ ちょっとおてんばなところもあるかも！？ 「タタンガ」っていう悪者にさらわれたところを、マリオにたすけてもらったことがあるんだって。 トレードマークは、王冠やイヤリングについているお花だよ！ お姫さまだけど、とっても活発！マリオたちにまじってスポーツするときも、負けないようにがんばっちゃうんだ！	The princess of the country known as Sarasaland.

Her trademark characteristics are the flowers attached to her crown and earrings! Even though she's a princess, she's really active! Whenever she's playing mixed sports with Mario and friends, she tries her absolute hardest not to lose!
mobile view iconMedia:NKS character Boo icon m.jpg	Boo	August 24, 2016	暗いところによく現れる、イタズラ好きなオバケ。 うしろからおそいかかろうと近づいてくるけど、顔をあわせると恥ずかしくて動けなくなっちゃうらしい。 照れ屋さんだから「テレサ」という名前なのかな？ いろんなテレサがいて、なかには王冠をかぶった大きなテレサもいるんだって！	A ghost that loves mischief, and often appears from dark areas. Even though it slowly tries to fly down and approach you from behind, it seems if you turn and face it directly, it becomes embarrassed and completely unable to move. Is it named "Teresa"a because it is a tereyab? There are various Boos, among them there's even a large Boo that wears a crown!
mobile view iconMedia:NKS character Waluigi icon m.jpg	Waluigi	August 24, 2016	ワリオの相棒。ルイージをライバルだと思っている、変わりもの。キザでずるがしこく、ひねくれた性格。 マリオやルイージとたたかう力をたくわえるために、かくれたところでがんばってきたらしい。けっこう、努力家なのかも・・・！？ 手足が長いので、それをいかしたスポーツで活躍することもあるよ。でも、いつも姿勢がわるいから、あんまりつよそうには見えない・・・。 ちなみに、ワリオとはよくいっしょにいるけど、兄弟ではないらしいよ。	Wario's partner. An eccentric character who thinks Luigi is his rival. He has a smug, sly and rebellious personality. In order to build up strength to battle with Mario and Luigi, it seems he has (up until now) been working hard at a secluded location. Is he actually a nice, hardworking person!? Because his limbs are long, he can do very well in sports where he can use this to his advantage. However, because his posture is always bad, he doesn't seem to look very strong… By the way, even though Wario is often with [Waluigi], the two don't seem to be brothers!
