Issue #194 of Nintendo Power, featuring Mario Kart DS.

Nintendo Power is Nintendo's official magazine in the United States and Canada. It covers all of Nintendo's currently active systems (and some inactive ones, if there is any worthy news), and all of the games on those systems. Nintendo Power contains strategy guides, previews, reviews, and exclusive material not made available to other sources.

Nintendo Power (or NP) recently celebrated its 200th issue in February of 2006, and had a major design overhaul in late 2005.

On Monday October 15th 2007, Nintendo of America sold Nintendo Power to Future USA, a magazine company that produces videogame magazines. The magazine remained the same except for a few small changes. Since Future US has taken over, the Player's Guide series has been put on hiatus (leaving Prima to produce the guides), and gifts can no longer be chosen with subscriptions, as the staff will choose one.

Below is a gallery of almost all of the NP covers that Mario and others have appeared on. Notably, Mario has been stated to be the most popular subject of the magazine's covers, having appeared on 46 covers.

Nintendo Power Advance

In 2001, to promote the launch of the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo published a quarterly spinoff magazine of Nintendo Power entitled Nintendo Power Advance, which featured news, tips and complete walkthroughs for various Game Boy Advance games. It did not last very long, and was cancelled after only four issues. Mario, however, was featured on three of the four covers.

Player's Guides

From 1991 through 2007, Nintendo Power also published official strategy guides for big Nintendo games. Among the games in the Mario series that were given Player's Guides:
