'''Play Nintendo''' is a division of [[Nintendo]]'s official North American website. It promotes contemporary Nintendo systems and games, while maintaining a focus on appealing to a younger audience. It was established on October 1, 2014.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/fDFU_xSPg70DC4laXkgruUB9g-rMP93w What's New - Find fun and surprises at Play Nintendo]. ''Nintendo of America'' (October 1, 2014). Retrieved January 17, 2018.</ref> The icon used for the website is a [[Super Star]]. Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Japan have similar divisions titled [[Nintendo Kids Club]] and [[Nintendo Kids Space]], respectively.


The website's content is split into five sections: Friends, Activities, Media, Printables, and News & Tips. (Formerly there were only three sections: Friends, Explore, and News & Tips.) A clickable [[? Block]] appears throughout these sections, which causes random events to occur when clicked, such as 8-bit [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] walking across the webpage, or [[coin]]s appearing on the screen, which can be collected with the pointer. A web-comic series surfaced on the site to promote the [[Wii U]] release of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' called ''[[Track That Treasure, Captain Toad!]]''

Play Nintendo is a division of Nintendo's official North American website. It promotes contemporary Nintendo systems and games, while maintaining a focus on appealing to a younger audience. It was established on October 1, 2014.[1] The icon used for the website is a Super Star. Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Japan have similar divisions titled Nintendo Kids Club and Nintendo Kids Space, respectively.

The website's content is split into five sections: Friends, Activities, Media, Printables, and News & Tips. (Formerly there were only three sections: Friends, Explore, and News & Tips.) A clickable ? Block appears throughout these sections, which causes random events to occur when clicked, such as 8-bit Super Mario walking across the webpage, or coins appearing on the screen, which can be collected with the pointer. A web-comic series surfaced on the site to promote the Wii U release of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker called Track That Treasure, Captain Toad!

Sections[edit]

Friends[edit]

"Friends" consists of profile artworks and descriptions of various main Super Mario and other Nintendo characters. The following Super Mario characters are listed on the website, along with their respective descriptions.

Character Description Link
Profile of Mario from Play Nintendo. CURRENT
When he isn't rescuing princesses, you'll find him doing…pretty much anything you can think of.
Mario is always ready to help a friend, take on a new challenge, or jump on a Koopa's head. He can also smoke the competition on a rainbow race track and swat a golf ball underwater. 		[friends 1]
Profile picture of Mario during the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
Mario 		SUPER MARIO BROS. 35TH ANNIVERSARY
He’s come a long way since stomping his first Goomba.
For the past 35 years, Mario has been running, jumping, and saving the Mushroom Kingdom from baddies. You can join Mario in all sorts of exciting adventures![2]
Profile of Luigi from Play Nintendo.
Luigi 		Ghosts and Goombas alike better not underestimate this hero.
Talk about spirit! Luigi keeps his Poltergust 5000 set to "Awesome". He may not always be at the center of the action, but when Mario needs him, Luigi jumps right into harm's way. 		[friends 2]
Profile of Princess Peach from Play Nintendo.
Princess Peach 		FORMER
Don't let the dainty crown and the parasol fool you. Peach is powerful in pink.
She spent her fair share of time stuck in Bowser's castle and didn't care for it—Princess Peach prefers to be the one doing the rescuing, racing, and competing.[3]

CURRENT
This princess in pink rules over the Mushroom Kingdom.
She rules on the racetrack, too! When Princess Peach isn’t hanging out in her beautiful castle, she’s busy playing sports with her friends…or going on an adventure with Mario!

[friends 3]
Profile of Toad from Play Nintendo.
Toad 		FORMER
Hey, that isn't a walking mushroom—it's Toad, Mario's loyal friend!
In a kingdom full of Toads, there is only one "Toad"—and he’ll point you to the right castle. He's small in stature under that polka dot cap, but he has a huge heart and extremely speedy feet![4]

CURRENT
The Mushroom Kingdom’s biggest helper is kind of small.
Mario’s loyal friend Toad has one of the friendliest faces in the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad may be small in stature, but he has a big heart!

[friends 4]
Profile of Toadette from Play Nintendo.
Toadette 		From tracking treasure to crafting paper, tiny Toadette is always ready to face a challenge.
She's a lightweight on the kart track, but Toadette really knows her stuff when it comes to fun and adventure. This pink-and-white member of the Toad species gets really pumped up when she's out to save the day! 		[friends 5]
Profile of Bowser from Play Nintendo.
Bowser 		This spiny shelled menace may be strong, but his breath isn't everything.
Bowser isn’t exactly a "friend", but where would Mario be without a troublesome giant Koopa who keeps snatching Princess Peach? The world would certainly be a lot less fun. 		[friends 6]
Princess Daisy's profile artwork from Play Nintendo
Daisy 		She's got a gown and a crown, but this friendly princess is totally down to earth.
Daisy’s always ready for a challenge, whether she's smashing tennis balls or jumping over hurdles. The ruler of Sarasaland loves the thrill of the chase, too—especially when she's zooming around on a kart. 		[friends 7]
Profile of Wario from Play Nintendo.
Wario 		This rude and crude fellow likes to toot…his own horn.
Wario is stubborn, sneaky, and every bit as crooked as his mustache—the complete opposite of his rival, Mario. But he's got a head for business, and despite his greedy nature, he's been known to lend the occasional helping hand. 		[friends 8]
Profile of Waluigi from Play Nintendo.
Waluigi 		Wario’s sidekick and Luigi’s biggest rival (or so he thinks).
Waluigi schemes in secret to defeat Mario and Luigi, but he hasn’t found much success. His long arms and legs give him an edge in all kinds of sports, from tennis to soccer. 		[friends 9]
Profile of Rosalina from Play Nintendo.
Rosalina 		Interstellar observer, protector of the Lumas, and friend to Mario.
From her Comet observatory, Rosalina scans the cosmos for adorable Lumas to adopt. From behind the wheel of a kart, she scans the track for rivals to pelt with green shells. 		[friends 10]
Profile of Pauline from Play Nintendo
Pauline 		She’s a true 1-UP girl!
As the leader of New Donk City, Mayor Pauline is in charge of making sure everything is running smoothly. As a performer, she likes music that brings people together and gets them moving.
Whether she’s wearing her professional pantsuit or sparkly red dress, she’s one of the most stylish mayors around! 		[friends 11]
Profile of a Ninji from Play Nintendo.
Ninji 		Small, nimble, and always ready for battle.
These foes are speedy and quiet. They leap and jump like a ninja to attack, with shuriken in hand!
Ninjies are also kind of small. But what they lack in size, they make up for in enthusiasm! 		[friends 12]
Profile of Birdo from Play Nintendo
Birdo 		Bright, bejeweled, bewitching…and bent on winning.
Birdo looks fabulous with her bright red bow, long eyelashes, and sparkling diamond ring. But don’t let her appearance fool you—Birdo can play sports and battle with the best of them.
She can also shoot eggs from her funnel-shaped snout! 		[friends 13]
Profile of a Boo from Play Nintendo.
Boo 		Spectacular specters!
These shy spirits inhabit Mario's world and have been known to vanish or freeze when met face-to-face. They often appear in groups and fly in formation.
In recent years, they’ve branched out from their usual haunts to pursue tennis and other activities. From time to time, giant Boos make surprise appearances! 		[friends 14]
Profile of a Goomba from Play Nintendo.
Goomba 		The Mushroom Kingdom's most fearful foe is... not the Goomba. But don’t tell them that.
It's pretty easy to take on a Goomba—they can usually be defeated with a well-timed jump. But these Mushroom Kingdom creatures are still part of Bowser's army, so beware! 		[friends 15]
Profile of a Dry Bones from Play Nintendo.
Dry Bones 		These baddies tend to fall apart on you.
Dry Bones are the skeletal remains of Koopa Troopas. They’ll collapse into a pile of dry bones when attacked.
Just when you think they’ve been defeated, they’ll put themselves back together and start attacking again! 		[friends 16]
Bowser Jr.'s profile artwork from Play Nintendo
Bowser Jr. 		Bowser’s little boy has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Bowser Jr. is small, but he knows how to cause plenty of trouble for Mario. He may even throw a tantrum if things don’t go his way. After all, he’s the son of Bowser, King of the Koopas!
His bib is decorated with drawn-on fangs and worn like a mask…possibly in an attempt to seem more menacing! 		[friends 17]
Profile of a Koopa Troopa from Play Nintendo.
Koopa Troopa 		Don't tell one of these minions to come out of its shell (unless you plan to throw its shell right back at it).
These members of Bowser's Koopa Troop wear their homes—and their weapons—on their backs. You can usually find them marching through the Mushroom Kingdom and looking for trouble. 		[friends 18]
Profile of the Koopalings (Larry Koopa and Wendy O. Koopa shown) from Play Nintendo.
Koopalings 		Bowser’s wildest minions have a personality all their own.
There are seven Koopalings in the clan: Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. These leaders of the Koopa Troop are always getting in Mario’s way—especially when he’s trying to reach their boss, Bowser. 		[friends 19]
Profile of Yoshi from Play Nintendo.
Yoshi 		What does Yoshi do to beat up baddies? It’s right on the tip of his tongue…
When trouble comes a-calling, this sticky-tongued, egg-laying wonder will flutter jump to the rescue. So who does Yoshi count on to have his back? Mario, of course! 		[friends 20]
Profile of Poochy from Play Nintendo.
Poochy 		Who’s a good boy? Poochy’s a good boy!
Yoshi won’t have to adventure alone with this faithful companion by his side. Poochy’s always ready to lend a paw to help Yoshi travel over dangerous terrain, fetch hard-to-reach collectables, or sniff out secrets. 		[friends 21]
Profile of Baby Mario from Play Nintendo.
Baby Mario 		Think you're tough? Try going on adventures in a diaper.
While other babies roll aimlessly on the floor and cry for milk, Baby Mario rides like a boss on the back of a Yoshi…and hungers for justice. 		[friends 22]
Profile of Baby Luigi from Play Nintendo.
Baby Luigi 		There's no napping for this beleaguered baby when enemies abound.
Baby Mario's brother has spent a lot of time in Kamek’s clutches, but Baby Luigi also gets plenty of outdoor time driving a kart. 		[friends 23]
Profile of Kamek from Play Nintendo.
Kamek 		This sneaky Magikoopa keeps trying (and failing) to stop the future Super Mario Bros.
You could argue that Kamek is just trying to make life easier for his fellow Koopas, but his airborne schemes always end up making a mess for everyone. 		[friends 24]
Profile of Shy Guy from Play Nintendo.
Shy Guy 		Who are these masked rascals that cause so much trouble for Yoshi and Mario?
It seems like Shy Guys are always around, whether you're driving a kart, hitting a tennis ball, having a party, or rescuing a baby from a bespectacled Magikoopa. 		[friends 25]
Profile of Polterpup from Play Nintendo
Polterpup 		What do you get when you combine a puppy and a ghost? This doggone cutie!
Polterpup is a mischievous ghost pup. This playful ball of ectoplasm can be quite a handful, but he’s always ready to give it his all. Polterpup is very loyal and loves Luigi.
Polterpup has a habit of running off with important stuff. That usually means he just wants to play! 		[friends 26]
Profile of Professor E. Gadd from Play Nintendo
Professor E. Gadd 		A genius inventor who supports Luigi in his adventures…from the safety of his lab, that is.
Professor E. Gadd is the leading authority in the field of paranormal research. His beloved ghost collection is said to be the best in the world!
This eccentric ghost expert is known for many brilliant inventions, including the Poltergust line of ghost-hunting tools and Luigi’s gooey doppelganger, Gooigi. 		[friends 27]
Profile of Cappy from Play Nintendo.
Cappy 		This hat-shaped hero from the Cap Kingdom grants Mario incredible abilities.
Cappy’s capture ability lets Mario take control of all sorts of things, including objects and enemies. All it takes is a flick of the wrist! 		[friends 28]
Profile of Donkey Kong from Play Nintendo.
Donkey Kong 		This friendly Kong goes absolutely bananas when it comes to jumping and pounding.
Donkey Kong has changed a lot since he got a game named after him way back when. He has a nice family and wears a tie, but he still likes to crash through branches and boxes in the jungle. 		[friends 29]
Profile of Diddy Kong from Play Nintendo.
Diddy Kong 		He might look harmless to jungle baddies, but this small Kong is a peanut-popping powerhouse!
You'll often find him riding on Donkey Kong's back, but Diddy Kong is no burden—he can blast his big buddy to new heights with his Rocket Barrel Boost! 		[friends 30]
Profile of Dixie Kong from Play Nintendo.
Dixie Kong 		Look in the sky! It's an itty-bitty blonde whirlybird Kong!
It would be easy to underestimate this tiny Kong with a smiling face and a pony tail tucked under her pink beret, but Dixie Kong can more than carry her own weight for the Kong clan. 		[friends 31]
Profile of Cranky Kong from Play Nintendo.
Cranky Kong 		He'll throw enemies out of the jungle—as soon as he puts in his dentures.
Stooped in stature, but sizable in spirit, the curmudgeonly Cranky Kong springs out of his rocking chair—and into the action—with his spike-proof, bouncing cane. 		[friends 32]
Profile of Funky Kong from Play Nintendo.
Funky Kong 		Hang ten with Donkey Kong’s bodacious buddy.
When Funky Kong surfs into action, not even spikes can slow him down! This fun-loving Kong helps his friends get their paws on cool items—and in the past, he’s helped them travel in style, too. Sweeeeet! 		[friends 33]
Profile of theSnowmads from Play Nintendo.
Snowmads 		These frigid foes froze Donkey Kong Island. That's so cold!
The Snowmads are an invasion force of walruses, seals, penguins, and other beasties who bring cold temperatures, thievery, and wacky boss battles to a peaceful tropical island. 		[friends 34]
Profile of Rambi from Play Nintendo.
Rambi 		Ride in style on the back of this rambunctious rhino.
Donkey Kong can smash his way through a box or two, but he needs his horned helper to power through stone blocks…and the occasional enemy. 		[friends 35]
Profile of Tiki Tak Tribe from Play Nintendo. The profile image depicts the first tiki encountered, Kalimba Tiki.
Tiki Tak Tribe 		This troublesome tribe can’t mask their thieving nature.
With a little bit of hocus pocus, these musical hypnotists can turn the gentle beasts of the jungle into fearsome foes. 		[friends 36]
