This is a list of typefaces and fonts used in games and related media within the Super Mario franchise.
Classic Super Mario font
The first Super Mario font is an uneven sans serif typeface designed by Nintendo in 1988. It is used for the logos and, later, interfaces of Super Mario games from Super Mario Bros. 3 to Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Though mostly the same, a second version of the font was designed following the release of Super Mario 64, which would take over as the primary version from then on. It lacked a fully defined character set, which led to many different interpretations. In particular, the font does not have a consistent design for Japanese hiragana, katakana, or kanji. This remained the case for the font even after the overhaul, likely inciting the shift over to the modern Super Mario font.
Used in tandem with other fonts throughout the 2000's, it was fully replaced with the modern font with the release of Super Mario 3D Land, being last seen on the logo for Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, albeit an early logo for Paper Mario: Sticker Star used a design partially based on this typeface before being changed to the modern Super Mario typeface for the final release.
Modern Super Mario font
The modern Super Mario typeface is an uneven sans serif typeface designed by Nintendo in the early 2010s. It was experimented with by Nintendo in the lead up to the release of the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, with the first use of the modern font appearing in the spine art of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Early versions appeared in games such as Mario Sports Mix, featuring a character set closer to the classic font. The font in its current form was officially introduced with the release of Super Mario 3D Land in 2011 and has since become the singular Super Mario typeface, used for logos, menus, HUDs, and other text across the Super Mario franchise.
The font is officially called "MARIO Font" and was created in collaboration with Fontworks, a foundry whose fonts are often used in Nintendo games. Unlike the previous font, this font has full character sets for hiragana and katakana, as well as some kanji and Cyrillic characters. The font has been revised at least three times; the latest revision of the font is version 3.203, revised on August 20, 2019.[1]

Modern Super Mario Bros. typeface
The modern Super Mario Bros. typeface is first seen in New Super Mario Bros.. This is based on the in-game logo for Super Mario Bros., which was in turn used as the logotype for the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros., as well as Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.
It is geometrical with vertical stems with circular joints for shapes such as "A" and "M" and horizontal strokes that end before meeting left-hand vertical stems. A small version of its glyphs is used for the "SUPER" text in games using the Super Mario Bros. name, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder introduces a lowercase set of characters for the font.
Other than every New Super Mario Bros. game logo as well as Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition and Super Mario Run, it is also seen in Mario Super Sluggers and Super Mario Bros. Wonder for display text, as well as in The Super Mario Bros. Movie for the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing logo.

Classic HUD font
This design was used from Super Mario 64 until Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the Nintendo 3DS, appearing throughout games on the Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Wii. Some of its distinct features are the pointed, obelisk-shaped "A", the flat, wide "E", and the overall stocky, top-larger-than-bottom measures, giving it a more whimsical appearance if compared to earlier Super Mario typefaces, which were designed in the opposite way.
This typeface was primarily used for in-game text outside of dialogue (i.e HUDs and menus). Given the lack of standardization on the first Super Mario typeface, this one was also often used for placeholder logos, at times when new characters for the first font could not be drawn. It was also used for the logo of Super Mario Sunshine.
