at the Nintendo Museum

To mark the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo Museum is launching special promotions listed below.

*Anything listed on this page may be canceled or altered without prior notice.

Special Play Ticket Design

Starting Saturday, September 13, the Nintendo Museum play ticket will introduce a special, limited Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary design, available for approximately one year.
During this period, visitors to the Nintendo Museum can choose between two play-ticket designs:

Super Mario Bros.
40th Anniversary
Your Mii
  • Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary
  • Your Mii

Notes

  • By default, all play tickets will use the special Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary design. If you have already set your play ticket to the Mii design but would like to switch to the Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary design, please visit the Nintendo Museum ticketing website and update your settings before your visit.
  • Want to use your Mii?
    Visit the Nintendo Museum ticketing website and update your settings before your visit.
    If a guest in your party other than the one who made the reservation wishes to use their Mii for their play ticket, their ticket must first be assigned to them.
    Please see here for details on how to do that.

*The end date for the special Mario design will be announced at a later date.

The Nintendo Museum will be illuminated with special lighting throughout the facility from Wednesday, December 3, 2025, to Monday, April 27, 2026.
