“It’s Me, Mario!” – Nintendo’s New Stop-Motion Animation Series Is Now Streaming!
A fresh take on the world’s most beloved plumber is now live on Play Nintendo—short, sweet, and perfect for all ages.
Nintendo has been steadily expanding its presence in the world of entertainment beyond gaming, with increasing ventures into film and series. The massive success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023 not only delighted fans worldwide but also led to the greenlighting of a sequel in record time. Now, Nintendo is back with a new bite-sized animated series, and it’s already streaming online via the Play Nintendo channel!
About the “It’s Me, Mario!” Series
“It’s Me, Mario!” is a charming stop-motion animated series that features Mario in delightful 1-minute episodes. These shorts offer a lighthearted look into Mario’s daily life, showcasing everything from how he brushes his mustache to how he chooses the perfect hat.
So far, three episodes are available for free, with new ones to be released regularly. It’s a show made for young children and families, but longtime fans will appreciate the nostalgia and cute presentation too. It’s a new side of the mustachioed plumber we rarely get to see—fun, quirky, and refreshingly down-to-earth.
Simple Sets, Classic Vibes
The animation features simple, colorful backgrounds, combined with familiar objects from the Mario universe—like brick blocks, green pipes, and Koopa shells. Fans will also notice soft, easy-listening remixes of iconic Mario tracks from games like Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros., adding a soothing retro charm to each scene.
And yes—the Mario dolls used in the show? Absolutely adorable. They’re cute enough to make you wish you could collect them all. Hopefully, the official Thai Nintendo store brings them in soon!
Part of the “My Mario” Line
The series is a key component of Nintendo’s new “My Mario” line—an initiative focused on helping younger audiences engage with Mario through toys, apps, and now, animated shorts. The product line launched in Japan in late August 2025, and is expected to roll out in other regions globally by 2026.
If you’re looking for something wholesome, family-friendly, and full of Mario charm, this series is definitely worth a watch. Whether you’re 5 or 55, it’s impossible not to smile at Mario brushing his mustache with all the seriousness in the world.
Final Thought
Nintendo has always known how to tap into joy, and It’s Me, Mario! is a perfect example of that philosophy in action. With simple yet heartfelt storytelling, the series brings a slice of Mario’s world into ours in a way that’s accessible and universally enjoyable. This isn’t just for kids—it’s for anyone who ever found happiness jumping on a Goomba or collecting a Fire Flower. As Nintendo continues to explore new mediums, it’s clear that Mario is more than a mascot—he’s a timeless character with endless charm.
