Hello, Mario! is an free software application aimed towards young children and set to release on mobiles and the Nintendo Switch as part of the My Mario series. In the game, the player can interact with Mario's face by pulling it or turning it around on the screen, and Mario will react in various ways based on the player's input, in a similar fashion to Super Mario 64's title screen. An Internet connection is not required to play. A board book of the same name with similar interactive features will also be released on the same day.
A similar app featuring Yoshi, titled Hello, Yoshi!, was announced on November 7, 2025, and was released on November 18, 2025 in Japan.
Gameplay[]
Upon starting the application, Mario's face appears from below the screen, with the player having to pull him up from his cap. The player can then interact with Mario in various ways, such as pulling on his facial features. They can also press, pull, or rotate parts of his face for some unique interactions.
Other elements from the Mario series, including Mushrooms, Super Stars, Warp Pipes, and enemies, can also appear and be interacted with. Mario can also play peekaboo with the player, with a Boo occasionally making an appearance.
If the player has been playing for a while, Mario will become sleepy and they will not be able to play any longer unless they close and reopen the application, as a way to encourage children to take a break. This can be disabled in the settings in the mobile version.
