About this episode

The episode discusses Nintendo's handling of Mario's 40th anniversary and fan expectations.

Mario turned 40 on September 13, 2025, and somehow Nintendo barely celebrated it. We're breaking down how poorly Nintendo handled Mario’s 40th anniversary, the strange messaging around Mario and Peach, the rush toward a sequel after the billion-dollar movie, and why fans expected a lot more from the most recognizable character in gaming history. Was this a celebration or a missed opportunity? "Mario’s 40th FLOP-a-versary" | AhhFuGGiT EP 156 – Now Live!
