Nintendo Releases Charming Summer-Themed Mario & Luigi Artwork on My Nintendo
Nintendo has delighted its global fanbase once again by releasing a new piece of seasonal artwork featuring beloved characters Mario and Luigi, celebrating the warmth and vibrancy of the summer months.
This exclusive digital artwork became available for download starting August 5, 2024, via the official My Nintendo website.
The new illustration showcases Mario and Luigi relaxing at the beach, wading in the gentle shallows of the ocean.
Adding to the whimsical charm, a Blooper—the series’ iconic friendly squid—peeks up from beneath the water’s surface.
A classic Super Star is nestled in the sand, subtly referencing Mario’s long history of vacation-themed adventures.
Notably, the style of the Super Star indicates that this holiday retreat is not set on the famous Isle Delfino, known from 'Super Mario Sunshine,' where Shine Sprites feature a distinct look.
Nintendo has a longstanding tradition of celebrating cultural moments and changes in season through themed artwork, sharing these directly with their dedicated fan community.
In this instance, Nintendo made the new summer illustration available in both landscape and portrait formats, catering to a wide range of devices, from monitors to smartphones.
This flexibility enables fans to enjoy the artwork as desktop backgrounds, phone wallpapers, or social media banners.
While global fans can access the downloadable Mario & Luigi summer artwork through My Nintendo, Japanese consumers are currently enjoying another exclusive: the ‘controller button’ keyring collection, available at official Nintendo stores in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
This new series features collectible designs inspired by classic buttons from platforms such as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo 64 (N64), GameCube, Famicom, and NES, broadening the appeal for hardware enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Nintendo’s ability to engage its audience extends beyond just its top-selling games and consoles like the Nintendo Switch.
Initiatives such as time-limited seasonal events, exclusive digital content, and unique merchandise foster a sense of community and nostalgia.
With Mario continuing to symbolize the company’s extraordinary legacy, these small but thoughtful gestures keep fans eagerly anticipating what’s next.
As the summer continues, Nintendo Switch owners and longtime Nintendo fans can celebrate the season by downloading this stunning Mario & Luigi artwork from My Nintendo.
