Super Mario Run Celebrates Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Switch with Exclusive Event
Nintendo has once again blended its mobile and console experiences, offering Super Mario Run players a brand-new crossover event in celebration of the release of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Nintendo Switch.
The event, now live, invites fans to unlock limited-time themed rewards inspired by the beloved Super Mario Galaxy titles, illustrating Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to integrating its iconic franchises across platforms. Launched in 2016 by Nintendo for iOS and Android, Super Mario Run brought classic Mario side-scrolling action to mobile devices worldwide, and it remains one of the most downloaded Nintendo mobile games.
Super Mario Galaxy, originally developed for the Wii by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, and its acclaimed sequel Super Mario Galaxy 2, are widely regarded as some of the best 3D platformers in the industry.
Their addition to the Nintendo Switch library has revived excitement among long-time fans and newcomers alike.
During the Super Mario Run event, players can earn exclusive Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 rewards by completing unique in-game missions.
Successfully finishing nine event-specific objectives will unlock themed statues featuring Bee Mario, Rosalina, and Balloon Yoshi, each serving as decorative items reminiscent of memorable characters and moments from the Galaxy games.
The event is accessible now through the mobile title’s event menu and is scheduled to run until January 22, 2025.
The event is part of a larger initiative by Nintendo to keep Super Mario Run engaging for its player base.
Over the past several years, the mobile game has hosted a variety of tie-in promotions aligned with major Nintendo Switch releases.
Previous collaborations celebrated launches such as Donkey Kong Bananza, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Super Mario Bros.
Wonder, Princess Peach: Showtime, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
These events have introduced themed content ranging from decor to in-game challenges, boosting player engagement and driving cross-platform interest between mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch. A spokesperson for Nintendo emphasized the company’s ongoing dedication to delivering fresh experiences for fans: "Super Mario Run continues to serve as a bridge connecting console and mobile audiences, and timed events like this offer players new ways to celebrate their favorite Super Mario adventures." With Super Mario Run’s Galaxy event launch, Nintendo demonstrates its expertise in uniting its storied franchises across hardware platforms.
Fans can participate and claim event-exclusive rewards via the Nintendo eShop or directly within the mobile app, strengthening connections within the global Super Mario community as the brand continues to reach new milestones in both hardware and software sales.
