A temporary Mario Museum was opened outside the Nintendo store at the Rockefeller Center. The museum is housed in a makeshift tent. The Mario museum was constructed for the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wii. By visiting the store at Rockefeller Center, gamers could buy the new game a day before the rest.
At the event, Mario fans could demo the newest game on multiple kiosks outside the museum. The launch also hosted a tournament where the winner received a free copy of the game.
Visitors could experience a little of Mario’s world for once. The entrance to the museum was a giant green pipe. Inside, some of the earliest Mario memorabilia was also displayed on green pipes. After the museum, gamers had only one thing left to complete their day, buy the Super Mario Bros. Wii.
I haven’t played any Mario game for at least ten years. With that being said, I think I would go see this museum if I lived a little closer to New York. Nintendo did a good job planning the event and holding more than just an early release party for their newest game.

I love how Nintendo is doing this for the launch of Super Mario. The mini museum looks like it'd be fun to take kids to.
That museum looks awesome! I wish it had been in Austin. I would have loved to have gone.
If I lived in New York I would have gone to the event to see the museum and probably came out with the new Mario game. Great idea for people of all ages, I used to love playing Mario when I was younger.
This is the last comment I'll ever have to leave on a blog post for school. YAY! The best part? It's on a post about Mario! YAY!
I think this is a great idea for any age. The Mario games are what people our age grew up playing and it's something kids and adults will enjoy as well.
Yay Mario! I think this I a really cool idea.
Cool way to make things interactive. Parents will have their kids screaming "Mario!" again.
