Nintendo has announced a new app called Hello Mario! that lets kids interact with Mario’s face in various ways, including smashing it. The free iOS, Android, and Switch app will be available in Japan starting August 26, but its release outside the country is unclear.
The app features a giant Mario head that users can poke and prod, causing his face to turn around on the screen when manipulated. Nintendo encourages parents and young children to play together using the app.
Along with the Hello Mario! app, Nintendo will release a range of new Mario-themed products for kids, including plush toys, teething toys, dinnerware, clothing, and an interactive board book featuring Mario’s mustached face. The highlight of these products is a pair of wooden block sets that include Amiibo functionality.
