It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

Logo of the Play Nintendo website.
The logo of Play Nintendo

Play Nintendo is a division of Nintendo's official North American website. It promotes contemporary Nintendo systems and games, while maintaining a focus on appealing to a younger audience. It was established on October 1, 2014.[1] The icon used for the website appears to be a Power Star. Nintendo of Europe has a similar division titled the Nintendo Kids Club.[2]

The website's content is split into five sections: Friends, Activities, Media, Printables, and News & Tips (formerly there were only three sections: Friends, Explore, and News & Tips). A clickable ? Block appears throughout these sections, which causes random events to occur when clicked, such as 8-bit Super Mario walking across the webpage, or coins appearing on the screen, which can be collected with the mouse cursor. A web-comic series surfaced on the site to promote the Wii U release of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker called Track That Treasure, Captain Toad!

Sections

Friends

"Friends" consists of profile artworks and descriptions of various main Mario and other Nintendo characters. The following Mario characters are listed on the website, along with their respective descriptions.

Character Description
Profile of Mario from Play Nintendo. PAST
When he isn't rescuing princesses, you'll find him doing…pretty much anything you can think of.

Mario is always ready to help a friend, take on a new challenge, or jump on a Koopa's head. He can also smoke the competition on a rainbow race track and swat a golf ball underwater.
[3]
Profile picture of Mario during the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
Mario
CURRENT
He’s come a long way since stomping his first Goomba.

For the past 35 years, Mario has been running, jumping, and saving the Mushroom Kingdom from baddies. You can join Mario in all sorts of exciting adventures!
[4]
Profile of Luigi from Play Nintendo.
Luigi
Ghosts and Goombas alike better not underestimate this hero.
Talk about spirit! Luigi keeps his Poltergust 5000 set to "Awesome". He may not always be at the center of the action, but when Mario needs him, Luigi jumps right into harm's way.
Profile of Princess Peach from Play Nintendo.
Princess Peach
PAST
Don't let the dainty crown and the parasol fool you. Peach is powerful in pink.

She spent her fair share of time stuck in Bowser's castle and didn't care for it—Princess Peach prefers to be the one doing the rescuing, racing, and competing.
[5]

CURRENT
This princess in pink rules over the Mushroom Kingdom.

She rules on the racetrack, too! When Princess Peach isn’t hanging out in her beautiful castle, she’s busy playing sports with her friends…or going on an adventure with Mario!

Profile of Toad from Play Nintendo.
Toad
PAST
Hey, that isn't a walking mushroom—it's Toad, Mario's loyal friend!

In a kingdom full of Toads, there is only one "Toad"—and he’ll point you to the right castle. He's small in stature under that polka dot cap, but he has a huge heart and extremely speedy feet!
