Though the weather has started to warm up in some areas, it is still very much a frigid landscape for many, and that can make entering kids a challenge. Thankfully, a free game from Nintendo could be the fix for weather-weary families.

Affordable fun isn’t easy to manage in the era of $60+ games, but Nintendo has an option that just dropped that is perfect for kids of any age, which costs nothing to download. Hello, Mario! is an adorable, tactile game that allows players to interact with Mario.

Hello, Mario! Allows players to tug, pull, and mess with Mario’s face. They can also select iconic items from a menu and use them to get Mario’s attention. The game makes use of the touchscreen feature on the Nintendo Switch, allowing even the youngest gamers to participate.

Hello, Mario! Is a Great Introduction to Nintendo

While Hello, Mario! might not be for every fan, but it is a great introduction point to the ironic Nintendo series for very young gamers. This could be a launch point into games like Mario Kart in the future, and it is a wonderful way for Mario fans to share the series in an age-appropriate way.

In addition to Hello, Mario’s! free release, Mario Tennis Fever also launched in February 2026. The fresh look at the Mario Tennis series sees players tackling extreme sports with the cast of the series. Players can score points as Princess Peach, destroy the court as Bowser, or take the gold as Mario himself.

The game includes a court filled with traps and abilities that make a standard tennis match look like a leisurely walk in the park. Players will need to pick the best character for their playstyle, as each option offers a different set of skills and buffs that make them unique while on the court.

However, for those looking for a cute, free way to add a little more of Mario to their family time, Hello, Mario! is a fantastic option, and one that won’t damage the bank to try out.
