Nintendo Museum's Super Mario Bros. 40th Displays End September 7

Article

A handful of specific Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary items at Nintendo's own museum in Kyoto Prefecture are ending September 7 — while other anniversary items have already ended, and one stays available indefinitely.

What's Ending September 7

Three specific items end after Tuesday, September 7, 2026: the Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary-design entry ticket, the special-design T-shirt, and the "history board" display. None of these are available from September 8 onward.

What Already Ended Earlier in 2026

Two other 40th-anniversary items are already over and should not be treated as currently on view: a limited-time lighting display, which ended April 27, 2026, and a Mario & Luigi byōbu folding-screen display, which ended March 23, 2026.

What Stays Available

The Nintendo Museum Official Book Vol.01, which includes special features on Super Mario Bros.'s 40th anniversary, remains available for purchase at the museum's Art Gallery, with no stated end date.

Where the Nintendo Museum Is

The Nintendo Museum is located in Uji, a city in Kyoto Prefecture — connected to Nintendo's own corporate roots rather than being a generic game-themed attraction.

A Museum Tied to Company History

Unlike a typical franchise pop-up, the Nintendo Museum's identity is built around the company's own history, giving this Super Mario anniversary programming a direct link to Nintendo's real corporate story rather than existing as a standalone promotional event.

What To Know

A 40th anniversary celebration for one of gaming's most iconic franchises, held at the company's own dedicated museum, is a real draw for Nintendo fans planning a Japan trip — and knowing exactly which specific items (not the whole museum or every anniversary item) end September 7 helps visitors plan precisely instead of guessing.

The Nintendo Museum is located in Uji, a city in Kyoto Prefecture rather than central Kyoto or Tokyo, and its connection to Nintendo's own corporate history — not just its games — makes it a genuinely different kind of destination from a typical game-themed attraction.
