Here’s why #RIPSuperMario is trending on Twitter

By Chitranshi Agarwal

It’s sad to announce Super Mario peacefully passed away on March 31, 2021. He was born in 1985. He was survived by his brother Luigi and partner Princess Peach.

This is all according to Twitter as the video game icon’s name is trending there.  Fans are mourning the removal of several classic Super Mario games from the Nintendo store.

In September, Nintendo re-launched classic games “Super Mario 3D All-Stars,” “Super Mario Bros. 35” for its Switch console, to celebrate the franchise’s 35th anniversary.

After Wednesday, those games, as well as other anniversary products released by the brand, will no longer be available to purchase digitally or physically once the product runs out, CNN reported.

While “3D All-Stars” will still be playable after Wednesday — as long as you’ve downloaded the game to your console — “Super Mario Bros. 35” will not, Nintendo previously announced in a special alert titled “Important information regarding the end of Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary.”
