Nice post here...
Other pics from different years of the Nintendo Company Handbook.
Thank you again for gathering all of this MetalLord!
I'll add this image of concept art from Nintendo's 2018 employee handbook.
Also bonus 3D World art that I wanted to share!

It's interesting to learn that the Mario franchise is the 5th highest-grossing media franchise, right behind the following: Pokemon, Hello Kitty, Star Wars and Mickey Mouse, assuming that the list is up-to-date. The gap between Mickey Mouse and Mario is also rather substantial, compared to the gap between Mario and the next one on the list, Harry Potter. It's interesting mainly because unlike the other items in the list, Mario is mostly about video games, which goes to show how profitable Mario is on this field. I can see why Nintendo seeks to expand Mario's reach even further, including licensing out for a new animated film. It's so strange that despite Mario's popularity, his online forum presence is way more limited compared to even Pokemon or Sonic.
It had never occurred to me that Nabbit is inspired by the Ninji, if this image is of any indication.
Thank you for reading.

Releases in English on October 23rd. First released in Japanese in 2015, and in German and Spanish in 2017 and French this year.
I've got the Encyclopaedia pre-ordered (since March!) and will be crossing my fingers for a translation of the Odyssey book... though I may just import it now.
Have there been any other notable Mario books?
Art books or otherwise?

In terms of encyclopedias there is also 'The Great Character Mario Encyclopedia', Japanese only from 1994.
There's a few art/colouring books from the 90's and 2000's from the US.
Interestingly, the 'Play Nintendo' website from NOA has some nice art/colouring pictures that you can print.

You know, it's odd that there's such a lack of Mario materials. Zelda has a seemingly endless supply of books, I figured Mario would've been getting at least art books since the Galaxy days.
The games don't even get special editions.
I guess 'it's Mario' and so it doesn't need this stuff, but still...

That Mario and the bird artwork is adorable
I've always loved this art style, I wish we'd get a 2D Mario that looked exactly like this

Mario and the gang are all here for Super Mario Party. Also, this could be the first time that Pom Pom is controllable.
I believe the Donkey Kong and Wario ones are taken directly from their Super Mario amiibo art.
Meanwhile, many characters have new ones, including Mario, Bowser, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Waluigi, Koopa Troopa, Bowser Jr., Toadette and Kamek. Several are reused artwork.
Thank you for reading.

Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch. First released as an ultra rare 'Crystal Screen' version that had a see-through LCD screen. 1986
Then re-released as a Wide Screen Game & Watch in 1988 with better graphics, same gameplay. (I own this).
And an even more limited than the crystal screen version, 1987, only 10,000 units made Japan only, competition winners only (never available at retail).
Boxart for the Wide version Game & Watch

This is nice. The release of Mario Open Golf (1991) on the Nintendo Online Service reminds us where Mario got his stars & stripes outfit from in Super Mario Odyssey.

That hand drawn pic has both Pauline & Peach looking "seductively" at Mario. Does Pauline like Mario romantically?
