Nintendo is an evil group featured in a series of Australian commercials for the Nintendo Entertainment System, cross promoting Super Mario Bros., Gyromite, and Duck Hunt. It is comprised of Bowser, Lakitu, Smick from Gyromite and the dog from Duck Hunt, led by a human spokesman loosely resembling Max Headroom.

In their initial appearance, they are seen as CGI characters and mock the viewer, challenging them to complete the games featured with the repeated taunt of "You cannot beat us", with it being mentioned that in Super Mario Bros, a player can "score one million" and "discover new worlds".

In a later live-action commercial, a child can be seen playing Super Mario Bros. while imitating the voices from the computer-animated commercial. When he defeats Bowser, and proudly shouts "beatcha'!", Nintendo sends a gust of wind into his room that leaves him spinning, before blasting him into space.
