Super Mario Orchestra Concert
The Super Mario Orchestra Concert (Japanese: スーパーマリオオーケストラコンサート), subtitled and also known as "Bowser is the protagonist!?" (Japanese: クッパが主役！？, Koopa ga Shuyaku!?), was a series of concerts in Japan that were featured as part of the KYOTO CMEX (standing for "Cross Media Experience") 2018 festival for movies, animation, video games, and manga. It was officially supervised by Nintendo.

The concerts took place during the weekend of September 15–16, 2018, in the Main Hall of ROHM Theater Kyoto (Okazaki-cho Town 13 Sakyo-ku, Kyoto-shi). The first concert was held at 6:00 PM JST on September 15, with additional matinee and evening concerts the following day at 1:00 PM JST and 5:00 PM JST, respectively.
