The '''Mario Quiz Cards''' are a set of informational quiz cards licensed by [[Nintendo]] and published by Atlas Editions in the mid 1990s. They follow a specific format that usually features an illustration of a [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] character with a word bubble that asks a multiple choice question. A separate illustration follows that features some of the characters and is related to the question. On the back of each card is the answer to the question, along with a detailed explanation accompanied either by a photograph or an illustration. The cards cover a wide variety of topics, including science, history, astronomy, and geography. | The '''Mario Quiz Cards''' are a set of informational quiz cards licensed by [[Nintendo]] and published by Atlas Editions in the mid 1990s.
