- Not to be confused with Super Mario Bros.: Mario Mania!.
Mario Mania (originally titled The Complete Mario) is a book published by Nintendo Power in August 1991. It is one of the earliest installments of the official Nintendo Player's Guide series, and its main feature is a detailed strategy guide for Super Mario World, but its first 32 pages are devoted to the history of Mario up to that point. Included are:
- Full-page profiles for Mario and Luigi.
- A "Best Friends" page providing brief profiles for Pauline, Toad, Princess Toadstool, Yoshi, the kings of the Mushroom World, the Super Mushroom, the Fire Flower, and the Starman.
- A three-page "Worst Enemies" chapter providing brief profiles for Bowser, the Koopalings, Donkey Kong, Wart, Birdo, Mouser, and various enemies in the series.
- Detailed descriptions of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Land, and Dr. Mario.
- A one-page list of Mario's cameos in NES and Game Boy games.
- Two pages devoted to showing off Mario merchandise.
- Two pages about The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, as well as short blurbs about Saturday Supercade and the then-upcoming Super Mario World animated series and Super Mario Bros. film.
- A three-page interview with Shigeru Miyamoto.
In addition, at the end of each world's section in the Super Mario World guide are trivia sections titled "Super Mariology," listing facts about the games of the Super Mario franchise, such as how fast Mario can run and swim and the farthest he can go in a single jump, as well as showing the graphical evolution of Mario, the Princess, and Bowser, and a brief description of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
