This is one of many typefaces used by Nintendo that I plan to reproduce. This particular one has been used in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (in-game text), MarioKart: Double Dash (credits), Luigi's Mansion (title & others), Super Mario Sunshine (in-game text), and Super Mario Galaxy (in-game text).
This version, 2.3, follows a number of others which I never published. In this version, I redrew every glyph from scratch using only the most precise bezier curves. Previous versions consisted of hundreds of points connected by lines - needless to say, it looked horrible at large sizes.
Currently, the font only contains basic Latin letters , numbers, the ! and ?, and several "private use" Mario dingbats. The next published version (3.0) should contain many more glyphs.
