This isn't just a fan wiki or a collection of screenshots. The Mario Multiverse Archive represents the most ambitious grassroots effort to catalog every parallel dimension, scrapped concept, beta element, and cosmic anomaly within the Super Mario franchise. It is the digital Library of Alexandria for everything that exists—or could exist—under Mario’s red cap.
Why does this matter? Nintendo builds pristine gardens. The Multiverse Archive explores the weeds, the cracked walls, and the forgotten basement doors. It’s a love letter to the glitches, the bootlegs, and the dreams of 10-year-olds who drew "Super Mario Universe" in their notebooks.
The archive is largely maintained by hobbyists on platforms like itch.io and specialized fan forums. Users often share re-uploads of public builds or legacy documentation to keep the project's legacy alive, as seen in community discussions where members trade links to archived files and share feedback on the narrative and gameplay elements.
Based on your request, it is highly likely you are looking for information on the fan-made game often referred to as "Super Mario Multiverse" (or simply Mario Multiverse).
Abstract: This paper proposes the establishment of the Mario Multiverse Archive (MMA), a systematic framework for cataloguing, cross-referencing, and preserving the disparate, often contradictory narrative and ontological planes within the Super Mario franchise. Since 1985, Nintendo has produced over 200 official Mario titles, yet no canonical continuity exists. Instead, the franchise operates as a multiverse of parallel dimensions, theatrical performances, dreamscapes, and software-specific realities. The MMA aims to classify these realities into discrete archival clusters, enabling researchers, developers, and fans to navigate the 38-year history of Mushroom Kingdom ontology.
