Mario Club
Not to be confused with the Japanese TV program, Super Mario Club that broadcast from 1990 to 2001.
Mario Club Co. Ltd (Japanese: マリオクラブ株式会社) is a subsidiary of Nintendo that conducts testing on video games and works on debugging them. The company was formally a group within Nintendo for years also responsible for quality control[1], but as of July 2009 the company officially became a subsidiary.[2] The current president is Yuichi Kitamaru. [3]
Mario Club is known under a number of different but similar names, including Super Mario Club, NCL Super Mario Club, SMC Debug Team and Super Mario Club Debug Team. [4]
Super Mario Club are listed under "Debug" in the credits of Densetsu no Starfy 4 and the Japanese version of The Legendary Starfy, and under "Special Thanks" in the Game Boy Advance games. The North American version of The Legendary Starfy does not credit Super Mario Club, but rather NOA Product Testing Department.
