Popular Nintendo Blogger Supper Mario Broth Says He May Only Have a Year to Live

Supper Mario Broth, a popular blog known for obscure and humorous facts about the Super Mario series, has disclosed that its creator has serious genetic health problems, including heart failure and worsening eyesight. He says there is a two-in-three chance he will live beyond a year, and has pledged to keep running the blog for as long as he is physically able.

The creator, whose posts have appeared across the blog and social media since 2012, says his declining vision could make researching and compiling Mario facts harder and may lead to gaps in content. He is unsure whether surgery or medication could slow the eyesight loss, and has not asked readers for financial or emotional support. Supporters have responded with messages and fan art, while some have urged Nintendo to give him access to an upcoming Mario game.
