The Super Mario Wiki is a collaborative knowledge-base about everything in the Mario, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Yoshi universe. It is driven by a fan-based community, and runs on a wiki (meaning any registered user can edit and create articles). It also covers the Banjo-, Conker-, Pyoro-, and Super Smash Bros.-series under certain restrictions listed in the Super Mario Wiki Importance Policy.

The wiki was created on August 12th, 2005 by Stephen Shinn (who goes by Porplemontage, the namesake of his original site, Porplemontage Studios), who received help from AgentSeethroo (who was an administrator on Porple's Halopedia site as well). Originally intended to cover everything about the Mario-series, the site was soon split into the MarioWiki, DKWiki, and the Wario Wiki (the latter being a project that only a limited few could access); there were also several other wikis in the planning stages before the whole "Wiki Alliance" project was scrapped and all content was returned to the Super Mario Wiki in 2007.

Additionally, the wiki used to be funded by donations, taken inspiration from Homestar Runner Wiki, but the lack of funds resulted in embedding Google ads from the left (and later the top, bottom, and even the left side) in order for the wiki to continue running. Recently, Stephen made Google ads appear only for guests who use the wiki only for reading info, instead of contributing.
