French gaming fans are in for a treat, especially those of the Mario franchise. For an afternoon in April 2026, their gaming console will experience a growth spurt thanks to a Super mushroom. This will result in a massive screen for them to play on. During the Easter holidays, the Podensac media library and the Lux cinema in Cadillac, both located in South Gironde, are teaming up for a special Mario week.
To coincide with the release of the film “Super Mario Galaxy” (released on Wednesday, April 1 at the cinema), the organizers are offering a series of activities. These include a Mario Kart tournament on a cinema screen, as well as the film screening and a special afternoon focusing on Mario games, from the retro to the most recent ones (including an augmented reality experience). Two fun-filled afternoons are planned to immerse fans in the world of the world’s most famous plumber.
Save the date for the tournament on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at the Lux cinema. The cinema is known for hosting special events, and this time it’s a Mario Kart tournament.
On Thursday, April 16, 2026, starting from 2:30 pm, players can enjoy a unique setting for a game of Mario Kart. The cinema hall with its red seats will host participants for a tournament of the famous Nintendo racing game (suitable for ages 6 and up).
In addition, attendees can try out different Mario games on the giant screen and watch the film “Super Mario Galaxy.” An exciting adventure for Mario and Luigi in the heart of an intergalactic journey.
Two days before the final colorful and playful event, another episode will kick off the special Mario week in Podensac. The inter-municipal media library of Podensac is transforming its regular video game afternoons into a dedicated Mario event on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, from 3 pm to 6 pm, for ages 7 and up.
“Come play games from the Mario universe, from the oldest to the newest, create your own game levels, and try Mario Kart in augmented reality.” This is the program announced by the media library. Simple and effective.
And now? “Here we gooo,” as the man in the blue overalls and red cap would say.
