Nintendo’s free Hello, Peach! and Hello, Luigi! apps are available as digital downloads for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo also lists both as supported on Nintendo Switch 2, with behavior consistent with Switch. The Canadian store lists an October 5, 2026 release date; Nintendo’s European listings show October 6.
What are Hello, Peach! and Hello, Luigi!?
They are short-form, touch-based character apps rather than conventional games built around a long campaign. Players can poke, pull, stretch, or spin Peach or Luigi’s face, bring objects and enemies into the scene from an on-screen ? Block menu, and play peekaboo. Nintendo describes the two apps with essentially the same activities, so there is no supported basis for ranking one over the other.

How play works, and what happens after a while
The apps focus on expressive, hands-on interaction with the character on screen. Nintendo says that after playing for a while, the character falls asleep and play pauses. This break feature can be turned off in the app’s settings; it is not an unchangeable parental control.

Do the apps work offline?
You need an internet connection to download either app. Nintendo says that after downloading, each app can be played offline.
Do you need My Mario wooden blocks?
No. The apps are free and do not require the wooden character blocks. If you have a compatible My Mario block, Nintendo says you can tap or scan it using NFC while in the app to show that character. The blocks are optional accessories, not a condition for playing.

Are the Peach and Luigi apps available on phones or tablets?
Nintendo’s general My Mario app support page says the Hello, Mario! series is downloadable on tablets, smartphones, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. It lists iOS 15 or later and Android 6.0 or later, along with Android hardware requirements of 2 GB RAM, a 64-bit CPU, and OpenGL ES 3.0 or later; Nintendo cautions that operation is not guaranteed on every device meeting those specifications. That series-level guidance does not specifically confirm mobile releases of Hello, Peach! or Hello, Luigi!. Check Nintendo’s My Mario app support information for the device details it publishes.
