Fun Club Happy MAR10 Day 2023!

[VolcanicDynamo]

I'm a little late this year for my time zone, but in many parts of the world, it is currently March 10th, meaning that it's now MAR10 Day, a silly date pun-turned official celebration of Super Mario - and by proxy, Fami's second annual MAR10 Day thread! Nintendo and several partners have already lined up quite a few events and sales to sell the festivities.

In the games department, Nintendo has released Wave 4 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass on March 9th - you can chat all about it in the MK8D BCP StarTopic! Nintendo also has a new Nintendo Switch bundle at select retailers where you can pick out Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe as a bonus. There's also stickers based on The Super Mario Bros. Movie, if that's your thing.

There's also a sale on Mario-related games through March 11th, and a two-part digital sale starting at 12 PM PT - that's less than two hours away from this post!

If you already have all of the Mario games you could ask for, there's still lots of MAR10 Day fun. Of course, there's the final trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie...



...meanwhile LEGO is hosting the LEGO Super Mario YouTube Premiere at 11:00 AM, so we'll be sure to hear what's going on with the latest sets!



And over at Nintendo NY, they'll be holding a few special events. See a replica of Mario's boots - and a few other surprises - starting at 10 AM, or visit from 5-7PM for giveaways and a Mario meet and greet. Even GameStop has something planned for the day after!



Of course, like I said last year, the best part of MAR10 Day is the fan work. Sharing them last year is how I celebrated the festivities, and I hope to do so again this year if I can find some good stuff!



So like I said last time, share any fan work you find, discuss our favorite plumber and his friends, maybe play a Mario game to celebrate, and have a happy MAR10 Day!

It's not Mario Day. It's Marlo Day.

It's Marlo Day because he has just moved onto my island today.

It's been 1960 days since Odyssey shipped.

It's been 1960 days since Odyssey shipped.

Back in 2017 I was expecting the next 3D Mario around 2020-2021. 2020 in case we were seeing a Galaxy 2 sequel approach, 2021 if they were going a fresh route.

It's 2023 and we have no idea what or when the next one will be.

PS: We got plenty of stuff in between and Bowser's Fury but not a new and complete 3D game.

let him rest

 

[zumaddy]

Wahoo! My first Mario Bros game was Super Mario Bros Deluxe on the Gameboy Colour. Had all sorts of weird minigames/extras that captivated kid me.

 

[LukasManak22]

let him rest

no, he needs back to work

 

[MusicProposition]

This could’ve been a very exciting time for Mario fans but the most important thing (new games) is missing.

 

[TheMindOfThomas]

I’m happy we’re getting movie news and such, but without any big new Mario games on the horizon it feels slightly hollow. I wish they could have had something ready for today in that department.

Happy Mar10 Day!

 

[famicorpse]

Happy Mario Day!!

 

[Gartooth]

Happy Mar10 Day! Is anyone on Fami gonna go see Mario's shoes?

 

[LonkFromPA]

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

Starting MAR10 Day the best way I can think of: another run of Super Mario Bros. That was a fin way to spend my commute!

Happy Mar10 Day! Is anyone on Fami gonna go see Mario's shoes?

In truth I was considering it, but by the time I can get there it'd be much too crowded to do much in between my work breaks. Will I change my mind? We shall see.

 

[MaitreWakou]

Happy king day

Can't wait for the reveal of the Lego DK set later today ! Hoping it's a DK country inspired set, but I'd be ok with a Donkey Kong (arcade) inspired set too !

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Crazy that the entire marketing budget for TotK went into this but I mean you just gotta

 

[WestEgg]

I hope you’re all ready to do the Mario.

 

[LukasManak22]

Will be fun when the next entry in the 2D Mario series ships later this year.

No major games in H2 tho

 

[Cheetah6442]

no, he needs back to work

Hey, he is working. On the movie(and his next game, obviously). Between that and managing a park, cut him some slack, his hands are tied.

 

[LukasManak22]

No major games in H2 tho

I would be forever laughing in that statement or whatever that even was

 

[Jahranimo]

Also Happy 10th anniversary to the Year of Luigi!

 

[Lucyfer]

I saw someone point out... what if the rumored DK game is actually a Mario + DK game? Never seen Mario riding on DK's back before

 

[totofogo]

I know this isn't anything new, but it's so cool to see it all laid out like that. Something about the slow trickle of NSO titles and separation of them into different apps mades the whole feel less significant to me vs. how cool it was to browse the Wii Virtual Console.

Very nice to reflect on how much we have in our hands!

 

[Brock Reiher]

hold up... they're recommending what Land 3? On Mario Day?

 

[Gabev]

Happy Marrio Day to all and to all a good YAHOO!

This is the first time in years that I've seen Nintendo acknowledge Yoshi's Island as a Super Mario title and not just the start of the Yoshi platformers.

Shit, this is the closest I've seen them acknowledge the Wario Land games as part of the Mario franchise!

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

It's time for a MAR10 Day Fan Art Dump!!

 

[HockeyBird]

They're saving Jimmy Fallon in a Tingle outfit for April.

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

MAR10 Day art is so strong that it cannot be held in just a single post. Check them out!

 

[Apopheniac]

oh shit, I forgot to buy him a gift

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

Gotta have one last round of fan works!

 

[SiG]

 

[edamame]

I celebrated by watching the Super Mario Bros. movie!

...from 1993. It's terrible, yet there's something about it that's oddly charming. It's a guilty pleasure.

They added a little Mario animation for the eShop loading screen.

They added a little Mario animation for the eShop loading screen.

They brought it back, it existed at some point and only seeing it again yesterday I realized it had been gone.
