In Japan, it’s March 10th! Hey, doesn’t “Mar10” kinda look like “Mario”? Well, after fans took notice, Nintendo did too, and now MAR10 Day is a yearly celebration/marketing opportunity for the plumber in red. At this point, though, MAR10 Day has turned into a longer and longer celebration, so if Nintendo wants to celebrate it early, so can I. I won't let Daylight Savings Time rob me of more Mario!
For the third year in a row, I’ve taken it upon myself to round up all of the announcements and events to share them in one thread. Let’s-a go!
First off, the games! Last week, we had the release of the demo for the upcoming Princess Peach: Showtime!, and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Open March 2024 Tournament will be happening online today from 12 PM PT - 6 PM PT. Ready to compete for some Gold Points?
Through March 17th (11:59 PM PT), Nintendo is hosting an eShop sale for various Mario titles. The Mario + Rabbids games and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 each have sales of 60%+, while other titles have a more modest $20 off. For more details, you can check out the deals on Nintendo’s official website. There’s also some deals available at retail starting on March 10th, which Nintendo has also detailed on their website. To keep it brief, some Mario games are up to $20 off, and you can get a $25 gift card when you purchase a Nintendo Switch.
My Nintendo has a slew of new rewards for Mario fans to sink their teeth into. For physical fans, we have a Mario zip pouch and Mario tech stickers. We also have new profile icons on Nintendo Switch Online - play Super Mario World through April 1st to grab them! If you wanna put your Platinum Coins towards some sweepstakes, why not put some towards potentially winning some Princess Peach clothing from BlackMilk (who has also restocked their Super Mario line) or some new LEGO Super Mario sets?
Speaking of LEGO Super Mario, a few new sets were revealed in a new video! Coming this year, we have the Bowser Express Train Set, King Boo’s Haunted Mansion Set, and Battle with Roy at Peach’s Castle Set. And next year, Mario Kart is coming to LEGO Super Mario!
We have a dedicated discussion thread for these announcements, so feel free to hop over there!

Want to celebrate MAR10 Day with other Mario fans? If you are in the NYC area, you’re in luck - Nintendo NYC is throwing a big Mario bash on MAR10 DAY at 12 PM ET! There’s a poster giveaway, a screening of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and more!
Of course, like with all celebrations like this, the best part isn’t what the corporation does - it’s what the fans do! From fan work to playing these games we love, that’s what MAR10 Day is really about.
So, got any Mario plans for this weekend? Maybe starting up or replaying a Mario game? Perhaps participating in these events? Either way, have a good time, and Happy MAR10 Day!
