Happy Mario Day, everyone!
Why is March 10 Mario Day? Well, it's a bit of a pun. When March 10th is written as "Mar10", it looks like "Mario", hence March 10 being Mario Day.
For many years, the day was an unofficial day of celebration for fans of the Super Mario franchise. In 2016, Nintendo officially recognized Mario Day, by creating special events around the day every year. Usually, these events revolved around sales of Mario games in the various eShops.
2025's Mario Day is a very special one because this year celebrates the 40th anniversary of the release of the original Super Mario Bros. game, having been officially released in September 1985 for the Famicom in Japan (The Famicom was the Japanese counterpart of the original Nintendo Entertainment System).
I hope you had a great day today!
